truTV debuts 'Combat Pawn,' a reality show set at Fort Bragg pawn shop

The "Hardcore Pawn" spinoff show set at Fort Bragg has its debut tonight on truTV.

"Combat Pawn" (during production the show was referred to as "Hardcore Pawn: Fort Bragg") is set in the Guns Plus store on Bragg Blvd., a pawn shop specializing in guns and other military items.

According to truTV, Guns Plus is staffed mostly by military veterans, including an ex-Marine and a Special Ops soldier who have firsthand knowledge of rare and collectible weapons. The store is frequented by soldiers and their families and friends, so the military vibe will be strong.
