Hannah Gutierrez-Reed says her safety requests were overruled, and furthermore that she was not allowed on the set at the time of the shooting incident because of Covid restrictions. What could she have done under those circumstances, other than walk off the job as others had done?
It only takes a second to load a live shell and put it in the right position. And I am absolutely sure that Baldwin would know how to do that.
IIRC, Hannah said she loaded 5 shells....the empty one being in the firing chamber.
Lock up the guns.
Only allow them out when she is present.
She’s the armorer. She loaded the firearms. It is up to her to make sure that there are no live rounds in her armory (or that they are kept separate from the dummy rounds), and to retain control of the loaded weapons until they are distributed. She didn’t need to be on the set to do this.
