I know nothing about guns. I've never shot a gun. If I looked at a gun and was even able to figure out how to look in the chamber without killing myself or someone else, I wouldn't know if the ammunition was live or a blank. And they use blanks all the time in movies.
Why expect Alec Baldwin to know about guns?
He's at fault for hiring the armorer, not firing the gun.
I'm going to give my opinion anyway.
"Well, George, the casting crew has gotten back to us. Your unique drawl, your frazzled look in an unshaven state, the way you delivered those lines - everything is perfect! You're the new star actor this studio has been looking for, and perfect to play the villain of our upcoming serial!"
"Well, that's incredible!"
"Unfortunately, since the character in question holds a gun in two scenes of the series, and you got 2 questions wrong on the firearms exam, we're going to have to turn you down. We take safety very seriously."
"Couldn't...someone else just check weapons for me?"
"They could, but that might involve relying on another person for tasks they're more suited for, and last I checked, this wasn't Communismerica."
