LOCK 'N LOAD is a six-part reality series offering viewers a fly on the wall experience at "The Shootist" gun store in Englewood, Colorado. Salesman Josh T. Ryan is always in full-on pitch mode and for every gun sold by this expert gunslinger at this family-owned store, there's a fascinating story and a fascinating buyer.
LOCK 'N LOAD doesn't take sides or argue a political perspective. Instead, viewers on both sides of the issue will be able to watch Ryan, a born salesman, wield his patented quick-draw humor and inherent likeability in each exchange, making jokes and big-ticket deals over the blasts echoing from the firing range down below. And all is done before hidden cameras which will only be revealed after the transaction is completed in order to insure a particularly candid and compelling point of view. America is and will probably always be fascinated with the gun culture in our country and this show will help to explain why.
Their promo seems to be doing a decent job of that so far...I bet they're going to make gun owners look like idiots.
Well, I should give them a fair trial before I hang them , but the history of the media on this issue has been abysmal...No date yet, but they claim not to take sides.

"Negative waves Moriarty, negative waves!"
I just hope they dont show "billy-bob" with 3 teeth talking about his gun collection and shooting his dinner.
Hopefully they will show people with high morals and intellect. Also, I hope they focus in on all of the crimes guns have prevented.
lock n load was on last weekend with R Lee Ermy as host. It was about cannons and artillery.
It was pretty good. With Ermy as host, it'll stay good.
He's definitely one of my heroes...I love R Lee.

I asked someone in the business of producing such shows (quite successfully - his firm has had shows on several of the name brand cable networks) about this. He explained that since the Disney buyout, ESPN has had a strict policy that no sporting events involving the use of handguns may be covered by that network.I wish we could get ESPN to cover some shooting sports competitions!
thats what i thought this thread was going to be about. the one with R Lee Ermey is on right now on the history ch.
I have a feeling this is going to turn out bad. Normal transactions aren't going to make it to the big screen. The odd ones are.
When they want "the other side" of the gun issue, they seem to drive off the map until they hear banjos (no offense to banjo players everywhere ) and grab someone who lives in the middle of nowhere...
Yeah, good point. Its always "we are going to compare Mr. New York City high power lawyer to redneck hick man from Tennessee with more guns than teeth in his mouth."
