The actor on the set is to follow the instructions of the director [here pointing a gun and shooting it] and the paid armorer's actual job is to be sure no live ammo is on set. The actor is not the person who is to check out a gun anymore than the actor needs to have a car safety checked before it is driven for a movie scene. the criminal charges against the armorer were righteous. against the actor they are political theatre.

That's nonsense. There's a reason gun safety rules require *everyone* who picks up a gun to follow the rules- because the potential consequences of not doing so are deadly. You can't pass it off to someone else.
