[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This will probably go the same way the John Landis/Twilight Zone Movie trial went.  They’ll be charged but found not guilty. [/quote]

I wonder if he'll plead a lesser charge, say reckless endangerment, which is apt. Hard to see how the armorer isn't guilty af.[/quote]

He pointed a loaded gun at a woman and pulled the trigger. If there are any responsible gun owners on the jury, he's screwed. [/quote]

He pointed an unloaded gun that some idiot loaded. They need to charge the person that loaded the gun.[/quote]

No gun owner is going to buy the 'I didn't know it was loaded' excuse.[/quote]

Yes they will. Responsible training classes are in a classroom. All guns are not loaded, and ammo is not allowed in the room.

If somebody loaded the gun while a trainee was not looking and the trainee shot it, the person who brought ammo into the room and loaded it would be responsible for reckless endangerment not the person shooting the gun.[/quote]

No. Part of the training would be to never point a gun (loaded or not) at another person. Further, it is always incumbent on the person holding a gun to verify whether it is loaded or not.

My understanding is that the proper movie set protocol is for the armorer to verify that a gun is not loaded, and then open the gun and show it to the actor so they can verify that it is not loaded. Neither was done in this case. Both the armorer and the actor that accepted the gun were negligent. [/quote]
