It would be interesting to know why they chose to use the footage of me in the show. It could have been because they thought it was cool, or it was the best of what had after editing. Or it could have been because the producer (Margaret) digs me. Or it could have been because they wanted to reinforce a stereotype about gun owners being fat, out of shape slobs.

I don't have any problems with the guy they chose to host Pia for the month. I thin he did a fine job of representing our point of view, and I would suggest that those who felt otherwise may wish to consider their own prejudices about other gun owners. In addition, having her work the whole time at the high-end gun shop did show another type of gun owner (th eguy who owned the shop).

Too bad they didn't show the part where Pia was looking at me and said, "Break me off a piece o' THAT!" when she was admiring me and perhaps fantasizing a little.
