Are you all that surprised when the head armourer is 24 and never worked professionally before? Honestly she probably didn't even know she SHOULD be securing the set ammunition.
Obviously this is a case of malpratice but I'm curious if she'll be charged with negligent homicide.
That shocks me. When I heard about that, I always assumed that it would be retired military or police instructors.
Her father had 40+ years in film production experience as a weapons expert and armourer. He got her the job.
Nepotism. Just want to say, her being 24 isn't an issue. Someone with 5 years in the military may have lots of experience handling weapons and would have been perfectly qualified for the job. The issue is her lack of training and experience. Her dad obviously didn't actually train her.

“I’ve got a 6 a.m. call tomorrow to have a big shoot-out. They had me pick my gun … The armorer was like, ‘Do you have gun experience?’ I was like, ‘A little,’” Ackles told the crowd.
“She was like, ‘This is how you load it, check it’s safe. Do you want it hip-drawn or cross-drawn? I’ll just put some blanks in there and just fire a couple of rounds towards the hill.’
“I walk out and she’s like, ‘Just make sure you pull the hammer all the way back and aim at your target,’ I was like ‘All right, I got it.’”
I don't know that I see the issue here.
I'm not saying the armorer gets off, but this situation, as described, doesn't seem like a problem.

The more we learn, the more it becomes apparent that everyone involved did everything wrong at every stage. It would have been a miracle had they completed the filming without incident.

I'm still shocked that they use real guns on these sets. I always thought, as liberal as Hollywood is, that they would ban them. Use fake ones if necessary.
They use real explosions, blowing up real planes, cars, buildings, etc. They also use real guns.
It’s time to ban guns on movie sets. In this day and age, we have the technology to make a scene look realistic.

Different people need different things when they're grieving. Your criticism of his grief is uncalled for.
Still blows my mind.
May you never experience loss.
I have, unfortunately. And that’s exactly why I am surprised.
It’s really surprising to you that not everyone grieves the exact way you did?
So you would have a meal with the person that accidentally shot your spouse dead? I’ll wait.
A reasonable person knows it wasn't ABs fault. The husband has also stated he knows it wasn't his fault as well. Seriously you have some issues and should deal with those. The news is already blaming the AD and the armorer. I would hate to see you on a jury because you lack critical thinking.
