Alec Baldwin Shooting

[Spongebob]

Please - show me a document or law that says actors must check the loads of prop guns.  Also show me where they have to check the hand grenades aren't real, or make sure the pyrotechnics are safe.  There isn't one.  They aren't gun owners, aficionados, or using the gun for self defense.  It isn't their gun.

This is precisely the point I made before.  Movie/TV productions use lots of props besides handguns, so there's no logic that could be valid to say you must do this with a handgun but nothing else that could be dangerous.  And if that was the case, then by his logic, every actor that has to handle a potentially dangerous device, be it real or simulated, would have to be an expert in that field.  Just not a reasonable thing to expect.  But everything we argue about here is irrelevant because there are already laws that will cover this and determine who is a fault and what happens next.
