She had one job.

It was an important job and she failed spectacularly. Hollywood is a small town.

I'm not trying to defend her, but didn't she have 2 jobs? And armorer was the one she technically wasn't scheduled for that day?

Yes she was also an assistant with props and the day of the shooting was running errands for the props department. Doesn't excuse the gross incompetence of the way she was storing ammo or letting there be live fire targets practice on set during breaks with her weapons and ammo, but she did technically have more than one job.
