1. Don't point a gun at anyone (unless you intend to use it).
2. Make sure the gun is unloaded. Don't take someone else's word for it. But you still don't point it at anyone.
Then, of course, there is modern technology. Fake guns plus CGI can do wonders. There is no need to fire guns with live ammunition (including blanks).
Obviously the basics of firearm safety were not observed (1 and 2 above), and that includes Baldwin, not just the person who handed him the gun and those responsible for keeping track of the guns.
