You are not familiar at all with how a movie set works, are you?

If industry standards are followed, the actor isn't finger fuucking the gun to "check" it, and, even if it was a rare actor/actress with a clue, dummy ammo looks like live ammo, so often "checking" would just show you that SOMETHING is in the firearm.

Baldwin had a single-action revolver. It wasn't his job to "check" it, there are multiple safety layers built into industry standard processes.

The fact that these amateur hour idiots obviously were not following industry standards is gonna result in a person or persons being liable, but if Baldwin is on that list, it'll be as a producer who hired the idiots, not as the actor who pulled the trigger.



No I am not, but I am familiar with how life works and how to deal with firearms. I guess you believe that people should not be responsible for their own actions


I'd likely think that way if I was from Minnesota too.


So, tell me how the actor checks the gun when dummy rounds are used in the scene? Be specific.
