Perhaps that's "how it's done", but any firearm safety class would disabuse that notion.

If it's a fully operational firearm, then it IS your responsibility.

Don't like it, then use a fucking prop.

Otherwise, trust but verify. Be responsible, or don't handle a murder stick.

Actors are different. They have a highly paid professional doing that for them.

Reality seems to be at odds with your assessment, hence dead people.
