Mark Wahlberg is a convicted felon in real-life - he famously tried to get his felony (attempted murder) expunged from his record in the mid-2010s, which generated controversy at the time. So how is he able to handle guns on movie sets, given that convicted felons cannot legally own/handle firearms without their records being expunged? The Hollywood Reporter article on movie guns from 2015, which was based in part on interviews with us, claims that ISS provides replica guns for actors with felony convictions (and he's mentioned by name as an example). But looking at a lot of screenshot evidence on this Wiki, most of the guns he handles in films look like real, blank-adapted firearms, not airsoft replicas or anything else. (One caveat: He's done a lot of movies in Canada, and I don't know how their laws differ from ours, or how the RCMP interprets the law as it applies to the film industry.) -MT2008 (talk) 16:52, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
