Buckeye Firearms Association participates in filming of FX reality show

30 Days segment, filmed in Ohio, airs tonight

The reality show 30 Days, produced by Morgan Spurlock of 'Super Size Me' fame, was filmed in Ohio last August and early September. The segment is titled, 'Gun Nation'.

Pia Lalli, a staunch opponent of gun ownership for anyone outside of law enforcement or the military, will live with hunter and gun collector Ken Ekermeyer and his son in Leesburg, Ohio, on ’30 Days.’

30 Days derives the name from the show's premise of taking someone out of their normal environment and placing them into an opposite situation. In this case, the show takes an anti-gun vegetarian and places her into an environment where guns are an every day occurrence. The subject is Pia Lalli. Lalli is currently living in Brockton, MA. A schizophrenic man with a gun killed her friend. After that, Lalli became involved in the gun control movement working for stricter gun laws. She believes gun ownership should be limited to law enforcement and the military.

Lalli's host is Ken Ekermeyer who lives in rural Highland County. Ken is a firearms enthusiast. His rural lifestyle places Lalli far away from her city based vegetarian lifestyle. During the period Ekermeyer, who escorted her to various ranges and shooting functions, introduces Lalli to firearms.
