Just a quick comment by someone who does this sort of thing for living.

Rules are there for a reason..................

[servo1969]

Like someone says in the comments - Safety protocols are written in blood.

Criminal negligence .

BTT. It's confirmation of the rules of handling already discussed ad infinitum but it's coming from a very authoritative source. Of note is that proper protocols take time and the cast and crew of Rust were reportedly under considerable time pressure. That isn't any excuse at all, it's simply how this sort of thing can happen.

Rule #1 ... treat every gun as if it’s loaded.

The irony is if he’d just stuck to any one of the rules nobody would be dead today. Just ONE, such as Never point the gun at anybody ever. Or dry fire it. Or open it and look. I mean if your a lazy dumbass just stick to ONE.

"Rule #1 ... treat every gun as if it’s loaded."

Correction: RULE #1. EVERY FIREARM IS LOADED until the person in possession checks it personally. That's what I teach my wife. I opened the cylinder of a revolver to show her it was not loaded. Closed the cylinder and handed to her and asked now what do you do? She opened the cylinder and check again. Ran her through the same steps with a 9mm and the 12 guage when I had them.

No I didn't lose them in a boating accident...turned them in for fear of "accidental discharge".

Similar thing in aviation - I can watch a refueler put back and tighten the gas caps, but I’m still going to walk on over and check them myself.

So years ago we were on a US Air small commuter turbo prop, maybe twenty five seats. My husband is in a window seat, and we were ready to roll, movement started. He says, look they forgot to put the gas cap on. I thought he was kidding, I looked out on the wing and there it was laying there. I jumped up went to the cockpit, before 911 and there was just a curtain. They stopped, a ladder came out and attached it. The pilot made an announcement what had happened but stressed it wouldn’t have caused a problem. I had a good friend who was an exec pilot on a King Air and asked her, she wasn’t sure but said I think it could have gotten very quiet on that side of the plane. LOL
