Just watched "The Valley of Elah" with Tommy Lee Jones he goes into a gun store on the outside it is fictitious but on the inside it looks just like The Shooters Den in Albuquerque on San Mateo. In "Obeserve and Report" in the scene where Seth Rogen and the twin security guards are shooting a 500 S&W and a Steyr Aug at an indoor range, that range is Caliber's which is the range I use for my gun reviews and training. It is on Holly in Albuquerque. So what gun shops do you recognize from TV or movies?

It's too bad that the general public thinks that gunstores have the "secret room" in the back full of rockets, miniguns, etc. as shown in Commando and The Boondock Saints...

What they don't?:cuss:

That explains why the secret password just got a raised brow at the local shop.........:uhoh:

There's one local pawn shop that wouldn't surprise me if they did, they just kind of have that vibe. Between that and their high prices I almost never go in there to even look around.

The Boondock Saints was in Boston. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure that wasn't a secret room behind a gun store. I think it was just an illegal arms dealer's place of buisiness. Last time I checked you can't own a firearm in Boston but that movie was made in 1992 so the laws could have been different then.

[THE DARK KNIGHT]

You can own a firearm in Boston, there's just so many hoops to jump through that no one does.....

Also the place in Commando was not a gun shop, it was a surplus store.

The Bullet Hole in Belleville, NJ was on the Onion once.

EDIT: What the????

The shop must have complained. The video seems to have been edited and the sign now says "Camin's Guns and Ammo"

Here's an unedited version:

My impression when watching Boondock Saints wasn't at all that they were in some "back room" in a gun shop. Watching the movie, it seemed to me that they were at some illegal arms dealer.

Dude, it's movies. Fiction. People don't really think Star Wars happened.

The uneducated masses get their gun information from somewhere.

[Nate1778]

Whats next, you guys going to tell me that pistols don't have an unlimited ammo supply? Or bad guys may be able to shoot accurately.

[THE DARK KNIGHT]

The force is not strong with this one.

None of mine, but my elementary school was in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, and my middle school was blown up in Telefon.

What, you mean all pawn shops don't have an S&M dungeon in the basement?

[Mags]

So uh... anybody else's local shop been caught on a TV show or movie?

[Chuck Warner]

.....That range and gunshop was Tina's in Santa Fe:)

[Acera]

THE DARK KNIGHT, the outside of your store was in that Onion clip, but the inside was somewhere else.

The clip where the guy is holding the rifle with the sales man behind the counter is at Jim Pruetts Guns and Ammo just outside Houston. BTW Jim is the sales man in the picture.

Knob Creek was on Mail Call. I am sure it has made a couple other shows as well. Its more than a gun shop though, it Mecca.........

Yeah, the inside of the Bullet Hole is a dump. There's no mistaking it for any other shop, I assure you :-D

Now that's funny right there - I don't care who you are! :D

I was there when they filmed that episode, the Gunny is just as hardcore in real life as in the show. :)

Nate beat me to it, Knob Creek.

Tina's Range Gear was also used as the gun shop seen in the movie No Country For Old Men

Wish they had used the Outdoorsman, it's a much better gun shop IMO.

[Chuck Warner]

She's interesting.

[earlthegoat2]

I think Boondock Saints was made in 1996 and released in 1999.

Back to topic....

[JWF III]

One of the local shops I used to frequent before it closed was often used for "In the Heat of the Night". The owner/smith did all the gun-work for the show (and also personal work for Carrol O'Conner, he owned a gorgeous Python at the time).

I think Boondock Saints was made in 1996 and released in 1999.

And the new one will be released in three weeks on November 1st. Sure to see some more of the great gun scenes in this one also.

The Morrison's True Value hardware store in Alpine, TX is the just about the only storefront gunshop in Brewster County.

Robert James Waller, who also wrote "Bridges of Madison County" set his novel "Border Music" partly in Alpine, and used actual places in Alpine as locales- the True Value being one of them.

The True Value is more like a old fashioned pre-wally world department store than a hardware store.

Tina's Range Gear was also used as the gun shop seen in the movie No Country For Old Men

I was just gonna say that! haha

+1 to Outdoorsman...I only stopped in there once on vacation, but they were definitely good people, and extremely knowledgeable.
