You Know You're a Mall Ninja If...

I heard the "mall ninja' phrase years before I visited thehighroad.org. Did the phrase start entirely because of gecko45's actions?

I was painting my garage doors last night and couldn't stop thinking about Gecko45 and this post. Occasionally I'd just randomly start laughing and probably looked like a complete goof but this stuff stays with you for a while.

I told my fiance about Gecko45's post about putting briefcases by his head with 'ceramic plates' as response to any kind of shooting. She just laughed and laughed.
 
Re Post #64, I know the guy with the Lahti. He's also got an NFA Thompson, DE .50, Magnum Research BFR, and a bunch of other stuff in .44Mag, .454 Casull, etc.

When he got the BFR, he tried it with some Winchester .45-70, about the same muzzle energy as a Trapdoor Springfield, or Sharps Buffalo rifle. He was disappointed with the recoil. The next Friday, he brought some handloads.

He let us try one round at a time, shooting bullseye stance. I'm 5'11, weight at the time around 250-260. I started out facing the target, non-shooting hand in pocket and revolver on target. The round went exactly where I aimed it. I wound up with the gun vertical, facing back uprange. It had backed me out of the booth.
 
You are a mall ninja if you:

- trick out, chrome out, or add red dots or lasers to a freaking SKS rifle.

*It is bad enough people have the poor taste to do it- but you are a super mall ninja if you brag that you will actually repel a future Chinese/UN/Alien invasion with such a rifle.

Done, and done!!

BTW, this rifle is now one of my favorite, especially since I've added a 3 point sling to it (took the red dot off though).

The phrase was around back in the '80's. I don't know the origin of it, but I remember it from then. It may be even older.

What ever happened to gecko45 anyway? Is he still around, or did he get laughed out of town?
 
Heh...

This was a Norinco, so a functional bayonet would've caused problems, before I got it below the import threshold. After I got it US-ified, I just left the beer-o-net on it.
 
...you've posed for a Blackhawk ad...

...you were in Force Recon, but you're not sure which branch of the service that group belongs to...

...you wear tabi boots with Royal Robbins pants...

...you have a 5.11 necktie...
 
I wasn't gonna post here but what the hell.

...if everything you know about firearms and tactics, you've learned from playing First Person Shooters.

...if a loud fart in a crowded mall ended in a firefight.

...if your security golf cart is fitted for off-roading and driving in waist deep water.

...if your 4 cell maglite flashlight is fitted with a red-dot sight, a pistol grip, and a smaller flashlight.

ok... I'm done... really....
 
It would be hillarious if Hollywood could get a hold of this thread and make like a " National Lampoon " movie from it.Perhaps somebody like Sasha Baron Cohen,[Borat],or Mike Myers could play the part of the Mall Nija defending it from all " clicks " of groups and gangs of teenagers that " Hang-Out " at the local malls all the time .....?

How about both of them... as a team!!?!

Someone's got to catch rounds while the other assembles the sniper rifle...
 
...use Curly Fries from the Food Court to keep your Surefire mounted to your dustpan when sweeping with a broom.


...hate Summer when cute gals wear short shorts and tank tops because folks look at these gals and not you.

... just found out Trojans were not originally invented to keep rain, snow and sleet out of a barrel.

...had to ask your mommie what a condom was...

...were denied permission from Mall Property owners to test the shotgun shells duct taped together to make 5" long shells with umpteen ball bearing from the skates found in a dumpster as "Mall Sweepers".

...wet your 5.11s because some pretty good girl touched your arm and asked where the Bikini Hut was.

...been chased out of Victoria Secret for loitering...
 
I'll throw in my $.02, even though I want to tinker with an SKS :)

.... you constantly boast about the Calico M960 and 100rd mag you have for concealed carry.

..... you use your airsoft guns to pose for semi-nude photos for internet dating sites.

.... you've ever tried to mount a laser on a Cinnabon.

.... you have the Haagen Daas guy make up a special Hoppes #9 shake just for you.

.... you consider emo kids a tactical threat as they "dress funny".

... you've ever considered pepper spray a 'verbal' warning.
 
You " ARE " a Mall Nija if....

you walk around your local Mall and all the girls think that " huge bulge " in your front pocket is either a " banana ",or,you're just " Happy " to see them.
:uhoh: :eek: :confused: :what:


But in reality, that huge bulge is any one of the Multi-Tool,[some models have up to 13 little fold-out tools]," Swiss Army Knives " !!! :p

P.S. Now i KNOW many of YOU are guilty of that one !!! :neener: :neener: :neener:
 
Now i KNOW many of YOU are guilty of that one

It's not a multitool. It's a big ol' wallet from the 'SpecOps' brand. :neener:

Sure, it's a bit on the Mall-Ninja side - but that extra size is handy for hauling all sorts of junk.

hello friends,
Last year I made the decision to trust my life on the street to Second Chance body armor. I got the level IIa because it stops the most rounds. plus I got the Trauma Plate for the front.
What scares me is that, although I can fit an extra trauma plate in the front, I cannot fit a second one in back. As of late I have taken to duct-taping a second trauma plate to the area of my back where the heart and vital organs are located. Then I put my vest on.
Here is the questions. The ducttape solution, although tactically sound, is hot and painful to remove. I would like to go to the single-plate solution in back. What I am worried about is repeated hits to that area with .308 ammunition. I have a high-risk security job and I fear that I would be the target for repeated long-distance shots to my back.
Are any of you aware of a thicker plate that could stop, say, .338 Lapua or something like that? Is there a better way to do the second plate?
BTW, I am, of course, usually carrying a pair of ceramic plates in my briefcase so that I can shield my head. My SO (we work as a team when necessary) has a similar accessory containing a breakdown NEF single-shot 300 WinMag with an 18″ bbl. The plan is that I shield us with my body and “catch the rounds” while she assembles the NEF. I lay down covering fire with my 23 (Bar-Sto .357 Sig barrel) and she makes the long shots. I will then throw smoke grenades to obscure the area while continuing to lay covering fire. The problem, of course, is when I have to turn my back to run, and then the problem crops up.
Thanks!
OMG! Thanks for the laughs guys! :D

...You are saving your money for a bullet proof SUV
...You have trouble going up hills on the way to the mall due to the weight of ammo and back up arms in an old worn out police car.
...You removed the door panels and replaced them with BP vest.
 
You've finally got one those overwieght

counter girls that work at the Mall's Food Court to go-out on a date with you.In usual fashion,you've chosen the Mall's Video Machine Archade to go out on with this " Hot Date ".
You end spending over $60.00 dollars,[a weeks salary as a rent-a-cop for Mall Security], in a matter of just 45 minutes.
You've totally forgotten about your girflriend,but she left 15 minutes ago,and you didn't even notice.
You've already played all of the " The Night,Dawn,Day of the Land of the Living Dead " Zombie video machines,and now have moved on to all of the Martial Arts video machines.
No-love-lost to you though.........you know that there are hundreds of Mall Food Courts within a 50 mile radius,and you have the time and "good looks " to pick-up more overwieght food court servers that have very low self esteem of themslves.


You are the " Don Jaun " of Mall Ninjas ! :neener:
