“An Unscripted Show, Made For Television, That Goes Beyond The Scope Of Firearms”
Open Arms mission is to promote positive firearms awareness and educate responsible gun owners through our message: Safety, Family, and the 2nd Amendment.
This unscripted non-sequential television series stars one of America’s most passionate gun safety advocates, Brian Lockerman.
Based in Lake Havasu, AZ, Open Arms is a refreshing show designed to captivate audiences through dramatic re-enactments and real-life stories as it strips away the fear and negative associations of gun ownership. The show encourages honest communication as it peeks into the lives of people who have through trials, tragedies, and various reasons chosen to become first-time gun owners.
Open Arms will be a series like non-other and will create a dynamic paradigm shift in the way many people think about gun ownership. We just might even win over the entire nation and regain the respect for our Founding Fathers, the 2nd Amendment in The Bill of Rights, and a renewed appreciation for the U.S. Constitution.
Open Arms collaborative partner Walk The Talk America, a non-profit, believes that by improving the quality and availability of mental health resources to gun owners we can reduce tragedies by gun use. Together we will help save lives worldwide.
