American Guns TV Show

Discovery will be premiering a new gun store reality show entitled American Guns. The show revolves around the family who own the Gunsmoke gun shop in Denver, Colorado.

From the press release

The Wyatts are your typical suburban family… who just happened to own one of the premiere firearms facilities in the world. Rich Wyatt and his wife Renee own Gunsmoke, located outside Denver, Colorado, where they buy, sell and trade guns – from hand canons to hunting rifles. And if you don’t see what you want, they’ll build one for you – from nothing more than a block of metal. Gunsmoke has the largest and most experienced group of gunsmiths in the state. When the Wyatts aren’t building or selling guns, they’re shooting them. No gun leaves their shop without being test fired by the family first. They – and the one-of-a-kind and historic guns they make and sell – are featured in the all-new series AMERICAN GUNS, premiering Monday, October 10th at 10PM ET/PT.

The Wyatt family takes their guns very seriously. For 18 years they have owned Gunsmoke, turning the small business into a firearms enterprise. Rich is a master firearms trainer and former police officer with more than 22 years experience in law enforcement. He is one of only six people in the world certified by Colonel Jeff Cooper, a master firearms instructor and one of the 20th century’s foremost experts on the use and history of small arms. And Rich is an extremely talented gunsmith. Give him a block of steel and he’ll create art.

It sounds like the guns covered will be quite different from Discovery’s Sons of Guns. It will feature more traditional/historic guns rather than tacti-cool firearms.

      @kragman I have one question. Would any self respecting firearm safety instructor fill glass objects with flammable liquids, insert a lit fuse and shoot them so they blow up? Kids don't try this at home. And by the way IMO Rich wouldn't make a pimple on a Texas Rangers ass
