Get Ready to Lock and Load

truTV is about to take a very different look at the pawn business in this all-new series! Go behind the scenes at Guns Plus, a unique pawn store in Fort Bragg, NC that specializes in weapons and military-inspired collectables.

I just saw this advertised on TruTV and thought I'd post about it, but it looks like I'm a little behind on the times! I think that this may be an interesting show if they don't do the show like they do hardcore pawn or have them rip off customers like in American guns.

 

[Kedric]

I have the first one set to record. It will really depend on how they do it as to if I continue watching it or not.

 

[Six Shooter Steve]

Thanks for the heads up Ted, set the DVR to record

 

[jeepfreek]

Set to record! Thanks!

Can't stand anything on truTv, there's nothing "tru" about the shows.. So fake and scripted it's ridiculous

 

[indytechnerd]

Saw the preview and will say without question, this looks stupid as hell. It gets a pass.

This.

The very first scene proves that these guys are a bunch of dildos.

 

[Rookie]

Well, I watched the first show. It was full of sheer stupidity.

 

[Darkstar]

I just watched it too, I have to say that I was pretty disappointed. I was actually hoping this show might be more about guns than drama, but it seems that it might end up being another hardcore pawn.

 

[Colt556]

I only saw the last 10 mins of it. Not very impressed by what I saw.

 

[TopDog]

I will pass.

Why is it everyone of these "Reality" TV shows that centers around guns have to have a cast of douchebags?

 

[Kedric]

I haven't watched it yet... but this is sounding very disappointing, to say the least.

My guess would be that it is because a "normal" person in their right mind wouldn't want to be followed by cameras on a daily basis. I've only caught an episode or two of the show where the guy uses his wife and daughter as sales tools and I stopped watching Will and his crew of clowns a long time ago. The people that want to be involved in shows like that are usually doing it for the attention (good or bad) that it brings to fulfill an ego trip.

Don't you know it's all part of the mediocracy conspiracy to make gun people look like unstable d-bags in order to influence the sheeple to fear us and run to them for advice and protection?

That and I'm betting the money is a big part getting people to perform like circus monkeys.

Funny, but these shows certainly are not doing anything but painting a negative picture of gun enthusiasts. Wish I knew someone that had no experience with the "gun world" so I could ask what kind of impressions they were drawing off these shows.

Anybody have any idea what these guys get paid to be on the show? The cast of Pawn Stars, American Pickers, Cajun Pawn Stars, etc? In some ways, the cast act as if they are rolling in money and others, they don't.

 

[Htrailblazer]

There was so much fail in the first 10mins. tactical store openings with ARs???? obviously scripted fight over a ****ty shotgun??? that was enough for me I will not be watching.

 

[Rookie]

Don't forget the armed body guards with the guy in the wheel chair.
