Ahaha, just saw a clip of it on The Soup. Old lady pulls out a ton of knives, says her husband is her third, the other two died.
Punchline:
"Don't get the wrong idea, her first 2 husbands died accidentally. They forgot to carry guns."

After the range portion of a CC class I was sitting across the table from 2 good looking lady students and having a bit of a "chat" with them. Our lead instructor said something to everyone there and I didn't hear him and kept on "chatting".... he finally got annoyed and loudly asked me, by name, to shut up. And I turned to him and said:

Knowing a gun shop owner personally, and spending a lot of time in said shop, I can definitely relate to this show. There really are all types of people that come in there, and a lot of them that you'd never expect. We're constantly telling stories to each other about the various, cool, weird, funny, attractive, odd, and crazy people we meet. Making a TV show about it seems like a great idea!
Hopefully it'll be good and not too detrimental to the image of gun owners in general.

The "lead character" in the span of two episodes (the only two I've seen) told two different customers that "you don't have to aim" a shotgun in a home defense situation. During another interaction, he "settled" the 9mm vs. .45 debate by dramatically placing a pair of silly-looking sneakers on the counter and saying "a .45 ACP will blow someone right out of these." Hmmmm... perhaps if it's a +P load and the target is an anorexic midget... that doesn't know how to tie their laces...
It's still a cool show and it brings home the camaraderie that shooters have, and necessity of being armed, and how just plain fun time at the range can be.

The Brady Campaign is going to have a mad cow over this series.
"See? Look at all the crazy people that go in these stores to buy guns. Do you really want these people to be armed?"
Aside from the normalization of guns, which is a positive, this show is going to be ammunition for their propaganda campaign.

Did you see the 11/7 episode? The asshat actually pointed a pistol at the front door and when a customer walked in he yells "Freeze". That could (should) have ended very badly for him in a couple different ways: Jail time or a dirt nap.

I suppose it's possible that they are butt heads of their own accord, but I do find it to be a stretch that gun shop owners and employees act this way without being instructed and paid to...
They say everyone has their price.
Total speculation. But it makes sense.

You have to remember the guy's also trying to make a sale, and probably not to someone who actually knows a thing or two about weapons. For instance, the gun shop I go to near Ft Bragg sells most of it's stock to military (duh) and anyone who has been in the service knows that just because someone's in the military doesn't make them a gun person. Just before I left for this deployment I stopped in to ask the owners about transfering and storing guns that I might buy through gunbroker.com during the deployment. After establishing that I was more than just some private looking to get a shotgun or random pistol because it's cool the guy became much more personable. I BSed with him about piston-operated ARs, he told me what his group buddies prefered, yada yada yada. Anywho, in the hour or so I was in there BSing with the guy I watched three different privates come in and ask about weapons for self defense, and I watched the guy use his best used car salesman speeches all three times convincing them to get some of the most expensive weapons he had on hand.
The point is, a gun seller might be a gun guy who is completely normal when talking to one of us, but he's also a salesman trying to profit off of the ignorant and is going to use a bit of theatrics to make the sale.

I saw a show that was tremendous for our cause. I think it was called 30 days.
They sent an anti gun chick (she had a friend killed by guns) to live with a single father and his 14 y/o son for a month.
He had the best attitude I have evar seen about guns. He was a great example to his son, and her as well. They had her work in a gun store too!
She was a bit of a stereotypical bleeding heart, but I had to give her a ton of credit for going though all of the things like shooting skeet and more. She was so upset she cried for 1/2 the show. It was a great portrayal, and ended with her having a great understanding of our position. Somewhat entertaining as well.
