You know you are a mall ninja when ...

I'm not saying my future grandson in law is a mall ninja , but he's trying to find a camo tux to marry my granddaughter in.
 
You have $750 of accessories on a $300 rifle and have not shot the first 10 round group yet to see if your stuff is 'Zeroed'.

You are an angry Mall Ninja when the old guy with the heavy barrel Ruger 10-22 challenges you to a rifle match at $1 per point for 10 rounds on a bullseye target.
 
You might be a Mall Ninja.

If you polish your twenty rounds of ammunition on a regular basis. Or if you keep dummy hand grenades in your tactical Stack on gun safe.
 
When you stand around the gun store wearing all your tactical clothing, and your Batman utility belt with all your tactical do dads hanging off it spouting off unsolicited gun advise to novice and experienced shooters alike. Then you tell a story about how much of a bad #%* you were back in 'Nam during the Tet Offensive, then later on you slip up and tell me you where born in 1958, meaning you were freakin' 10 years old in 1968 during the Tet Offensive and I bust you on it in front of several people!!!! Stupid mall ninjas.
 
You might be a mall Ninja.

When you wear an empty drop down leg holster around town, just because. ;)
 
When your wife needs to order diapers on amazon and tells you she deleted everything in your cart because it was all gun **** that you don't need...

I really needed that stuff.
 
Alright i know more than a few of us are guilty of this:
Having a flashlight on your weapon, and never shot it in the dark.... but tested it in dark room just to see what it looked like.

Having any accessory on your weapon and after installing it the first thought was that looks so bad ***, rather than that is really useful.
 
You might be a Mall Ninja.

When you start out every other sentence with, "I am not really supposed to talk about this".
 
If you bought a weapon because it looked like the one (Insert action character) used in (insert action movie)...
If you watched The Walking Dead and now own a "tactical" bow...
If you think every foreign enemy screams "GRANADA!" when US soldiers throw grenades...
If your kit includes a skull pattern balaclava...
If think you'll look as good as Travis Haley in said kit...
If you put a spotlight on your Honda civic...
If you bought a 15-22 and later had to buy your daughter new crayons...
You might be a Mall Ninja.

Yep, that is the one that gets so many of us here, but few want to admit it. Form over function would have to be the easiest way to spot a mall ninja. I mean sure, there are times I need a bi-pod... but I sure don't need it strapped to the gun at all times. Yep, I have a flashlight, but I can't remember the last time I had to check out a warehouse in the dark... with my 22lr.

So if you have ever said or thought, "I'll never really use this but it looks cool", then even if you can't say it, YOU MOST CERTAINLY ARE A MALL NINJA.

I think we all have a little ninja in us... of course, some more than others. Take me for example. Normally, I'm a function over form kinda guy. Normally, I could care less what it looks like, so long as it works. But then I come to this site & see these pics of these really cool looking additions, like maybe a barrel shroud, and I catch myself thinking "Man, that would look cool on my 15-22 too". Thankfully, after a couple of slaps to the head, I regain my senses & say no... most of the time. :D
 
You might be a mall ninja if.....

You have tattoo of an AR-15.
Your three dogs are named Smith, Wesson, and Carbine.
You wear a homemade necklace of a .223 cartridge.
You have a keychain that matches your necklace.
