Rep. Sheryl Cole has filed House Bill 1471, which would require any film or television project that accepts state incentive funds to require anyone handing a gun to complete the state’s Hunter Education course.
AUSTIN, Texas — The tragic shooting death on the set of the western film “Rust” has led an Austin lawmaker to file a bill requiring firearms training for certain films and movies that intend to use guns.
The District Attorney in Santa Fe County is expected to file two counts of involuntary manslaughter against Alec Baldwin, who has roles as both actor and producer on “Rust.” Charges also will be filed against the film’s armorer. Production on the film continues with on-set safety supervisors and no firearms.
Most sets have multiple layers of accountability to avoid safety incidents, firearm or otherwise, Armer said. A lot of it is self-regulated by the industry. Those are the extra layers of caution that can minimize a potential on-set tragedy like Rust, Armer said. The biggest mistake on the “Rust” set was that they had live rounds on set, allegedly for target shooting when actors were not filming scenes.
