Naturally, they lead the story by tsk-tsking Selleck’s “temper.”
Don’t you know that it is ill-tempered and offensive to complain when a gun is pointed at you by someone who clearly is just kidding around? And if he isn’t kidding just give him what he wants, and if necessary beg for your life like a good little sheep.
As for Selleck’s alleged emphasis on gun safety, we all know that guns are unsafe; one might even say that guns are evil if we were the kind of simpletons who actually believe in the myth of good and evil.
I had always assumed that the guns used on TV were prop guns… From reading the article they indicated it was a real gun. I will also assume they are either unloaded or use blanks while filming.
This show being filmed on location in NY and me being a NY pistol permit holder I was always told that in order to just touch a pistol in NY you had to be a permit holder. I have read this in legal guides for NY gun laws, been told that in my pistol permit class and it was just understood to be true.
So can someone point me to the exception in the law for actors filming TV shows with real guns??
cleb, even worse is that it’s quite common for felon actors to be running around with firearms on set, when it’s clearly illegal for a felon to even touch a firearm. *cough, cough, Mark Wahlberg, cough, cough*

I guess Mr. Selleck wasn’t in the mood to end up like Brandon Lee.

MHinGA beat me to it. First line of the story: TOM Selleck has quite the temper!
Yeah. What a dick.

Is that extra ever lucky that Chuck Heston is no longer with us. He’d-a-got thunnerbolted. And rightly so.
So he “squirmed,” did he? Probably feeling all quigley, down under.

OK… I have one question…
I had always assumed that the guns used on TV were prop guns… From reading the article they indicated it was a real gun. I will also assume they are either unloaded or use blanks while filming.
This show being filmed on location in NY and me being a NY pistol permit holder I was always told that in order to just touch a pistol in NY you had to be a permit holder.

I did not know he was a felon… Liked him in the fighter (my dad grew up with his older brother in lowell)
and if he was a felon & shooter used real guns… boy oh boy…

Think about all the gun laws that Mythbusters breaks when they shoot in their workshop…..They are in San Francisco.
