[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two types of people on this thread:

1. I work on film sets- It’s totally normal to take a gun from someone, point it at another human, and pull the trigger with no expectation that they might be harmed because….protocol.

And

2. Everyone else- WTAF[/quote]

You're reading a different thread, friend.  But it does sound like you should never try to get a job with extensive safety protocols.  It would be too nerve wracking for you.[/quote]

I’ve had weapons training and multiple deployments with plenty of protocols. These movie set protocols failed because they were crap to begin with.[/quote]

Almost none of the protocol was followed, so I don’t think you can blame protocols.[/quote]

Excuse me ma’am you’re clearly speaking to a Guns Guns Guns expert show some respect goddammit he needs this spotlight. [/quote]

I’m a woman, actually. I’m also not a guns, guns, guns expert. I’ve had enough weapons training to know that if you point a gun at someone without knowing for sure whether it’s loaded, and pull the trigger, you might accidentally kill them. That’s all. [/quote]

He didn't point the gun at anyone.  He pointed it at the camera. Either he has lousy aim or the gun didn't shoot straight.  He didn't violate your rules.[/quote]

Pointing a gun in the general area of someone is the same as pointing it at someone. [b]Go to any range and point a gun near, but not at, someone and see how the range master responds[/b]. [/quote]

This statement is completely true, but I think there's a disconnect here between gun safety for people who are firing/planning to fire live weapons and the safety standards for prop guns that are not supposed to have ammo in them, or ammo anywhere on set. We can argue all day long, but the truth is that the same safety standards that you have on a gun range have not applied on movie sets up to this point, period. I'd argue that they should and likely will if operable weapons are even allowed on sets anymore. There were obviously a lot of safety issues here regardless of what Baldwin did or not. I just heard this morning that live ammunition was found on set, which is a huge safety issue.[/quote]
