” It is NOT an actor’s job to check a firearm.”
You Ma’am, are very wrong in that assumption. It may not be policy on a set, but if you are handed a real firearm, it’s your job to verify whether it’s loaded, or not, if you’re an actor, or a plumber, same thing applies.
If they’re “playing” with guns, they should be made of wood, and painted yellow.
They are using real firearms, that’s the game changer.
The person holding the gun is the one who killed the cameraman, not some off-set employee.
First, I'm a Sir. Secondly, it is NOT the actor's job to check the firearm. It is the armorer's and his/her team. A Hollywood movie set is not the real world. In that world I agree completely with you about checking a firearm. But that doesn't apply on a movie set. The rules are very strict. These kinds of incidents almost never happen, and there's a reason why.
