A new bill would require film workers in New Mexico to pass a hunter safety course if firearms are present on set
In an interview, Pirtle said the proposal is a simple step to ensure job site safety.. “They don’t know the difference between properly handling the firearm and improperly doing so.”
The state does have a course that is mandatory for any hunters younger than 18. The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish oversees the course, which deals with safe gun handling as well as basic hunting and shooting skills. A 100-page workbook that accompanies the course includes sections on the behavior and anatomy of wild mammals and fowl and provides tips on where to aim .“It’s a course that is really all about beginners,” he said.
Scott Rasmussen, a veteran film armorer based in Albuquerque, said that he passed the hunter education course when he was young, and that it is not relevant to the film industry. He also said that any training requirement should apply only to armorers — not to the entire crew.
