Beware the Mall Ninja

For his black pajamasBDUs provide concealment that allow him to strike at any moment. But mostly he only strikes on the internet or at firearms events.

Mall Ninjas are something like the Mary Sues of the firearms community. They lay claim to a vast stores of experience, none of which they can actually demonstrate. At one time it was easy to spot them. Most Mall Ninjas are in their early to middle twenties and, for a while there, you just couldn't be a war vet (or have their breadth of "experience") and be their age. Now you generally have to rely on someone who has been there and done that to pick out someone who hasn't.
