It seems counter-intuitive, but it’s actually the best way. Most actors know little to nothing about firearms and have to be trained on how to hold them naturally, etc. Armorers are highly trained in all aspects of firearms (not so sure about the armorer in this case), but accidents like this are so rare because of the armorer’s knowledge and professionalism.
Next up will be Baldwin.
I understand your point, and it makes sense, given that actors aren’t properly trained. Maybe that’s the area that needs the most attention.
If they’re going to “play” with real guns, the should have real gun training, prior to handling a firearm.
It will be real interesting to see how they try to weasel Baldwin out of any charges.
He’s the big man in charge of the movie set, and ultimately culpable for what happens there.
