Pawn Stars show.

That is cool getting to talk with Antwon. He is cool. Did you see the other night when the guy started getting loud with Rick and next thing you know Antwon was half way down there and Rick told him it was OK and he went back to the door. If I was going to steal something there I would deff find another door to make my get away.

 

[TanklessPro]

Not sure if there are anymore doors but I wouldn't want to use any door that Antwon was guarding if I was stealing.
I don't understand them not having a FFL for all firearms. I wonderif they have some agreement with LGS not to have one?

We seen that one about three weeks ago I believe but I can't help you with the gun. The old man is something but chumlee is my boy! He makes the show to us.

 

[SquareBeer]

He's sticking to the script and the show's premise, which is not based in reality (because it's tv and it's not real) that's the point of the visiting experts - because it's the History Channel.

Well it probably is like most "reality" TV shows now. It was real but then deal done and money given to the party to do the show and the later is the taped version of course.

I have heard him refer a number of times to a law that only permits him to deal in pre-1898 firearms. I don't know if this is a state or local law, or only applies to pawn shops.

 

[newfalguy101]

I would suppose he means that without an FFL he is NOT permitted to deal in anything except antique guns, which do NOT require an FFL

 

[Carl N. Brown]

In some jurisdictions, the local gun law requirements for a pawnshop are more restrictive than the requirements for a regular gun shop or sporting goods store. I suspect, being Las Vegas, a pawnshop that handles modern firearms is viewed as shady. The 1968 Gun Control Act that established 1898 as the cut-off for antique guns, was predicated on prejudice against pawnshops, among with other assumptions about guns and crime.

Around here, pawnshops that deal in guns have to deal in a lot of guns to make a profit. So if a pawnshop wants to deal in general collectibles, antiques and art, and don't want to become a gun shop that handles pawns on the side, they might simply not want to get into handling modern firearms.

You've just been looking for an excuse to post pictures of your hot wife, haven't you?

I always look for AK 74 threads to pop up and then I can share pictures of my Girlfriend shooting my Tantal.

Rick explained that in one episode.... just said he doesn't want to deal with all the paperwork and have the ATF up his *** all the time.

You should totally join me and Forumsurfer on Carolina Shooters Club

Quality forum.



Also, I like the show. I usually learn something new when I watch it. It's typically useless knowledge, but still nice.

.

Did you see the one last night where they go to the range to shoot the shotgun and he owner has to shoot it. He missed first, then hits it. They dont buy the gun.


The range seems to be miles long. It's huge.
.

The range is actually in Pahrump in Nye County called Lone Wolf. Don't ask me why they drive an hour away since there are numerous outdoor ranges around here.

 

[Tango57]

Rick has written a book. In it, he explains alot of the things you guys are asking.

And you managed to find one didn't you?

Pawn Stars is a fun show to watch as long as you keep in mind that the show is scripted. Most of the main characters are somewhat likable with one exception. The producers need to script and set up otherwise they would probably have to tape for a year to get enough “good stuff” for one show.

The other pawn shop show, the one from Detroit, is kind of scary. I don’t know who are more unlikeable the shop owners or the customers. I’ve watched this show a few times and really don’t recommend it. Pawn Stars is an enjoyable show, the other show isn’t.

 

[Fishslayer]

Yeah, I am lucky she loves shooting and supports my firearm addiction 100%.

AHA! that explains much. My first thought was "Wow! She's WAY too hot for HIM. Now I understand. You must have a really great gun collection.

 

[CharlieDeltaJuliet]

LOL, she loves me for my guns... She is great. Thanks guys, you all really made her day.

 

[CharlieDeltaJuliet]

I had to atleast upload a photo of her I took a few weeks ago when we were going out to dinner.....She is was out of my league. I guess I just lucked up. Sorry dont mean to hijack the thread. I am trying to find some more photos from their shop. They had some really cool antique weapons. Seriously though, if you like the show and make it out that way. GO see them, you will love it. They really are nice guys too... too bad I didnt get to see Peaches thou....

You know you're bigtime when you have your own internet meme. Pawnstars has several.

These are a couple of my favorites. I use them all the time.





As for an FFL my guess is it's a PITA and they just don't want to deal with it.

 

[CharlieDeltaJuliet]

Roflmao

 

[eye5600]

I wonder how much the experts get paid for their walk-in appearances?

 

[CharlieDeltaJuliet]

Not sure but I know that at one point atleast Rick was making 10k per episode. This was a long time ago too. So with the show being such a hit, I hope they make their cut too.

 

[scallop]

My wife and I went to Vegas in Sept. of 2011, stood in line for about 45 mins outside in 105 degree beating sun trying to get in while they were filming. Gave up before we made it to the door, was really bummed. Ended up going back later and checking the shop out, was really cool to see some of the items from the show. Did not get to see any of the guys though which sucked. I have heard that they run ads looking for people with rare/interesting items. Good entertainment as far as I am concerned.

 

[bluethunder1962]

Dude you just keep saying the wrong things. You are on your honeymoon with a hot babe like that and you are bumed about not seeing Peaches? I am going to get a fight started before this is over. You know I don't live far from you. I can bring my gun colection up there in no time......We don;t care where the pictures were taken just pictures of her are ok. Just kidding glad you are having fun with my post.

I'd bet the experts don't get a dime for their appearance. They do get free publicity with their name and business name. That kind of pub is worth more than a small appearance fee.

The unions that run movies & TV have some pretty strict rules about pay, etc. I'm sure they get paid something.

I'd love to see what the gun manyfacturers do trying to get their products a place on Top Shot.

Even if the pay is just a small amount, though, the kind of $$$ that can be generated by being associated with a hit show is huge. People are gonna want to see the guy with the funny hat's museum, the gun shop that appraises antiques, etc.

According to urban legend Spielberg originally wanted ET to get hooked on M&Ms. Somebody at M&M said "no" so Reese's Pieces it was. Wonder if that guy ever found another job?
