You ever ask
yourself this question?
Why so many "Ladies" are armorers on film sets? It seems
like an easy gig. Just secure the fire-arms. Make sure you only carry
dummy-rounds, and for any reason you keep track of where and who that
gun is being passed to. Because once that happens, only then the
problem of somebody loading a real round becomes higher.
