All I can say is, "Be afraid... be very afraid!"

I AM very afraid. Afraid there might really be someone who thinks like that for real!!!

Im headed this weekend to get another 629.....that way if I wear both I'll be better balanced when I walk.

I ran into a mall ninja today at The Range. Dude had a drop leg holster, and a OWB holster, each had a Glock in it. The guy had an abundance of mag pouches and other tac gear and Combat boots, all black.

I don't think that it was the original Gecko45 that showed up here, rather simply a member poking a bit of fun at some of the threads in the areas devoted to the "new fangled" portions of the Smith and Wesson product catalog.

The original posts themselves were made with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

There's limited evidence that the term goes back at least into the mid 90s, with one version of the story suggesting a cartoon of some sort in either Guns or American Handgunner inspired the term.

I always thought it was tongue-in-cheek. The posts were so totally absurd that they read more like finely crafted comedy than anything that could possibly represent a real person's outlook. I don't know how he kept a "straight face" but figured he was doing the LMAO thing while writing and reading the hilarious responses.

I think I pulled a muscle when I got to the part where he said "BTW A one time experiementation while in the military, does not make one a homosexual."

Somebody shoot me please!

I know mall ninja's exist, because not long ago a young co worker asked me if I could find him a grenade launcher for his AR. I had to ask him why, and the response I got was because his neighbors dog barked all the time and he figured the occasional smoke grenade would soothe the savage beast. I don't think he realizes the range or velocity of the grenades that come out of those, not to mention given his motives, the answer is no. Every local gunshop has been called by him too, and he has to drive two hours to buy stuff no because he likes to debate the ATF rules with every shop owner.

I work security (unarmed) at a local private campground. My wife refers to me as "My very own 'Campground Ninja."

 

[jeepjeepwhat]

I work as an armed corporate security officer and a lot of that stuff hits home. That mall ninja thread really reminds me of some of my co-workers. Now that I think about it, my boss might be gecko45.

Hey Handejector!

Can I get my username changed to "Cubicle Ninja"? As of now I'm only a 3rd degree in ninjitsu, but I'm the star student down at the Y!

I love the internet.

WOW ...things must be scary in the malls over there in the US!

Great to see you have such dedicated pseudo LEOs! I would never have imagined that you had such "unruly shoppers" that these guys required PSG-1's and MP5's to "take 'em down"....I assume they are most "unruly" when shopping at the post christmas sales. I guess this is when most of the bloodshed starts.

I am a little concerned about SPECOPS. He/she has been shot 3 times and stabed 5 times in 15 years! ....I would suggest a little more Ninja school is required. As well as much more body armour and many more weapons, possibly a little something in a .50BMG as well a s a shiny new grenade launcher, and some night vision... These poor guys are getting threats from jailed shoplifters! They should be armed to the teeth 24/7!

I think also Gecko & SPECOPS need .338 black rifles with Starlights for clinically clean shots on the teenage girl in the drug store who is using too much of the perfume in the "tester" bottle...that will show her! ....for a better angle they can use those wall climbing booties.

Don't worry lads, keep up the good work...your efforts are appreciated by all in this forum! (storytelling efforts anyway)

That's got to be humor. Seems like Onion news type comedy, to me.
However, it was some of the funniest stuff I've read in years, bar none!
Need some more laughter like that; healthy for the soul. fwiw

My thoughts as well. I think he got the last laugh.
