Alec Baldwin Shooting

[Spongebob]

I also don't totally agree that guns are not complicated. It depends on the gun you're talking about and the experience level of the person holding it. My wife has never fired a gun in her life and wouldn't know which end to hold. I basically forced my two daughters to go shooting with me but they are still novices. But what if the script called for a military style weapon? That's way more complicated than a handgun. And in some cases even in a handgun jams can happen that only someone familiar with the weapon would understand. What about early firearms like flintlock and matchlock muskets? There more I think about this the more it becomes evident that the actors should have a clause in their contract if something should go awry.
