He was absolutely right to dress someone down for waving a prop gun around on set. That should be reserved for the replicas that are just mockups. Who cares if it was a “little person”? If I saw my son doing that he would get my “Boot System Gun Training Lesson”. Mishandle a gun - get the Boot.
As I’ve told my children and grandchildren, if you’re ever in a situation where there’s a gun and individuals who don’t respect firearms, LEAVE. Don’t try to educate, just leave.
Old school but effective no doubt.
To me the point of the article was things should never have reached the stage where Selleck needed to comment at all in any way.
The outburst itself was not incorrect, the on-set culture was completely incorrect.
