1. Yes he should have checked

But on set, as an actor, when an armorer hands you a firearm, you assume it does not have live ammo in it. On set, an actor is staying in character and focusing in his role, the scene and his lines, taking directions and making sure what the character that is being portrayed, is believable. It's kind of weird - the guy you're sitting next to, who is all made up and outfitted, is talking about his car, then he walks on set and becomes a cowboy bad guy gun slinger for 5 minutes. Then the armorer hands you a firearm, and the cameras roll. Imagine the scene at the OK corral. Alex had no idea it was loaded and there is no way he was guilty.
