The real issue is that actors are not taught and do not use basic gun safety.
There are 4 key rules, and admittedly in acting one will normally be violated. However, it would be safe as long as every person verifies that a gun is/is not loaded when they pick up or are handed a gun.
How could the Director not validate that the gun was unloaded, and why did the Actor not verify that the gun was not loaded.
A special rule for acting sets would be that if the gun is loaded - to verify that they are loaded with blanks and not bullets.
I read a comment by some veteran action movie actor (can't remember who) saying that the safety-conscious directors he's worked with have taken a few moments before a scene where a weapon is going to be fired at someone to gather together the shooter, the target, and anyone else in the line of fire to show them that the weapon contains only blanks.
The more I read about this incident, the clearer it is that those in charge of this production were only really concerned with getting the filming done as cheaply and as quick as possible.
