If anyone is interested in a super glamorous vocation such as security
officer, or armored car messenger/driver, I have positions available in
Southern Missouri. We are frequently in need of Mall Ninjas.

I am not yet a ninja, merely a student of the art of Ninjitsu, and I prefer
not to have status such as "Ninja" laid upon me, for as yet I am unworthy
of the title. I will be completing my ninjisu training in a little over 8
months, and then I will be a Master of Ninjitsu, a true "Ninja". But it is
not my martial arts skills that make me so vital to the security of the
mall, it is my tactical and strategic skills honed by years of intens
on-site on the job training. My weapons skills are the envy of the squad,
and I think that with my expertise I ought to be able to choose an
effective and reliab;e weapon for CQC and urban combat, whicch is why I
chose SW, the MP5's are junk comparatively.

As you may have noticed I do not hang out over here very often, but
have some ran into the Mall Ninja before. SPECOPS is the great Mall Ninja
of AR-15.com. I am usually over at AK-47.net and have not seen him there.
His great tales are unrelated to SW as far as I can tell. It seems that he
has other issues. Just cause a guy may seem off (some farther then others)
does not mean he is Todd. Ask SPECOPS if he can smell a gun in the room.

I was not comparing you to the great Mall Ninja SPECOPS, unless you
both work at the same mall, or are the same person.

Boy, who the hell is Todd, and why do you have such a hardon for the
guy???
No I'm not this 'Todd' character, and no, I won't put on a dress for
you a pretend I am your boyfriend 'Todd.'
As for all this 'mall ninja' crap, I can't speak for my brother in
arms, Gecko45, but I don't even work in a mall anymore. I work for an
exclusive security corporation (yeah, corporation, that's why we get all
the good c3 stuff, read up on your NFA laws you jacklegs).
We get contracted out to do security and surveillance by other
corporations that are 'high risk' locations or 'high priority' targets for
terrorists/corp. espionage/crimals/gangs, etc...
Yes I have 'worked' high risk security at certain malls, and yes the
corp. I work for does do contract work for malls. That is why I know a lot
about the topic. Or course I work higher profile assignments now. That's
what 15 years experience, countless hours of training, 7 company
citations, 3 gunshot wounds, 5 knife wounds, and a lot of hard work will
do for you.
As far as the ninja stuff, yes we train are people in some forms of
martial arts, but nobody here considers themselves a ninja.
Hey HKZ, you better get back to the TV, I think it's time for "Power
Rangers" to come on.

of what you are saying. So, we are all off to more intellectually

Specops has his head screwed on straight unlike the rest of you, I'm glad
a guy like him one risked hi life to serve in this high risk profession. I
know it's tough, but the responses from this board sure prove that most of
you could'nt do this job with help.

activities to stop and see that their are folks with guns, keeping you and
yours safe. Hats off to you Retail security types. I feel better knowing
well trained security specop types are there with quality weapons keeping
a sharp eye out for me and mine. Thanks you brave and beautiful
people. Hows that partner of yours that does the prone support for your
testicile, er a tactical firing type postitions. Do you use secure

Laugh on, laughing boy.
You're just jealous that SPECOPS and I have something to show for our
lives and you do not. The Corporation's work is the only thing I can talk
about, SPECOPS may have led a more adventurous career, but his actions
must have been very above-board for him to be able to discuss this much of
his work with you. My "Black-Ops" history ensures that you will never know
about the missions I accepted in my younger days, and Vietnam still
shudders when it hears the name of a an assasin so skillful and deadly, he
is remembered decades later. I hope all of you manage to find some meaning
in life, because you obviously have never put your life on the line for
others, and until you have almost died, you have never lived. In my
profession, you take risks that would be considered impossible to 99% of
other men, and undergo pain that the mere shock of which would kill any
three of you pantywaists.
Specops know what I mean, he's been, I can tell, and you can take his
word for it, it's harder than you think.

Nice try jerkweed. No I'm not this Todd guy, no I'm not a 'mall ninja,'
man you guys are paranoid! Do you do this to all the new members?
Ekie, maybe you are this Todd fella that HKZ is always ranting about.
How about it, are you HKZ's boyfriend Todd???
And no, I don't go over to AR15.com or AK47.net or any of the other
websites you like to spank-off to. I was here looking for info about my
personally owned HK93 and saw you guys jumping all over Gecko45.
Don't you guys got anything better to do than bash some guy that has
questions about his duty weapons???
If you can't take the heat, don't get into our profession. If your man
enough, why don't you fill out the app. when you finally hit 18 in 5 years
and we'll run you through the physical test, oral boards, psych test,
backgroud check, credit check, etc...
In the mean time, stop bashing the profession just because your jealous
of a real man's job.

Thank you rick, it's nice to know that I have your support in this
dark cruel world.
When not on solo ops, we do use secure communications devices, and no
you cannot get them at Radio Shack. Military frequencies are scrambled
using a 256 bit encryption algorithm, and it is well-nigh uncrackable in
any reasonable amount of time.
Just for those who have asked, I will not reveal my identity. Some of

Don't worry, just ignore this thread like a big boy, and you can get
back to more "intellectually stimulating topics," like: "what is the best
Pokeman episode," or "which Olsen twin do you prefer to wack-off to."
I could care less if you believe me. I've been through hell and back

You have a lot to learn about the 'real' world, and I'm not talking about

I have not seen this much stupidity my entire life.
SPECOPS you sure do make a lot of references to homosexuality. That is
a tale-tale sign of someone who is not secure with their manhood. It is
obvious that you lack any qualities that a real man may have. I pity you
and your obviously pathetic existence.

Yeah Nancy, cry to the mods to kill the TRUTH. Just because you're too
much of a Sally to hear REAL men talk about REAL life experiences.
BTW A one time experiementation while in the military, does not make
one a homosexual. It's when you practice it daily, like yourself, that you
become a homosexual.
Don't worry, even though you don't believe in me, or my work, I'd still
save your sorry ass if you got into trouble in one of my secured areas.
That's my job, and I practice it proudly.
However if you come into the sector I'm LRRPing with the intention of

fast, you'll be Rottweiler poop-poo before you even begin to feel the

It is amazing how tough one can be behind a computer screen. Keep it up

will never have to confront me face to face. You are nothing but a COWARD

Don't worry Lucy, you'll never have to confront me as long as you stay

Until the day you cross that line, I'll keep watching over and

SPECOPS, I believe I know something of your identity since your last
two posts. Were you ever alingned, if not part of, our nation's "Special
Forces"?
And for all of you who have a problem with real special operations
guys, go try some of our work yourself, run a mile in our boots before you

Miss.hk,
there are no 'threats' going on from my part. I'm only promising to do
my job, if I have to. Is it a 'threat' when a police officer tells a
criminal to stay straight? No, similarly it is not a threat to remind a
person that he better not break the law on my shift.
I don't claim to be a 'tough guy', but I have earned respect from my
co-workers in a 'tough' field. You guys are the ones that jumped on Gecko
for wanting a good duty gun, now who are the tough guys behind the
keyboards???

I understand your concern, I am well acquainted with the operator in
question, but you reminded me vividly of him.
An excellent seminar, by the way which I enjoyed immensely,
demonstating to the instructor the proper procedure for breaching steel
doorframes was a necessity, the man was a SEAL, and a demolitions expert,
but I couldn't just let him blow himself up. Too much C4, improper
detonator-I could go on, but you know what I mean and what I did.
What do you suppose is everyone's problem with a cpouple of real men,
who have put their lives on the line so many times, for the good of the
people, killed for their country, and they spit in our faces. I can't
begin to uderstand why they're not more grataeful for our protection.

With all these school shootings, I`m glad their are some real Americans
that are left to step up to the plate swinging. These unsung heroes
pick it up and set it down, daily. They dont get the fancy budgets and
training, yet they do their best to stay up on anti-terrorist skils. What
a great target for tangos. The stanchion of Americas retail

I agree wholeheartedly, why must every remonstration to remain a
law-abiding citizen, so that we do not find it necessary to take you out,
be seen as a threat. If a kid picks up a candy bar and runs, you give him
a warning before you cuff him. Same with those mindless teenyboppers who
go to the Hickory Farms store, and then take double samples of fruitcake
and cheeselog, you warn them that they will be charged with a felony(grand
theft), and that if they attempt to fight and run, they will be,
unfortunately, first tazered, and if they continue to resist violently
with intent to maim, then wounded. Fortunately, wounding fire to suppress
teenage kleptomaniacs is relatively easy, they all run in straight lines,
and a hit in the knee will be relatively simple from the second floor. But
they all get a warning first, we do not simply shoot shoplifters unless
they resist violently. Buttstroking those who attempt to injure me is
another story. Consider this your warning, HKsissy, because we'll aim for
center if you get dangerous or violent on our patrols. You do not
understand how difficult our job is, or you would be grateful for this
warning you have been given-whether you are on SPECOPS's turf, or on mine,
you will not repeat not act up with iniquity.

Ihave come to the conclusion that most of you here, besides being
insulting and rude, not to mention ugly, are ignorant, why would you be
defending a POS like an MP5, because in my experience, they just din't
work with hollowpoints, and anybody who would shoot FMJ in an urban area
is also an idiot. I need to know how all of you experts can support a gun
with so many FTF's and jams, is this the acceptable performance you can't
get because you are jealous of Todd and his businees which turns out
quality firearms, and thus your bias against a solid dependable gun is
warping you jugement.?

Well, I did learn a lot from that particular operator. I studied his
tactics in depth. In a way you could call him my mentor.
I enjoyed the seminar a lot, but didn't actually learn anything new and
unique. Those young SOCOM types just don't know what it's really like.
As far as the heat we've been catching from these chairborne ranger
types, I think it is for two reasons: first they are jealous of our
experiences, and that we get to actually use the guns that they beat-off
to nightly (pictures of the guns, because they aren't old enough to own
the real things). Second they don't understand the dangers we are faced
with every day, protecting their asses.
Back when I was working inventory loss prevention, we dealt mostly
against gang members and other assorted thugs. People don't realize the
sort of gear these guys are packing. Gone are the days of gangbangers
armed with chrome Lorcin .25s and tec 9s. A lot of these kids are sporting
Glocks in 10mm and .357, some USPs, Sigs, and an occasional Desert Eagle
in .50AE. Usually they are wearing at least level IIA concealible vests.
Long arms range from AKs to AR15s, the usual shotguns and some long-range
stuff. Ran into one with a Rem700p in 300 win-mag with a Leupold Mk4
sitting on top of it.
Some of these kids have been enlisting to get the military training and
they go AWOL and teach the other punks what they've learned, especially
CQB and MOUT. Hell, I've run into a share of amature 'gunsmiths.' One kid
had a SKS modified for FA and it was cut down to a Krinkov like-carbine
length with a folding stock. Another had Rem1100 modified to fire in FA
and modified to accept a 20rd drum from a USAS12.
Now that I work mainly in corporate security, you wouldn't believe the
gear these corp. espionage types use. Temp. controlled level IV suits to
beat the heat sensors, PVS14 goggles, MP5K-N PDWs with KAC cans, I could
go on and on about those guys...

Gecko45 and SPACECOP: I thought I had seen it all.....So while you guys
were telling your stories to each other, I walked to the house next door
to get some answers. I brought an HK91 along in a case, just to show it to
him.
Next door to me lives one of the owners of the mall giant
Westcor. They own most malls and shopping centers in Arizona, including
one at which there was a gang related shooting INSIDE the mall not too
long ago.
I explained why I was asking so many questions, and told him the jist
of this thread as it stood when I left my house. We discussed security,
and the arming of security guards. The guards at Westcor are hired by
Westcor. The are allowed to carry handcuffs and mace. The SENIOR shift
officer carries an auto pistol, he was not sure of caliber. He then
explained that there are no long guns allowed due to Westcor policy.
Especially not hidden under the seat of the golf cart.
I then aked him if "this would be allowed, either on the roof, or in
the docks, or anywhere on mall property?" I opened my 91 and I thought he
was going to shit in his pants. He could not believe that I thought any
such weapon would be allowed in a mall. I do not think he had ever seen
the "black rifle" before.
My point to you is, bow out gracefully, if such an exit is possible at
this point. You do not use .308 caliber weapons to guard a mall. No way,
no how. Sorry. Game over.

HK91 along in a case, just to show it to him.
Next door to me
lives one of the owners of the mall giant Westcor. They own most malls
and shopping centers in Arizona, including one at which there was a gang
related shooting INSIDE the mall not too long ago.
I explained why I was asking so many questions, and told him the jist
of this thread as it stood when I left my house. We discussed security,
and the arming of security guards. The guards at Westcor are hired by
Westcor. The are allowed to carry handcuffs and mace. The SENIOR shift
officer carries an auto pistol, he was not sure of caliber. He then
explained that there are no long guns allowed due to Westcor policy.
Especially not hidden under the seat of the golf cart.

Okaaaaay...When did I say I was located in Arizona, or hired by
Westcor? I'm not even technically employed by the mall I'm stationed at,
my orders come from "higher up", hint, hint. Sure, most regular overweight
mall security guards would not be armed, they would lose a Fullsize frame
handgun in the blubber on their waistline, why arm them? The elite,
however, have specail privilages, and I can assure you that my orders go
far-far enough that I could go around Kennedy airport yelling "Hi Jack!",
and that a simple phone call and codeword would have me released in 5
minutes, with my weapon, be what it may. As I said, my orders go far and
while my reasons for protecting this mall remain a matter of national
security, if the above does not convince you that I am employed in a
capacity that goes above and beyond halting shoplifters, nothing will.
BTW, My SW3(w/ 20 rd Thermold mag) will continue to accompany my
official actions out of the eyes of shoppers, as as long as I am so
assigned, and the fact that some Westdork security guard is scared of an
HK91 rifle is no proof that I do not use, carry, and train with
one.

Defii, don't even bother. This thread was originated and perpetuated by
renegades from the Cartoon Network. Your criticism, regardless of how
accurate or logical, only gives them more to feed off of. Of course you
are free to do as you choose, but I suggest we let GeekOPS talk into the
mirror to himself as much as he wants. That way the rest of us can return
to the reason we visit this board in the first place; to share information
and experiences concerning some of the finest firearms ever made.
GeekOPS, if you want to respond to this go right ahead. I could really
care less. The only reason I've replied again is to let real members who
make useful contributions to this board know that responding to your
mental masterbating is an utter waste of time.

You should know, you seem like the kind of guy that plays with your own
feces...
We have a name for guys like you in the 'industry': fecal-freaks. One
time I had to do an dynamic entry on the ladies bathroom, because some
freak had snuck in there and was trying to smear excrement on one of the
lady patrons.
You should have seen the look on his face when I pulled my Mark23 on
him, I think he made another little mess in his pants.

GEE, and all this time I thought the purpose of this board was to
harass and critize this Todd character.
Oh well, I'll let you get back to it.
In the mean time, remember who is looking out for you so you can live a
safe and productive life...

Originally posted by SPECOPS: Well, I did learn a lot from that
particular operator. I studied his tactics in depth. In a way you could
call him my mentor.
I enjoyed the seminar a lot, but didn't actually learn anything new
and unique. Those young SOCOM types just don't know what it's really
like.
As far as the heat we've been catching from these chairborne ranger
types, I think it is for two reasons: first they are jealous of our
experiences, and that we get to actually use the guns that they beat-off
to nightly (pictures of the guns, because they aren't old enough to own
the real things). Second they don't understand the dangers we are faced
with every day, protecting their asses.
Back when I was working inventory loss prevention, we dealt mostly
against gang members and other assorted thugs. People don't realize the
sort of gear these guys are packing. Gone are the days of gangbangers
armed with chrome Lorcin .25s and tec 9s. A lot of these kids are
sporting Glocks in 10mm and .357, some USPs, Sigs, and an occasional
Desert Eagle in .50AE. Usually they are wearing at least level IIA
concealible vests. Long arms range from AKs to AR15s, the usual shotguns
and some long-range stuff. Ran into one with a Rem700p in 300 win-mag
with a Leupold Mk4 sitting on top of it.
Some of these kids have been enlisting to get the military training
and they go AWOL and teach the other punks what they've learned,
especially CQB and MOUT. Hell, I've run into a share of amature
'gunsmiths.' One kid had a SKS modified for FA and it was cut down to a
Krinkov like-carbine length with a folding stock. Another had Rem1100
modified to fire in FA and modified to accept a 20rd drum from a USAS12.
Now that I work mainly in corporate security, you wouldn't believe
the gear these corp. espionage types use. Temp. controlled level IV
suits to beat the heat sensors, PVS14 goggles, MP5K-N PDWs with KAC
cans, I could go on and on about those guys...
I know what you mean. The Neo's are getting fierce around here, the
NeoNazis, they have just recently discovered the Grizzly Big Boar .50BMG
rifle, and since they must be getting funding from someone, perhaps that
well known surviving faction in E. Geermany, I can't confiscate their cut
down versions before they're right back with another one but fortunately,
since their MO is surpise and concealment, the fools don't bother to put
even a cheap Leapers scope on them, and that gives me that tacticla
advantage, and thgus far they have missed both time they shot the decoy
before confiscation could be initiated.
I have never had to deal with bolt action sniper rifles, these punk's
tastes run to Ack-Ack guns, and I have taken away 4 stens that they
probably stole from Grandaddy's closet, a Thompson hacked short on both
ends,a and more pistol-gripped AK clones than i care to count. These kids
want blood, and since they will have to go through me to shed any in my
mall, I am constantly doging near misses and ricochets, I have taken to
doubling up on my regular regimen on Body armor, as you probaly
knwo.
