He definitely should bear some responsibility. He should have checked the firearm himself. But yeah, I get what your saying. They had 2-3 accidental discharges prior to the fatal accident. Their weapons master was a 24yo woman who obviously didn’t have a clue. I don’t see how she wasn’t fired after the first AD/ND. And also, the assistant director is at fault. He had one job, check the pistol before handing it to the actor. Instead he just picked it up and said “cold gun,” before handing it off to Alec. It’s one of those cases where 10 things went wrong, and if just one of them had gone right this whole situation would have been prevented. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
if anything, Criminal Negligence charges should be filed against more than one person who was there ...
One thing could have prevented it, a clause that anytime a functional firearm is used a safety class will be taken by any and all individuals handling that firearm or in the presence of that firearm. How to check and clear the chamber, plus the 3 rules of firearms and more. 1. Treat every firearm as if it is loaded. 2. Know your target and what is beyond it. 3. Never point a firearm at something you do not intend to destroy. I'll guarandamntee one thing, if you ever point a gun at me you'd better pull that trigger before my fist meets your face, I do not care what the circumstances are. I will do my best to end you before you end me, period.
I 100% agree. The set was full of anti gun elites who did not have respect for firearms, and it ended in the death of a young mother. They displayed their ignorance of the most basic gun safety rules. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
And worse, had those antis taken a firearm safety class from a group like NRA, which they demonize, perhaps this death could have been prevented.
