Steven Segal... ha-ha.

There's a video somewhere on the Net that was taken at the Bogota store/factory. The owner non-chalantly shoots an assistant from several feet away. Looks like great fun.

Hola!

They filmed that business in BOG on the GlobeTrekker TV show last year in April and showed them shooting the guy!

I was there when they filmed in CTG and said Hi to Megan mcCormick at the Castille wearing my Colombian football jersey!

Yeah Ive seen that show with the shooting. I actually think the lady who does the reporting is good value - was watching her last night in fact.

Segal is the glimmerman - greatest action hero of all time!!!
