      That's what I thought too 😂 I mean, from the untrained eye I guess it looks like a real gun but I'm sure it would have the description on the box somewhere saying it's a paintball gun.

      Those are mostly air rifles. They shoot BBs or Pellets. They arent real firearms. Most of the real firearms in the store are in glass cases or behind the counter. Occassionally they will have a rack of used rifles/shotguns on the floor in the firearms area.

    The best bass pro shop is in Springfield Missouri. It’s got everything in it. Plus a museum of all things American hunters/outdoorsmen would enjoy. And a huge aquarium.

    Next time you’re in the area check out the Bass Pro in downtown Memphis Tennessee. It’s inside of a pyramid building and has a small lake with real boats, an aquarium, glass elevator up to an observation deck with a glass floor, a bowling alley and restaurant. It’s pretty special.

    Perhaps when you get back to Scotland, you could do a fishing video or three. When I was much younger,I remember reading of people from US going to Scotland to fish for Salmon and then playing a few rounds of golf. Maybe you could share what fish you have there and maybe how you cook them. Or do you catch and release?

    I had to giggle. Yes, the dead animals are real. I wondered if you’d mention the guns but you can’t walk out with one. You have to have a license and background check. You are in Texas so they are available. So you know, Bass Pro owns Cabela’s and they are about the same. 🎉❤😅 great video.

      As a foreign national on a tourist visa he'd have to have a state issued hunting license and fill out a 4473 answering yes to being a non-immigrant alien and have a specific exemption for coming to the USA specifically to hunt, in order to purchase a firearm.
      That said, Shaun could easily find a fan who is perfectly willing to take him shooting for an afternoon and won't even charge him for the ammo. :D

I recently saw the Bass Pro in Dania Beach, FL. I was fascinated by the gigantic saltwater lures. Being landlocked where I am, I don’t get to see those types of lures that are 2 to 3 feet long. 😂. I could only imagine what one of those could catch. Ha!

    Hooray Shaun, I've been waiting for you to visit one of these Bass Pro Shops. That one does not look nearly as good as the one we have here in Tacoma, Washington or the Cabela's (same company, nearly identical stores) we have in Lacey, Washington. I love going into the store and just spending a few hours looking at all of the new gear. The one in Tacoma has a bowling alley and restaurant. Also a large selection of boats. (That's why I actually go there) It is a marvelous place. My children still like to go there and they are young adults now. ♥

She is one of the most loving people i have ever met but one day we were walking and she said "daddy, i love animals" i thought uh oh but then she finished by saying "i like animals because they are made of meat and i love meat" lmao but she also says "only hunt the bad ones daddy" lol it will be a sad day when she realizes there aren't many bad animals out there aside from us and a select few.

    Now you have a bit of an insight as to why we are very conscious and vocal when it comes to gun issues. NOT every gun is a machine gun, as the media would like people to believe. The gun / hunting / outdoor hobby is very varied and multi faceted. More so then people are led to believe.

      We (those who are against guns) aren't all whacks! Why exactly do you need an A/R 15? They were not made for hunting. I felt Shaun being uncomfortable around the guns. They aren't allowed in Scotland. According to John's Hopkins, there were 48,832 deaths by gun in 2021, which isn't counting accidental shootings and obviously unknown shootings in the USA because of the 2nd Amendment.
      In Scotland there was a total of 41 for same time period. FOURTY-ONE!
      Guns are not necessary!

      Even as someone who is very interested in gun control as a topic, Bass Pro is very good about the way they conduct business. Honestly I think most liberal politicians don't see (or possibly ignore) the practical uses for guns, while most conservative politicians don't see (or possibly ignore) the problems with them.

    If you like fishing, there are plenty of places in the US where you can go charter fishing - these are small businesses that will take you out on a boat for the day. I’ve done it a couple of times from Gloucester, Massachusetts with a few friends. They took us 30 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean and we caught lots of pollock and cod (Gloucester is near Cape Cod, which got that name for obvious reasons), plus we saw a few whales while we were out there. I’d recommend giving it a try; you’d enjoy it.
