Didn’t this happen in New Mexico? I didn’t think they were filming in California.
Your right they were on location in NM not in the studios in LA. NM has similar laws to Cali when it comes to homicides. The protocols for weapons are industry standards. Do people really think that high school drop outs which most actors are should be tasked with opening up firearms and then second guessing professional armors who in most cases have decades of experience in law enforcement or military backgrounds. These are to be second guessed by someone who barely knows how to hold a gun? Seriously that makes any sense at all. Fortunately the industry said that’s nuts we will hire professionals for that very reason. This armor if she can prove that live rounds were mixed in with blanks from the factory or distributor might have a case for dismissal of negligence. The director apparently did his job he ensured the weapons were untouched from the armor to the actors possession
