CEZ - Criminal Empowerment Zone; similar to GFZ and PFZ, but can be just because of a sign on private property. An older term, but still occasionally used by people who have frequented the various Michigan boards for a long time.

RKBA -  Right to keep and bear arms
RKBCA - Right to keep and bear concealed arms... see FUDD

Additional decription of fudd - Slang term for a "casual" gun owner; eg; a person who typically only owns guns for hunting or shotgun sports and does not truly believe in the true premise of the second amendment.
