More bad news from the armourer. She had an actor new to the set firing blanks at a hill the first time they met.

“I’ve got a 6 a.m. call tomorrow to have a big shoot-out. They had me pick my gun … The armorer was like, ‘Do you have gun experience?’ I was like, ‘A little,’” Ackles told the crowd.

“She was like, ‘This is how you load it, check it’s safe. Do you want it hip-drawn or cross-drawn? I’ll just put some blanks in there and just fire a couple of rounds towards the hill.’

“I walk out and she’s like, ‘Just make sure you pull the hammer all the way back and aim at your target,’ I was like ‘All right, I got it.’”

This isn’t a discussion that serves to inform. It’s just a bunch of people ignorant of the topic having their groupthink carefully curated and reinforced.

Pointless.

DP. I mean, what does your Navy Seal background have to do with acting? Do you have any relevant experience to add? Or just arrogant irrelevancies?

Why do you keep claiming pp is a Navy SEAL?

Dp- read the thread.

I’m the PP and didn’t say I was a Navy SEAL. I said I took gun training from a retired Navy SEAL. Perhaps YOU should read the thread

Alec’s Baldwin, a producer on this film, may well bear liability however.

Thank you. The actor never inspects the fire arm. That’s crazy talk.

Then an actor should never touch a firearm.

PP, it may be that in the future there are better gun safety protocols and less gun use on set. I hope so.

But that is a different thing than stating what the rules/protocols are currently. If it is not the norm for actors to have anything to do with checking safety, and to rely on those that are hired to do so, then there is no culpabiltiy here for AB. What you think SHOULD be, is very different from what actually is.

Exactly, why would they rely on actors to know enough about a gun to check it?

Why wouldn’t an actor take on the personal responsibility of knowing that he/she is handling a dangerous weapon and learn?

For heavens sake just like any job there are protocols and people are assigned to various tasks. That is not the actors job, nor are they going to go through training for that.

For the AB hater. Did he steal your parking space or something because you are way over the top.

I don’t GAF if it’s AB. You are dealing with a dangerous weapon, not freaking coffee or breakfast

Do you know anything personally about those industry protocols? Do you enjoy getting your ridiculous ass handed to you repeatedly? (You scream NO I KNOW IT ALL FROM MY MAN CAVE IN BURKE YOU GOT DETAILS WRONG I WIN. Go ahead. This is clearly your time to shine.)

LOL. I am the PP and very much a woman. I don’t hate AB and feel he’s suffered greatly. I’m simply saying when handling a dangerous weapon, you trust no one but yourself

Different people need different things when they're grieving. Your criticism of his grief is uncalled for.

Still blows my mind.

May you never experience loss.

I have, unfortunately. And that’s exactly why I am surprised.

It’s really surprising to you that not everyone grieves the exact way you did?

So you would have a meal with the person that accidentally shot your spouse dead? I’ll wait.

Maybe. You’ll have to ask me when that happens. But I’m sure as hell not going to expect anyone to act any certain way after the loss of a loved one.
Glad you didn’t have to wait long for a reply.

Waiting for what? For you to STFU? We all are.

Hey, look at who cares? Wait, is it no one? Oh, that’s correct.

And yet, you keep commenting. Odd.
