What kind of ignorant moron takes somebody’s word that a firearm is unloaded and “safe” without checking for himself when it is handed to him, then proceeds to point it at someone and pull the trigger?
Oh yeah, an ignorant, liberal moron like Alec Baldwin
So much stupidity and negligence in this incident to know where to begin.
And these Hollywood idiots are idolized by Commie democrat zombies nationwide.
It's not the actors job or responsibility, as stated by Rockinbbar above...and he worked on filming sets.
Which is what I think happened to the actor in 1984(heal 44 mag with blanks to his head screwing around, and fractured his skull and died)....along with the Jason Lee incident with a blank shot at his stomach, but shards of blank plastic entered his stomach as a projectile...6 hours of surgery later he died at 28 years old.
John Erik Hexum was dicking around with a .44 Magnum loaded with blanks, and put the barrel to his temple and pulled the trigger.
Instant dead.
Brandon Lee was killed on the set because they were filming a closeup of the gun, supposedly using dummy rounds to look like live ammo.... They did the closeup of the gun firing dummy rounds, then loaded the gun with blanks and did the scene that killed him.
The "dummy rounds" used had a live primer... And when they pulled the trigger, the primer pushed the bullet into the barrel. Once the blanks were loaded for the scene, it was fired, and the pressure from the blank shot the bullet out, just as if it had been real live ammo.
Armourer was at fault for not checking the gun, as well as having a live primer in the dummy rounds.
"then proceeds to point it at someone and pull the trigger?"
I too would like to hear why He pointed the gun at someone while pulling the trigger, "blanks" or not. There could be a legit reason (in the movie making world), and no doubt if there isn't, one will be found.

Yes I understood the 1st incident with Hexum, but wasn't aware of the Lee details...thanks for explaining.

Actually it’s the job of everyone who is handed a firearm by someone else

It would make a teeny tiny bit more sense of the person he shot was another actor while filming a scene, but an assistant director or crew member???

Actually, no...actors are not nor claim to be weapons experts, they have a Pro on site for that very important job and responsibility.
My guess is that most actors have become complacent to any type of firearm safety due to the fact that it was someone else’s job. I am sure that is about to change.

The “pro” or “authority” should be required to demonstrate to the person he’s handing the firearm to that it is safe.

I think gun safety used to be worse in the movies than it is now.
I know several actors got pretty good at twirling sixguns while on the set of movies and TV shows. All that down time in costume and nothing to do, but play with the guns.
Sammy Davis Jr. turned out to be one that got really, really good with a gun. He was a national competitor on the fast draw competitions. He was really good.

Meaning, open the action and visually show the novice that it is empty or loaded with blank ammo

A guess Union set up To cause another mess on the set before they all left. Told the new girl these are ready to go. She trusted Union shut down production as they wanted.
Nope. She placed three guns on a table for the scene and declared them all “cold”. The assistant director took one of them and gave it to Baldwin and told him it was “cold”.
That's a problem, big problem.
Not the AD's job .
Never take life to seriously, after all ,no one gets out of it alive.
