    I really don’t understand how they can get him for anything in relation to handling the gun. None of the safety stuff is the actor’s job.

    Now since he was one of the head honchos on the picture they could go after him for negligence there, but the whole “pull the trigger” thing is weird to me. Actors do that on set all the time while pointing weapons they’ve been given at crew. It’s part of making movies.

      It seems like there are a lot of people who took a course and now consider themselves experts on gun safety. They don’t seem to understand that movies use completely different safety rules, because when they make a movie they have to break all the normal rules. Or maybe they’re just being deliberately obtuse because they hate Baldwin for his politics.
