I kind of felt sorry for Hanna. She was one of the first women armorers for a film with established actors.
Hanna is the daughter of Thell Reed, who is a very well known armorer in Hollywood. I guess she got careless and a little bit lazy on that movie set, so Hanna does have her share of the blame to answer for.
“I guess she got careless and a little bit lazy”
She was a doofus putting everyone at the set in danger.
Hanna should never have been in that line of work.
‘Rust’ armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed once gave unchecked gun to 11-year-old actor: report
“Gutierrez-Reed’s alleged misstep happened on the set of the upcoming Nicholas Cage film, “The Old Way” and temporarily halted filming, sources told The Daily Beast.
“She was reloading the gun on the ground, where there were pebbles and stuff,” one source told the outlet. “We didn’t see her check it, we didn’t know if something got in the barrel or not.”
Gutierrez-Reed reportedly handed the gun to child actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong, forcing concerned crew members to intervene, the report said. The gun was then checked for barrel obstruction, according to the sources.
“She was a bit careless with the guns, waving it around every now and again,” a source said.
“There were a couple times she was loading the blanks and doing it in a fashion that we thought was unsafe.”
A “Rust” production source described Reed as “inexperienced and green,” to the outlet, adding that there had been two other incidents of accidental discharges by crew members.”

I didn’t know that she’s Thell Reed’s daughter. I had heard of Mr. Reed, but didn’t connect the names.
The most recent issue of Shooting Times has a feature on Thell Reed, who was an exhibition shooter before becoming a movie armorer, and who still holds the U.S. fast draw record.
