    Would any of you at 24 have spoke up to your boss who is probably 20+ years your senior?

    That’s the issue with having a young person do a job that is 100% about safety and 100% about taking control of unsafe situations.

    As a very full of myself 4th year med student on an anesthesia rotation I was asked to fill in for a nurse anesthetist on a case. The patient was on the table. The surgeons were ready to go and chomping at the bit. The anesthesia machine was all set up, drugs were drawn up. All I had to do was inject an anesthetic and paralyzing drug and start bagging the patient. But when I started to bag the patient nothing happened. The attending anesthesiologist showed me that the ambubag had the tip cut off. He showed me how to ventilate the patient by pressing the gas button on the machine and handed me an intact ambubag to replace the one they use to humble haughty med students and teach them to always check everything yourself and don't be rushed.

    Expecting an actor to be trained like an expert to ensure gun safety on set is silly. Should they also do brake inspections on any vehicles they might be asked to drive?
    As a surgeon it is not my job to ground the patient to the electric cautery machine but it is my responsibility to be sure they are fully grounded so they won't be burned. (Nowadays the machines can detect if there is excessive resistance and won't work but in the past that was not the case and burns were not rare.) It is my responsibility to make sure there are no sponges left in the patient even if the nurses tell me the count is correct.

    If I were an actor about to do a stunt driving scene myself I would certainly drive an unfamiliar car a bit before doing any high speed driving. Wouldn't you?

    I can't imagine pulling the trigger on a firearm without knowing for sure what if anything it is loaded with. You don't have to be an expert to do that. I would expect to be given a quick instruction in the operation of any firearm I wasn't familiar with before using it. But I'm weird. I even use the guard on the table saw in the Truckee RH even though it's a Saw Stop. (And I know a couple of members who won't use it because they were hit by kickbacks because they weren't using the guard.)

    I'm done with this subject. I just hope I'm never around some of you if there are guns around.

    In this case Baldwin is more like the surgical drill…not the surgeon.

    And if you’re being honest your grounding and sponge examples are different than making sure the overhead lamp is screwed into the ceiling. You’re proving my point.

    You know, if a few of you just read the firearms guidance from the SAG you would have a lot fewer words to write.

    The 1st AD should never be handling guns on set. They have way, way too much on their mind/plate. They are the glue that holds every single department together and on time.

    Having not read every post in this thread, I thank you Atrain505 for this. While there is no excuse for Baldwin failing to check the weapon prior to firing, I could see Atrain's scenario playing out and a (fully preventable) accident happening.

    I've done some "plinking" with blanks.. Still doubt they used actual bullets.

    Got a friend who does this for fun.. This will give folks an idea of how dangerous blanks are at 10 feet away..
    Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

    Wish we cared as much about dissecting the circumstances leading to each death from covid. The mistakes would be equally shocking.

    The armorer is truly fucked. People using prop guns for blasting beer cans on off hours is a pretty big violation of chain of custody.

    The fact that some pretty involved people haven't made statements is telling - they've lawyered up and gone silent. What a complete shitshow.

    Go online to Truckee Roundhouse and sign up for a Saturday afternoon tour.
    20 in planer and the wide belt sander are nice.
    But most folks seem to want to use the laser cutter and CNC router.
