How could they be allowed to do that with the guns used in the set?
And, how could Baldwin not have gone through gun safety training which provides one with the Golden Rule: “No matter who hands you a real gun, you check it for live ammo in it.” Period. No exceptions, no excuses. For anyone.
“Cold gun” my ass. Make sure of it. And, do not allow ANYONE on a movie set ho plinking at any time. Baldwin may be a victim of this too, but he bears personal responsibility for gun safety rules adherence, and for what the crew is doing on set grounds, who he’s hired for the gun handling job responsibilities, how, etc.
This is going to be painful for many.
