Montana locals protest Daily Wire’s pro-ICE film shoot over staged shooting scene

Locals in Livingston, Montana, are protesting a new Daily Wire film production working under the title Pawn Shop. The project comes from Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire and Dallas Sonnier’s Bonfire Legend.

The objections concern disruption to local businesses and the alleged use of blank gunshots, pyrotechnics and a staged car crash during filming.

Residents have also objected to what appears to be a dramatization of the shooting of Renée Good. The source does not provide further details about the scene or an official response from the filmmakers.

Pawn Shop’s pro-ICE premise

The film is described as a production supporting ICE, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. The source does not identify a release date, cast or filming schedule.

The protests are taking place amid reported disruptions to businesses in Livingston caused by the production. No further decisions or consequences are reported.
