Dumb-Ass Lazy TV Script Writers; Gun Edition

So I'm watching Monday's episode of Longmire, a show set in a fictional county in Wyoming. In this episode of the show, there is at least two mentions of handgun registration. A deputy mentions that a suspect has an unregistered .38 revolver.

Except handguns aren't registered in Wyoming.

How hard would have been for those idiots to check that out?

I imagine that you know what the problem is: The scriptwriters are a bunch of Californians and, since handguns are registered there, those lazy fools think that is the way it is everywhere else.

  1. Also in that episode, the young construction worker that came out to yell at Longmire and lady deputy, something along the line of "even if it's the police the foreman doesn't like…(something or other)".

    The director and the actor clearly had never worked a day of their lives in any kind of factory or construction setting. The actor pronounced foreman as "fore-man", like two words. Anyone who's ever worked in that environment pronounces it as "forman", almost one syllable, as in George Foreman grill.

    Morons.

    I like the show, though.

  2. uh, I thought Cali only had voluntary registration of hand guns? Not required unless you have a carry permit.

    1. It's kind of de facto, as I understand it. You can only buy handguns through a licensed dealer, even for private-party sales. If you move into the state, you have to register handguns. So unless a gun has been in your family since before 1968, they're going to know.
