So what happens when a pro-gun control gal from Massachusetts is sent to hunker down with a family of firearms fanatics in Ohio for 30 Days?
“I have no idea what to expect,� said Brockton dance instructor Pia Lalli, who signed up for a stint on “30 Days,� Morgan Spurlock’s FX series. “My mother said, ‘Oh, those poor people. After a month with you, they’ll run screaming from their own house!’ �
Lalli, 39, told the Track she became passionate about gun control after a friend, a San Diego therapist, was killed by a patient in her office a decade ago.
“I think guns should be completely outlawed and the Second Amendment should be changed,� sniped Pia, who was targeted by the “30 Days� producers after answering an ad on craigslist.org. “The only people who should carry guns are soldiers and police officers. And that’s it.�
She should be pretty welcome in all the Midwest rod ’n’ gun clubs, don’t cha think????
“Actually, I think I was chosen because of my personal story but also because I said I didn’t mind learning how to use a gun, take target practice or go to NRA meetings,� said the anti-gun violence Brady Campaign supporter. “I’m not closed off to hearing the other point of view. I just don’t have to agree with it!�
Before Lalli sets off for the pistol-packin’ red state, a “30 Days� crew will be in town this weekend to shoot some footage of Pia teaching her “Hip Hop Fun Shop� class at the Weymouth Club (she also works at Boston’s SportsClub/LA) and other day in the life scenes.
