Then we have the Alec Baldwin murder that George Clooney just had to weigh in on. In an interview on the subject of gun safety George stated that he visually inspects any firearm handed to him on the movie set to verify it is unloaded or loaded with dummy rounds. But then he contradicts himself by saying that when he is handed a six-gun he points it at the ground and pulls the trigger six times to verify that it is not loaded.
“Every single time I’m handed a gun on the set — every time — they hand me a gun, I look at it, I open it, I show it to the person I’m pointing it too, I show it to the crew,” Clooney said. “Every single take.” Then, “You hand it back to the armor when you’re done.” He said. Part of it is because of what happened to Brandon. Everyone does it. Everyone knows” that is the protocol to follow. “Maybe Alec did that — hopefully he did do that. But the problem is dummies are tricky because they look like real [rounds]. They got a little tiny hole in the back [from which] somebody’s [removed] the gunpowder.”
On-set prop guns have such a realistic look and because of this, Clooney double and triple checks to make sure the prop isn’t dangerous.
“I mean every time I get handed a six-gun,” or a gun that holds six cartridges, “you point it at the ground and you squeeze it six times,” Clooney said, noting “It’s just insane” not to.
The actor also laments the term “cold gun,” which was what the gun that shot was described on the set of Rust to denote it was safe for use.
“I’ve never heard the term ‘cold gun,'” Clooney said of his years of movie-making. “I’ve never heard that term. Literally. They’re just talking about stuff I’ve never heard of. It’s just infuriating.”
