New Mexico prosecutors plan to recharge Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter over a fatal on-set shooting in October 2021.
The prosecutors dismissed charges against the Emmy award-winning actor in April, just two weeks before his trial was due to start.
But "additional facts" merit bringing the case again before a grand jury next month, they said.
I don't see any reason to downvote you, it's a fair opinion.
I don't really agree. While it's definitely good practice to handle firearm safety even with prop guns, I also don't see any reason to expect a real gun.
But I know very little about guns. I have never seen or even heard of someone handling one over here. I guess the USA is different and there is actually a real chance a real gun ends up between prop guns.
Real guns firing blanks are used in higher budget Hollywood films because it looks more realistic. Many TV shows will use gas blowback airsoft pistols and add muzzle flash in post production but you can tell because there are never spent casings being ejected.
