TV Show bias on Guns: CBS’s FBI Most Wanted shows a concealed handgun permit holders doing more harm than benefit


Television show bias against guns is never-ending. Except for a couple of episodes on Paramount’s Yellowstone, you won’t see an entertainment television show with a civilian successfully using a gun defensively. Instead, something always seems to go wrong when guns are used defensively (from being fatally shot by the criminal without stopping the crime to getting in the way of police to continually having the gun stolen and use in a crime to it being used in an accidental shooting).

In a recent episode of FBI Most Wanted. Season 4 Episode 7 “Karma” (November 22, 2022). there is a scene where a criminal is seen bashing a person’s head with a rock in Central Park. When confronted, he shoots at the person who confronts him. This person is a concealed carry citizen who shoots back. The FBI agent characterizes the permit holder as a “Vigilante.” The permit holder is insulted and reminded that Central Park is a No Guns zone, and told that he almost killed a woman bystander who he accidentally shot. The FBI agent then roughs up the permit holder and complains that people like him make law enforcement’s job much more difficult. All in all a very biased representation of defensive gun use.
