Guntucky is a new reality television show that follows the Sumner family who run Kentucky's famous Knob Creek Gun Range - running the business as 'just average believers in the Second Amendment.'
Airing right on CMT, Knob Creek has been open since 1963 - the firing range was the brainchild of Biff Sunmner Sr. who bought land on the edge of Fort Knox Army Base, 20 miles south of Louisville so he and friends could fire their machine guns in safe seclusion.
That business has grown to accommodate tens of thousands of annual visitors all willing to pay the $10 entry fee, $5 for children under 12, because in the words of Sumner's son Steven, 'Everybody likes to see something blow up.'
Guntucky was due to premier in January, but its airing was postponed in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting in Connecticut in December which saw 20 six-year old students lose their lives.
