Yes. The original use of zombies on the gun forums dates back to the early 90s and the discussion of lethal force in self defense. The admins of many boards were very cautious to be mentioning and discussing the taking of a human life, even in self defense. This was right after the Clinton AWB and during the time when shall issue concealed carry was gaining popularity among states. In order to have the freedom to discuss lethal self defense without being poster boys for the anti gun crowd to showcase, we collectively use the term "zombie" to represent the criminal in question; ie "if you're walking your dog at night and a zombie jumps out of the bushes demanding money at knifepoint, what do you do?" kind of stuff. We knew what it represented but anyone not "in the know" figured we were goofing around and it didn't raise eyebrows of Internet censors.
That's how the zombie thing on gun forums started.
I'm an FFL/gunsmith, not the holster company. We specialize in subsonic ammunition and wholesale rifles.
