Showtime is getting ready to launch a six-episode reality show called "Lock
'n Load". Yep, it's about guns and gun owners. According to the network's
website, Lock 'n Load offers a "fly on the wall experience at 'The
Shootist' gun store in Englewood, Colorado."

According to their material, "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 blasts echoing from the firing range down below."

The whole process will be done using hidden cameras and only revealed to
the participants after the transaction is complete.

"America," the promotional site says, "is and will probably always be
fascinated with the gun culture in our country and this show will help to
explain why."

OK, I'm interested, but I'm also skeptical. It may be unfair, but for some
reason, knowing that Showtime is owned by CBS doesn't assure me the show
"doesn't take sides or argue a political perspective."

But I do love the promos.

No word yet on when "LOCK 'N LOAD" will begin, but we'll keep you posted.

yah right. and HBO's Big Love was supposed to just be a story about a family and in no way an attack on any religion.

if the showtime series paints a positive image of guns and gun owners, I'll do a jig. I don't believe them for a second.

I have a feeling we are going to see 50 gallons of BS poured into a 5 gallon bucket. With the excess being flung at those of us who can read and comprehend 27 words in a clear sentence.

unfortunately I don't believe it will be non-sided and will not be biased.

The liberals feel they are non biased and feel they are doing us a favor showing off the 2nd right you have as a US citizen in small, hardly publicized showcases yet they feel they should proudly and freely blow their first amendment up everyones ass no matter what people think.

I have to agree with all of you. I expect that they will believe that they are presenting a totally un-biased show, but in reality, each episode will be more and more slanted against firearms.

I don't know guys, they have the Penn and Teller Bullshit show, and their show on gun control in perticular was heavily pro gun. And the rest of the series is heavily libertarian like.

Showtime isn't running this show though. Penn doesn't have to tow the Showtime line they don't need the Bullshit show at this time. Vegas will take care of them.

I wonder why the owner agreed to this?

So ya think it will be Bigger than Kate and John?????
