"Guns Under Fire" is scheduled for tomorrow night, October 14, at 10:00 p.m. ET on The Learning Channel. It was produced by CBS News.
A little history. Several months ago I was contacted by the show's producer, Sarah Safer, who wanted me to put her in touch with a victim who fought back with a firearm. I gave her Ann Barry's name and telephone number, and Safer contacted Barry. A CBS crew flew from New York to Barry's Kentucky home and filmed a re-enactment of her story: two armed burlgars axed down her door and she met them with a .357 Magnum. In the gun battle that followed, Barry disabled one burglar and routed the second one. The re-enactment even had the lead detective (who is very pro-gun) document his investigation into the case. This story is to be aired on the show tomorrow night.
I have no idea whether the rest of the show will be anti-gun or pro-gun (you guess), but I did talk with Sarah Safer on a couple of occasions, and related my concern about the mainstream media's continuing negative coverage of gun issues. She stated that she was doing all she could to make this documentary fair.
