Ok this isn’t a Discussion on the movie scene where the guy thumb-cocked his 1911…or better yet Glock 17!, or when bullets just magically bounce off ballistic vests, or how odd it seems that when the apocalypse starts, seems that H&K guns start growing from trees.
No, I’m shrugging my shoulders at one of my favorite actresses Naomi Watts
The actress — who has sons Alexander, two, and Kai, 1, with long-term partner Liev Schreiber — took her baby son Samuel with her when she filmed the thriller film Fair Game – and often had a “fully loaded” gun in her pocket when it came to feeding time.
“Thank god I had a great nanny was right there because I was feeding every three hours with a loaded gun in my pocket!” she said.
First up I have my doubts the prop gun people allow the actors to wander around the set with fully loaded guns….or even let them handle loaded guns on set. That being said:
BIG FUCKING DEAL, Naomi! Hey look, baby in my arms, FULLY LOADED gun in my pocket. And fully loaded with 5 147gr. Federal Hydrashok JHP .38 Special +P+ cartridges. The gun was loaded, the gun was in its holster, the holster was in my pocket. My gun was not going to go off unless I actually drew it and pulled the trigger.
It must be nice to be a big movie star and have two kids with another big movie star (I also LOVE me some Liev Schreiber, if you haven’t seen “Defiance” yet, GO DO IT NOW!!!) but it almost must not be anything like real life.
Hmm… maybe I need to take off my holster before my 9 and 10 year old daughters hug me. Their little hands end up near my gun! I’m glad Hollywood is here to give me parenting and gun safety advice!
Wait, so she needed Nanny Supervision to be around a baby while a gun was in her pocket? Huh?
My goodness! You are certainly a big threat to that baby there. Did you have appropriate supervision?
OMG! There’s an inanimate object in you pocket. Take cover!
Why, oh why must the ‘r’ escape me? Your pocket, not you pocket. sigh
I live in New England, we have little use for your “R’s” you can keep them!
What a cute baby! 😉
She is, isn’t she?
Holywood. It is mass doses of stupid for the stupid masses.
Anyway, the nanny should have shot the gun out of her pocket. Or perhaps just field strip it with one hand ?
Can you do a post about pocket holsters? I am very interested as I know nothing about them.
