    Pretty balanced view of "gun nuts" in America. Some poor gun handling and some very funny anecdotes. Very funny when Josh convinces one of his customers to tase his buddy.

    I am a professional consultant who currently does not own a gun. After watching Lock & Load I went target shooting and found I really shooting & am good at it. I noww want to take gun owner safety class & purchase my own firearm. Bad guys will always find a way of obtaining a gun through illegal means..... Bad guys do not like going into homes where people have guns. They are on a power trip looking for vulnerable people.… Expand

    I had a lot of fun iwht this show. Josh Ryan seems like a hell-of-a guy. Very down to earth. Makes me want to go out and buy a gun. And shoot it! Wish I had a range round these parts.

    This show is very annoying. As a second amendment supporter, gun owner and nra member I am embarrassed by the way business is conducted in this gun shop. Much of this so called reality show is obviously staged and scripted. The main character or should I say actor is careless and simply looking to make a name for himself. I have purchased firearms in many shops in Pennsylvania and Virginia and it is always done professionally and you never see dealers laying out multiple weapons and letting children play with the guns. If this is how shooters conducts business then they should be shut down. This show makes law abiding gun owners (mostly professional, intelligent people) seem like careless idiots. I truly hope that showtime does not pick up this reality series. Especially since there is absolutely nothing REAL about it!… Expand

    Lock 'n Load treats Wayne and many fellow customers as curiosities, and occasionally smacks of condescension. (The "Amazing Grace'' sequence, in particular, crosses a line.) But the series also takes pains to avoid making judgments, and offers a parade of gun owners so vast that we end up with a broad view.

    NRA enthusiasts might be the target audience for this reality show about a Colorado gun shop, but Lock manages to have mainstream appeal, thanks to its focus on the store's quirky customers (a shank-holding old lady, a gun-loving pastor, etc.).

    Ryan prompts the patrons to talk, but the stories don't really develop into much; and although the arms-buying demographic is indeed wider than one who has not spent much time in a gun store might imagine, their reasons for buying tend to be variations on the same few themes: I was robbed; I don't want to be robbed; guns are fun to collect and shoot.
