[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Set member tells

 that Alec Baldwin was rehearsing a church scene with the cinematographer when he drew the gun and said something like 'is this what you want?' and then pulled the trigger. Director was standing behind her[/quote]

I thought we read above that rubber guns are used during rehearsals?

Seems like (perhaps,this is hearsay) that rules were not being followed [b]AND he though it was funny to joke with a gun.[/b]

From what all of the professionals have posted, even prop guns are supposed to be tightly controlled.

So, I blame who ever had MANAGEMENT authority (on scence, not back at the studio) over the set.

It probably did not help that they were not working with unionized crew (who would be more aware of their rights/required precautions). [/quote]

That's not how I read it.  I thought the director maybe said he wanted a quick, shoot from the hip look, and Baldwin said "Is this what you want" drawing the gun and doing a quick shot.  Honestly -- think about how many scenes there were exactly like that in Deadwood with the quick pull and shoot off the hip.  Of course he had no idea of knowing that there was live round, and the director and cinematographer were behind plexiglass.  He probably didn't even think there was a blank in the gun, as it sounds like they weren't shooting with blanks.  Pulling the trigger on an onloaded six-shooter would not be a big deal at all--just a click and nothing else.  It's just outrageous that the gun was loaded, and frankly less suprising that his first response was to yell who the hell gave me a loaded gun?  He probably yelled that before he even realized he'd hit anyone with it.  
Sound more like the gun guy wanted to play with the props during the break -- maybe it was a cool historical model and he wanted to see how it shot and how good his aim would be with it -- and forgot that he left live rounds in the gun.[/quote]

Point taken, that is a logical interpretation of his alleged comment. [/quote]
