He's a guy that carries three or more guns, 12 mags, 1/2doz knifes and about 6 flash lights. He wears leather and chains and hangs out at the mall and is always ready to go into action. He's got more stories than the spit and whittle club down at the court house. Alfred E. Newman is his hero.
That's a Mall Ninja.

This pretty much sums it up. This also describes my concealed carry instructor.

The mall ninjas I encounter don't wear leather or chains. They all look like they just stepped out of a 5.11 catalog when they are in their "discreet" disguise, and like a Blackhawk catalog when they are in their range costume.

Normally they can't shoot worth a damn. They are also normally at least 50 pounds overweight and will likely drop dead from a heart failure long before they need a pistol.

Other required equipment for mall ninjas, besides tabi shoes, is at least one fully accessorized M4 or underfolder AK and a "bug out bag" full of magazines and freeze dried food, so they can flee the nuclear holocaust/WMD attack/Mexican coup/volcanic eruption (pick one or more) on foot. At least until they make it about a mile and then drop dead from heart failure.

I read that site a long time ago. I am never sure whether to laugh, cry, or just be afraid that that amount of stupidity exists somewhere.
