The gun should have only been ready to use just before the scene was shot...even then check the gun to make sure it's only a blank round. This demonstrates that Alec runs on smart *** ego and not smarts.
I got my first Gun at age 12, a Single Shot 410 Winchester Breech-Loader.. Shooting was a family activity, and although Dad was a competition shooter and had a Federal Firearms License, we still took the training / safety course at the Range by a certified instructor..
Even if you've never had a class or watched any Western, you know that pulling the trigger will discharge the weapon.. Supposedly the scene Baldwin was rehearsing to not call for the Gun to be fired at all, yet he did it anyway.. Then he lied saying it fired without his touching the trigger, highly unlikely with a single action revolver.. He deviated from the script, and did not follow basic safety protocol..
