Lock n' Load : A reality TV show about a gun shop starts today
Updated: January 9th, 2013
Lock n’ Load premiers today on Showtime at 8pm ET/PT today (Wednesday). The idea behind the show is hidden cameras placed around a gun store and shooting range.
It is being advertised on the Huff Post … so be warned, it could be very very bad.
Thanks to Sven for alerting me to it.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

I've watched some of this "Lock 'n Load" (Showtime version) and it is not authentic and is in fact a "fraud" in every aspect. I did some research on the "star" of the show - this Josh - and he's a STAGE ACTOR from LA. He does not own the store and he is NOT a gun salesman (that evident from his presentations to the customers). He is NOT a shooter either - witness the way he not only handles firearms (muzzles pointing at the customers and all kinds of other taboos like off-color/anti-gun "jokes") and note the way he way he "holds" a shotgun or rifle - he's a fraud of the first order. The show is a thinly-veiled attempt at an ANTI-GUN platform... So very disappointing... I thought for a second that we were going to get an intellectual approach to gun-buying/shooting/personal protection/pro Second Amendment, but instead we got a poorly scripted joke laugh-track with an annoying "actor" that leaves you tearing your hair out... Poor, poor, poor!
I don't watch TV at all, but from what I read I don't think there's much hope of any TV show providing an intellectual approach to anything.
