S.A.F.E. For Film

S.A.F.E. is a program that was developed after the incident on the production of the movie “Rust”. This was an incident that did not need to happen and certainly should not have happened. Sadly, one person lost their life, another was injured, and many other lives will be affected as well.

After the incident, which was shocking, we at ZRANGE began to research all the events that led to this incident. As a Certified Instructor USCCA, NRA and USLS, we were surprised at the lack of both formal training and independent certification that is required to become an entertainment armorer. It was then we developed and established the S.A.F.E. training program (Screen Actors Firearm Education). This training program is to prevent any such incident from ever happening again, to provide the actor(s) with proper training with respect to all firearms and firearm safety. This training program is based on safety training with USCCA, NRA and USLS firearm programs as well as law enforcement training.

Cam Oliver the Senior Firearms Instructor with ZRANGE will personally train with those actor(s) in this program. Cam has fifty years of experience in handling various firearms, thirty years of carrying firearms both in law enforcement and as a private citizen. He is a State of Nevada Certified Concealed Carry Weapons Instructor (CCW), Las Vegas Metro Police Department Certified CCW Instructor, Certified USCCA Carry & Home Defense Instructor, Certified USCCA Women’s Handgun & Self-Defense Instructor, Certified USCCA Range Safety Officer, Certified NRA Handgun Instructor, Certified NRA Rifle Instructor, Certified A.C.E. Instructor, Former Law Enforcement Officer (L.E.O.) State of Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Member of the Society of American Fight Directors.

ZRANGE currently offers a program called “Shooting Stars”, this program is especially for those celebrities and business executives who are seeking to achieve Nevada CCW (Concealed Carry Weapon) permit certification. We do this with complete discretion due to Cam’s years of experience working with celebrities as well as high-profile business executives.

Please Note:

The S.A.F.E. training program does not have a set price and will vary based on various parameters, such as a number of actor(s), types of firearms, location, travel, pre-production, or production. Specific information will be required to provide a proper quote of our time and services.
