Yeah, keanu reeves is a dick for pointing guns at everyone in John Wick. He should practice gun safety and always point the barrel down whenever he's doing a scene. /s

Its sort of absurd to expect baldwin to not trust his weapon specialist, aside from the fact that fucking with blanks after a "professional" has loaded the weapon can and will result in death regardless of what happened in this situation.

Just tell us you hate guns and are ignorant of on-set heirarchy.

Alec wasn't filming at the time. Keanu went through actual training to handle firearms on screen which I think should be the minimum. The fact that Keanu made 4 movies in that series without killing anyone proves it can be done safely. In the circumstances of filming I would be unreasonable to expect every one of the 4 rules to be followed at all times, but breaking every single one of those rules all at once should not happen. The bare minimum that Alec can and should've done is inspect the gun to see if it's loaded, and that it's loaded with "safe" rounds. I mean that's the first thing I do!

Also I own several guns, try not to make assumptions.
