A few years ago,I helped one of my friends do a film,for his university project and he specifically asked me-because I had a collection of blank-firing guns and I could get more.So I wore a shoulder-holster-under my jumper,that contained a Umarex licensed replica of a Walther PPK.Now after playing my part-as one of the persons,who were harrased by the psycho-I forgot to take off my holster(including the gun,with it) and pack it away in my holdall and to lock the gun up,in my pistol carrying-case.My friend took a Colt Python replica and another kid took a Glock 17.
We managed to get through several rounds of ammo-in magazines and loose bullets.What a noise we made in the woods,by firing them.We all wore ear plugs,so our hearing wasn't damaged-but we did scare the crap out of this kid who accidently stumbled across a whacko,wearing a balaclava,combats and a tactical vest. We explained that it was a student-film and he was okay with it and went away.
We ended up carrying our guns in our holsters out of the woods,into Bexley Village,past two unsuspecting coppers and back to my friends house.He decided that we should go out for a drink locally-and so we went into one of the local bars and ordered drinks from the bartender-still with our guns holstered.Because it was a hard and stressful day for us,we simply forgot to remove them.I still laugh at the fact,we walked past two cops with them holstered in shoulder and belt holsters.But the thing was we couldn't feel the bulk,because we were filming in winter and wore thick jumpers and jackets.
My friend got an A* for his film and was grateful for my acting experiance and my collection of guns as well.He is pro-gun by the way-I fully-converted him.
Working on a film set,is harder than most people think.We did have a crew with us as well.These were student or trainee operators,cameramen,sound guys,etc.
