re: Alec Baldwin when handed the weapon used to KILL, was asked if he wanted to check -

quote:

---

"the prop handler, Gutierrez Reid, hands him the weapon saying 'cold gun' - do you want to check?'

Slipgun replies... 'I didn't want to insult her [like this has EVER stopped him before]', so he responded, as any professional, award winning actor-producer would, with 'Nah... I'm good'.

The actor checking the gun upon receipt is not something that can be opted out of. After the killing of Brandon Lee, protocols were put in place that mandates the actor verify.
