The man, the legend,...Gecko45,...the original "mall ninja"

[Suck My Glock]

It has been 20 years since Gecko45 has vanished from GlockTalk.com and it occurs to me that we have an entire generation who has grown up not knowing about him.

For you youngins who wonder where the term Mall Ninja came from, gather round and listen to the story of a frustrated urban commando from the early days of gun forums,....

Now, if only you could recover more modern day Ranger1, along with his other pseudonyms, that would be some real fun, encompassing much more than Mall tactics.

Yeah, I always thought Ranger1, 1969gto and all the other screen names he used on here and the other Arizona gun forums could have been related to great mall protector--Gecko45.

OMG, I forgot about that "operator".

Thanks for posting this, I forgot how much fun we used to have on the old board(s).

When I used to frequent Glocktalk years ago, that was the topic of the day, what did the mall ninja do this time? Now that I'm assembling my own stuff, and my own "glock armorer", I don't go there much, but it's a great resource for the beginner Glocker.


Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

I’m proud to be a 2nd degree Ninjutsu trained by the man himself. I haven’t get a chance to defend any Mayor’s nephews yet but I have a fair share of battle with the ruffians from Arizona Mill Malls in Tempe

:shock:

That was a good read. The wife kept looking over at me as I randomly laughed out loud. I want to meet a real mall ninja some day, like a real one like Gecko45. Read the bullshit for years then actually go see how they live their life.

SPECOPS reply on page 18 still makes me laugh, Gaston Glock, Orange Julius perp. Amazed the mods let it run as long as it did. Was sorry to see it end

I was there when that came out. Ah Glocktalk, that used to be the place to be. Had a bunch of AZ folk on the classifieds too and got several deals there.

 

[xerts1191]

Yeah I had dropped out of it for a long time and re upped last year, a lot of the characters from the past are gone unfortunately, still a few old timers on there. My favorite new character is Von Hayes.
