These guidelines are intended to give recommendations on the safe handling, use and storage of firearms.
Blanks can kill.
Treat all firearms as though they are loaded. This includes real as well as prop guns. Never point a firearm at anyone, including yourself, and if called upon to do so, consult the Property Master or other safety representative such as the First A.D. or Stage Manager. Consider that whatever you point the gun at, that object will be destroyed. Never place your finger on the trigger until you' re ready to shoot.
