Nugent sticks to his gun on VH1 set

A pistol-packing Ted Nugent startled a VH1 film crew member.

Gun enthusiast Ted Nugent won a showdown with a VH1 film crew assistant director the other day.

Nugent, in town for the filming of VH1's "Supergroup" reality show, walked onto the set early this week exercising his right to bear arms.

The startled assistant director asked the rocker to remove the holstered firearm from the active set, citing safety concerns.

Nugent, 57, stuck to his guns (gun), and the AD has not been seen on the set since, I'm told.

Reached at VH1 in New York on Friday, spokeswoman Michelle Clark said Nugent "has a license to be a firearm carrier no matter where he might be. I'm sure he wasn't waving it around."

Nugent and four other veteran rockers wrap up their 12-day taping, most of it at the Parisian Palace, with a concert Sunday at the Empire Ballroom, 3765 Las Vegas Blvd. South.

Joining Nugent on the reality show is Sebastian Bach of Skid Row; drummer Jason Bonham, son of Led Zeppelin legend John Bonham; Scott Ian of Anthrax; and Evan Seinfeld of Biohazard.

Go Ted.

Nuge!

I'm sorry, but the Nuge rocks. I wish I could have his energy level and confidence in the face of idiots. But he's always been a little more contentious than I prefer to be, anyway.

This was in NYC? Is he a reserve LEO somewhere? I didn't think NY state granted non-resident permits,let alone NYC but I guess everything changes when you have $$$.

 

[CZ-100]

I wish I could have a permit to carry anywhere....

 

[Correia]

Ted Nugent and Scott Ian in the same group? I'm there.

 

[Clandestine]

I believe that Ted is a reserve LEO. Ive seen him flash his badge before so maybe he is using HR218?

Three cheers for the Nuge. I do kind of wonder what happened to the poor little assistant director.

When will we get the message across that it is the presence of that firearm that makes you safer! :banghead:

 

[DHFirearms]

Ya sometimes he gets out there, but you gotta love Nugent. He doesn't waiver for anyone!

 

[f4t9r]

Hes a little different then most but you gotta like him , hes big pro gun.
His show was pretty cool to watch.

 

[perpster]

OH MY GOD HE'S GOT A GUN !!!!!!

RUN

HIDE

CALL THE POLICE


Hmmm. VH1? I could understand that reaction from an MTV crew but would think VH1 would be a bit more...mature?!

Ted Nugent for President

Can someone get him a note telling him he could win?

(rockin out) "Cat scratch fever..."

 

[PlayboyPenguin]

The director had the right to be afraid. We all know how about the dozens of people Nug has shot in the many years he has been carrying.

 

[George S.]

Not only did he stand up for his rights, it looks like the assistant director got his butt kicked to the curb for complaining.

 

[Shotgun12]

When I was younger, I was a fan of most of Ted's music, and also maybe due to his being a fellow 'Michigunner', I can't help but like his down-to-earth, common sense, "Constitutional - American" ideals.
If he were to make a run for governor .... and won, I believe I'd be movin' back up, sooner than planned. Maybe he'd be able to help turn the state back over to the "good citizens", so that it could be the good place to live .... it once was.
Doesn't hurt to dream.

 

[Lupinus]

go uncle ted

seriously, you can't not love Nuge

as for the cop questions he is a sheriff deputy, wonder how many guns he carries we don't see

 

[panzermk2]

TEDs not over board for me. He's the man.
In the 70's I was a fan of his music.
In and after the 80's I became a fan of the MAN and his life style.
What he believes in I believe in.

GOD, GUNS, GUTS, RONALD REAGAN and COUNTRY

I like his brand of rock and roll and his politics. I recently read his book; "God, guns and rock & roll." and really enjoyed it. If he ever makes it to New Mexico (or within reasonable driving distance of Albuquerque) I'll make a point of going to see him.

 

[cbsbyte]

I am not a fan of Nugent. Though, I do applaude him sticking to his guns over the issue..

The 'Nuge is a complete and utter whackjob, but it's nice to have at least one whackjob on our side.
