During jury selection for Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' shooting trial, three potential jurors expressed strong views on gun safety. The jurors shared their beliefs as Baldwin's attorney, Alex Spiro, conducted a 50-minute voir dire to assess their suitability for the trial.

One woman emphasized the importance of double-checking, stating that she was always taught this practice. A man echoed her sentiments by highlighting the need to treat firearms as if they are loaded at all times and to never point them at another person. Another potential juror emphasized the importance of treating any gun, whether real or fake, as a loaded weapon.
