"guns don't kill people, bullets do"...

When I first moved to Los Alamos, the armed Protective Force there had just built a new gun range which included a course for training in "live battle" (think SWAT).   They had elaborate protocols using blank ammunition in place to prevent live-fire accidents, but within the first couple of years, one of the guards ended up shooting his best friend (also a guard) by accident.    I never learned the details of how this happened, but obviously one or more live rounds made it into the shooters weapon.

They shut those exercises down, at least for a few years... they may be back to those.

If that context, and the movie set context can't achieve zero-defect safety why would any bunch of yahoos running around playing cop/army with their expensive toys be any safer on average?

Too many loaded guns in NM.

Are you coming here Jochen?  We used to meet at St John's College coffee shop.  There are many excellent places to have breakfast here.  I recommend Saveur.

    Today in the morning Santa Fe was in the news on TV. They reported
    that Actor Alec Baldwin has accidentally shot a camera woman,
    because the gun used for acting was fully loaded. It is rare that
    Santa Fe is mentioned here in the news

    Where do you go for breakfast for normal FRIAM meetings (not
    virtual ones)? What are the best coffeeshops and cafes in Santa Fe?
