[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it is normal on movie sets to point guns at people and pull the trigger, I think that needs to change. It's not a safe practice.  [/quote]

So ... you've never seen a movie.  [/quote]

I have confidence that they can figure out how to have guns in movies without pointing them at cast and crew.  [/quote]

There are literally cast and crew surrounding the actors in a 360 degree production to get good angles, filming, and lighting on all side. You could point a gun behind you and hit someone.

The problem is someone brought live ammunition on set and someone else was too stupid to be handling a gun in the first place.

Usually Hollywood films, and only union films are allowed in California (notice this one was filmed in New Mexico), has two armourers on set. The Armourer loads the weapon and checks it. Then Head Armourer re-checks the magazine and ensures its say.

For some reason only known to the production team, of which Alec was lead Producer, they hired a 24-year-old who couldn't tell a blank from a live.

And that cost a woman her life.[/quote]
