I can't help but notice in many older films guns are handled incredibly dangerously. In many movies and TV shows, the actors often have their finger on the trigger most of the time or point the gun in unsafe directions. However, the problem doesn't seem to be as widespread in more recent films. Do you think the actors and directors from the 50s, 60s, or 70s were less familiar with firearms and safety and thus failed to incorporate them into cinema? Or have the general rules of firearm safety evolved and become more well known over time?
In The Creature from the Black Lagoon, all of the characters are completely reckless in where they point their rifles and harpoon guns. The actors frequently touch the trigger when no threat is present.
Neither Captain Kirk nor any of the planetary inhabitants who have firearms seem to know a thing about trigger safety....
Bruce Willis is a responsible gun handler. He is also a vocal proponent of gun rights.
