I check my lug nuts, yes. Too many tire shops either crank it down till the impact won't move (could crack the studs) or they don't tighten beyond finger tight. Either way can lead to big problems.
Putting trust into others doing their job is great in a lot of situations - but when it comes to firearms handling - since its so easy to hurt or kill someone with rather immediate results - the responsibility falls on the person holding the gun.
If you walk into a gun shop, ask to see a pistol in the case - they just pull it out and hand it over without making safe and showing clear - and that gun happened to have a chambered live round and you "dry fire" it and send the round into the clerk, another customer, or some rando - are you absolved of your responsibility because they failed to do theirs? I'd say no, because *you* didn't check the gun yourself. I don't know about others here, but I have had gun shop clerks try to hand me a gun without showing that it was clear and safe.
This wasn't the first movie Baldwin ever held a gun in. I'll bet he's even gone to gun ranges and shot before. He *should* know better, and he should know what a blank round looks like vs a real round, and at least *ask* the property guy "hey, I thought we're doing blanks, this looks real"
You hafta ask why, even, would they have dummy rounds made with real primers. Why not make them with a solid slug instead so there's even less chance a "dummy" isn't a dummy.
