The gun scenes in the Alec Baldwin movie "Rust" were considered dangerous enough to provide certain protections ... but not protections for people, but rather the expensive camera.
Ian A. Hudson, a New Mexico-based principal cast member who plays an outlaw in the film, tells TMZ ... his last scene in the movie on October 8 was a shootout where he was killed, and he says he was terrified that there were 20 pistols and 2 rifles that were unloading blanks, and the only protection against a mishap was some sort of shield around the camera.

Hudson says the other, more experienced actors checked their weapons 2 or 3 times after they received them from the armorer, and it didn't matter whether they were told the gun was "cold" or "hot." Baldwin did not check the weapon, but rather relied on the assistant director who assured him the gun was "cold."

And arrogant too, I suspect.
The camera was probably of higher value than the actors in the movie.
Actors like Baldwin should be given wooden unpainted guns.
How about protecting the DP and director?
And there you go.
Inhuman son of a bitch probably won’t even have any bad dreams as a consequence of criminal negligence.
Now, if someone could find a 20 yo recording of him saying “f-g” or something else not fully loving about those universally wonderful and glorious pride filled persons, there may be a demand for ‘justice’.
Sorry... only ones that know the secret handshake are the ONLY people permitted to investigate the special people on our planet. Get with the times — laws are for the sort of people that do the work. The REAL people that MATTER get their own sets of laws to obey...
These people who get their own sets of laws to obey are suffering from a special form of mental retardation.
Well... considering that they’ve had around 30 years free run, I might counter that assertion. The retardation these folks seem to have is in their hearts and souls...
We are seeing what smart is when paired with evil. Dumb evil gets blown away sticking up the corner liquor store at age 19. Smart evil gets rich, famous, popular, and (often) elected.
I happen to believe the dumbest evil is at the top.
