This thread is starting to bear a striking resemblance to the infamous "mall ninja" chronicles, except that I think some folks here are serious.

Ah, the infamous mall ninja chronicles. If this doesn't get a laugh out of you, you have no sense of humor at all.

To whet your appetite, they began this way:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')ast 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.

Mall Ninja Chronicles posts will be moved to the Open Discussion area shortly.

Well, my original comment still applies to the Gun Thread.

In the meantime, I'll search for the original "Tactical Wheelbarrow" reference.

I find it pretty interesting to note that Specop was the original mall ninja. Who knew?

Man that's funny!!!

Sounds like the Fox Hills Mall in Los Angeles, but I think the baddies there *are* still using Lorca .25's and Tec-9's.
