'Rust' Armorer Said the 'Best Part' of Her Job Was Showing People 'How Safe' Guns Can Be'

Gutierrez-Reed spoke about gun safety on a podcast.

“I think the best part about my job is just showing people who are normally kind of freaked out by guns how safe they can be and how they’re not really problematic unless put in the wrong hands,” Reed said on “Voices of the West” podcast.

In that podcast, she also described loading blanks into prop guns.

“You have to like look at the front of it and determine which one is the blank, if it’s dummied up. That’s how I tell at least,” she explained. “Every movie I’m learning new and new things — it’s all very quick.”

NBC News described her as a “former model.” She “took the spent casing out” after the Baldwin shooting and gave the prop gun in question to investigators, according to NBC.

“I used to do modeling a bit, and then I decided modeling didn’t really have any sustenance and people didn’t really see you for anything more than face value, so I decided to get more into this line of work,” she said in the podcast.

going to be on the hook for this. The script supervisor who witnessed the shooting is being represented by Gloria Allred. I wonder what she saw.

If your job is to check the gun and make sure it is safe before you hand it off to the actor or director, why didn't she check the gun amd make sure it was safe?

aim the gun at the person who says it's safe and pull the trigger to "prove" it's safe. YMMV
