Hopefully, chum will be off the air for a while as he spends some time in the gray bar Hilton. ---

> [@muldoonthief](#): > > True. In terms of him holding and firing a real gun on camera, I assume it gets down to the definition of “possess” and “transfer” under the GCA of 1968. If the legal owner of a gun temporarily hands it to a prohibited person, to use while under the owner’s observation, after which it is immediately given back to the lawful owner, is that a violation? I suspect not, but don’t know if there’s a firm ATF ruling on that. Shooting a gun at a range is not equivalent to possession. I’m also guessing that there are plenty of actors who use guns on camera who are prohibited from possession. Having said that, I don’t know the details of all federal and state laws. I also suspect Chumlee has a conviction in his past that precludes gun ownership (an offense punishable by more than 12 months jail time). It could also be a throw-shit-at-the-wall charge, since he was caught with meth. Habitual drug use is a disqualifier in itself. ---

Apparently, and I have no cite for this, but the producers of the show trawl ebay for obscure items and contact the sellers and try and convince them to come on the show. ---

> [@Loach](#): > > Rick originally shopped the idea as a more gritty real life version of the pawn shop as shown on Insomniac. The network liked the setting but wanted a more friendly show. So they moved it to the day shift and took the emphasis away from the type of characters who need to sell a watch at 3am in Vegas. Rick has claimed it is the only way around. Hopefully this will help Cholmondeley get his act together. ---

Sometimes, I would wonder “How did that wind up in Las Vegas?” Yep, I had some items on enay, they contacted me, I flew to Vegas and then they took pictures of the item, had me arrive to meet Rick the dick, he stood me up and I ended up selling everything to Bret Maley at his gallery instead of dealing with the fools on Pawn Stars.
