As Freud said: 'sometimes a melon is just a succulent piece of fruit, ripe, round, juicy and delicious…and sometimes a melon is a, a, hey? What was I talking about?’

Melons? 
Depends on context I suppose.
Take a look at my CCW. (concealed carry weapon)
Doesn't everybody CCW? (carry a concealed weapon)
And some people use the initials to stand for the license itself. My CCW fell out of my wallet!
CWP = concealed weapon permit, not Cingle White Phemale
CCP = concealed carry permit

Looks like we're just about ready to close this one. 
But, I've gotta ask if anyone else gets a little peeved when their CCW license is called a "permit"? I don't mind having a 'license' to carry my own weapon, well actually I do, but that topic has been well covered in these pages by many of us. However, my permission to carry came from James Madison and many others of his age and ilk. When I went to pick up my renewal last year, the clerk of the court said something like, "here's your permit sir, please sign here ...". I went over the "permit" vs "license" with her and she actually agreed and said she would try to use the word license from now on (the license itself unfortunately says "permit" on it). A nit? Not really.

Mal H- It doesn't really bother me; I look at it as a "clip" vs. "magazine" issue. I understand your frustration on the issue though; I don't need a permit to carry. I'm an American citizen. That's my permit.
And incidentally, here in Kali the little piece of paper they give you says 'license'

I don't see a problem calling my permit a permit. I don't see it as a permit to carry a weapon, I see it as a permit to conceal a weapon. I don't have much problem with that.
Very good point, anchored. Trust me, it doesn't bother me all that much. I just wanted to see what others thought about it.

Heh. They sometimes want to UNconceal themselves at the dangdest times. Like while standing in a crowded city bus, crammed in like sardines, and this little fert-head pops out your jacket and starts licking some gal on the nose .
In Mass. it's an "LTC": "license to carry".

Mine says it's a "PENNSYLVANIA LICENSE TO CARRY FIREARMS".
I guess that makes it a PLTCF, not a CCW.

Here in Texas the actual license is called a CHL. In Georgia, it's colloquially known as a "toter's permit."
Don't listen to the print magazines and the people above.
CCW stands for Counter ClockWise guns. It just means that some weapons have a tendency to tilt CCW when firing. There are also CW (ClockWise) guns that tend to tilt clockwise during recoil. None of this, of course, is to be confused with CS (CorkScrew) guns that tend to corkscrew when you fire them; That is why you see so many people in the movies hold their guns sideways!
