[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ it wasn’t Baldwin at fault.  It was the employee that gave him a loaded gun telling him it was a cold gun(clear of ammo).  That’s the one negligent.[/quote]

It’s the responsibility of the person holding the gun to make sure it is not loaded. Period. [/quote]

So what is the weapons person’s job or should the actor micro manage every aspect of the shoot?[/quote]

It’s the responsibility of any person handling a gun to make sure it’s not loaded. That’s not micro managing and has nothing to do with any other part of the shoot. Its the first rule of holding a weapon. If someone handed you a gun and says it’s not loaded wouldn’t you check before pointing it at someone?[/quote]

I'm so curious about this.  I absolutely agree with you when it comes to hunting, target shooting, etc. [b] But I would think the "rules" are different in an acting environment.[/b]  The gun is a prop, a dangerous one, but a prop nonetheless.  As I mentioned before, I can't imagine that every actor who has used a gun checks it first.  (And honestly, I wouldn't even expect them to know how.  I don't.)  This seems knowable though.  There has to be a standard practice in the industry...and nothing I've seen in my casual following of this story has indicated that actors normally do what you are saying.[/quote]

That’s the first problem. Rules should NOT be different[/quote]
