“Common sense” does not exist. You have been taught literally everything you know.
Your comment is a fine example of every internet asshole with a gun thinking they know everything about all situations in which a gun could conceivably be used.
Understand something. On a movie set, you are not on a firing range. First of all, there shouldn’t even be a single round of live ammunition on the set. In the rare circumstances where it is required, the armorer should be the only one handling the loaded weapon until moments before the actor is firing it. This is the case even with blank firing weapons. You are not surrounded by people that ostensibly have an interest in firearms, or even want to handle firearms.
The armorer is responsible for loading the firearm and readying it to fire. The actor’s SOLE responsibility is to point it and shoot. No, they should not in any way be responsible for ensuring the safe or not-safe status of the firearm. THEY SHOULD ASSUME IT IS SAFE TO USE IN THE WAY THEY ARE BEING DIRECTED TO USE IT BECAUSE IT IS THE ARMORER’S JOB TO ENSURE IT IS SAFE.
Is everyone on set responsible for making sure that craft services is cooking the chicken to the proper internal temperature, or storing the lettuce in a refrigerator? No. Fuck no.
Welcome to the world of professionals, where it’s assumed you know what the fuck you’re doing.
And seriously, drop this fucking “nepo baby” horseshit unless you’re going to start applying it to LITERALLY EVERYONE THAT GETS A JOB IN THE SAME INDUSTRY AS THEIR PARENTS.
But you don’t give a shit when Cleetus McFuckbag Jr takes over dad’s lawn care business and fucks it up, do you?
