and if it’s common to leave guns unlocked and unsupervised on a cart, I agree with you that this system needs to be changed


Its just that every profession that uses firearms has straight forward protocols that are fairly strictly adhered to.

Two eyes on a round are better than one. Set people examine, load and tag gun. Have it reviewed again before using, take tag off and use. Basically transferring safety measures from other realms.

I don't think it's impractical to have people who use firearms on a set to understand basic safety, this is a requirement in every other profession. This is what Scruffy alluded to earlier, it seems the acting profession is the only one where the shooter is excluded from any safety considerations.

I'm not sure why that's being controversial here.

Exactly.

Someone alluded to the medical profession earlier.

They don’t decrease the number of people involved to improve outcomes in medical care.

They add people.

More eyes equals less chances that something is missed.

Why is that the opposite with acting? That makes zero sense to me.

This whole idea of “well, we don’t want the actor touching it because they could mess with it” is asinine.
