Refrain from pointing a firearm at anyone, including yourself.

I used to watch the show Talking Dead (recap show that came on after the Walking Dead) and they always had a segment that was a recap of "This is how we shot that scene" which was usually pretty hairy in the story, but a very slow process to actually piece together in part for safety issues. You are right, something about this smells. (My firm does a lot of insurance for this industry and this is all fully underwritten ahead of time. Anything potentially dangerous is going to be looked at carefully.)
I don't think it is just coincidence that Alec Baldwin was involved given he "played" DJT on SNL.
