Alec Baldwin 'Rust' Head Gun Handler Had Doubts About Experience Level: New On The Job
TMZ ^ | 10/23/2021 | Staff

The woman responsible for handling weapons on the set of Alec Baldwin's "Rust" had only recently taken on a gig as a head armorer, and shared she had real doubts about doing the job.

Hannah Reed -- daughter of Hollywood armorer Thell Reed -- appeared on the "Voices of the West" podcast last month to talk about her new experiences in the biz. Reed told the hosts she had just wrapped a western movie with Nic Cage called "The Old Way" ... and it was her first time as head armorer on a movie.

In a now-eerie confession, Reed says of the Cage job, "You know, I was really nervous about it at first, and I almost didn't take the job because I wasn't sure if I was ready ... but, doing it, like, it went really smoothly."

In talking about her training, Reed told the podcast hosts loading blanks in prop guns was "the scariest" thing to her, because she didn't know how to do it ... but it was something her dad had helped her work through.

She didn’t point the gun at another person. Baldwin did. She didn’t pull the trigger. He did. Alex Baldwin needs to take responsibility.

I have a dumb question: Why were there any live rounds on a movie set?

Not a dumb question at all. It's THE question. I have a feeling though that this investigation will not go very far. Baldwin is a liberal icon to the media because he hates Trump and conservatives. He'll get a pass and some lower level flunky in the chain of custody of the gun will get a hefty fine, and that will be the end of it.

That’s sad. And now someone is dead.

The client likewise has a private record @hannah.twerks.to_blastbeats on a similar stage, where she depicts herself as a globally distributed model, movie producer, and college alumni. In addition, she can likewise be found on Twitter as @CorpseCosmic and TikTok as @cosmiccorpse.

John Schneider did a very good interview about gun safety on sets. Its on Youtube. Alec Baldwin disregarded just about every rule in the business according to Schneider.

That doesn’t fit into my normal understanding of the word “armorer.”

And the assistant director who handed the loaded gun to Baldwin worked on the sequel to the Crow...
