People that are competent with firearms know there is no such thing as an unloaded firearm.

The gun was handed to him, by his first ad, who told him it was a cold gun. The AD’s job is to make sure the gun is cold by having the armorer open the barrel and literally show him. Then the armorer hands the gun to the actor. NOT the AD. The AD’s job is safety on set……….SAFETY ON SET…….This is from his previous show….
Dave Halls, the Rust assistant director was terminated on the spot after a gun “unexpectedly discharged” on his watch.
“I can confirm that Dave Halls was fired from the set of Freedom’s Path in 2019 after a crew member incurred a minor and temporary injury when a gun was unexpectedly discharged. Halls was removed from set immediately after the prop gun discharged. Production did not resume filming until Dave was off-site,” the producer said in the statement. “An incident report was taken and filed at that time.”
