Maybe the article doesn't provide enough info, but I feel sorry for this girl. Can you imagine being young in your career, and someone says: "Hey, you're in charge of the guns.". You don't know what you're doing. You don't know you're supposed to have safety meetings. You get a box of "blanks" from someone. It contains a live round. You don't even know what a blank looks like. Someone dies, and everyone's like "You should have known!". That's at least how this situation sounds. This girl is taking the fall for alot of bad decisions up the chain.

As a counterpoint; if you are being the armorer on a movie set and don't know those things, then you should quit before something horrible happens.

Right, except she’s worked as an armorer before.

Don’t take a safety critical job if you lack the experience to do it correctly.

She is in charge of all ammunition on set. How did she allow live rounds on set? Did she lack the authority to ban target practice with live rounds, or did she make fatal assumptions about how others would store the live ammo that’s her responsibility?
