He does bear extra culpability for cutting corners re: set safety. He is a producer on the film, meaning that cutting corners saved him money. Everyone I know in the film industry was shocked about the way that set was run - on a typical set, once the gun enters the set there's a meeting with every single person working to tell them it's there, and give updates on its location when it's moved, used, etc. They are meant to disassemble the gun and show that the clip is empty at that meeting, load the blanks only when being used, then unload after the take. None of this happened on that set, due to hiring negligent armorers and cutting safety corners. I don't know if that really means Alec is legally culpable, but it does mean his actions contributed to the reason that gun was loaded.

Honest question: what possible reason would there ever be for using a real gun in the first place? And it’s not to you necessarily - just really wondering out loud and curious if anyone here has an answer. Maybe there is one, but it just seems so insane to me
