Veteran IATSE Gaffer here. Everyone on a film set knows there are 4 people in the chain of command of firearms safety. The armorer, the 1st ad, the actor and if needed the key grip. SAG safety training since Brandon Lee death, has taught that the the ACTOR must always be the final person in charge of the safety of the weapons issues to them. The protocol is FOR ALL 3 to conduct a check of the weapon and ALL ROUNDS. As well during all times with acception of active filming, the actor is NEVER supposed to put their finger on the trigger and or pull it. BALDWIN, is a veteran action star that knows all of this. Additionally the camera crew walked off the film because He had consistently shown unsafe practices with his weapon. This is unheard of and show clear and evident lack of safety. Finally as BALDWIN was the producer on the film and had been told prior that the crew felt unsafe, it is directly HIS fault on many levels that a fatality happened on HIS Set.

Former STCVQ best boy grip and best boy electric, cameraman, now producer with non-restricted and restricted firearm licensee here. Basic fundamental rule number 1 "treat every firearm as if it is loaded." A single action revolver must be fully cocked and then trigger must be pulled to fire. Period. Fully cocking a single action revolver is not easy it is a deliberate act many have hammers that have to be pulled back much further than one thinks. A single action revolver cannot fire without being fully cocked. Once fully cocked the revolver is extremely dangerous. No finger should be anywhere near the trigger when fully cocked. A misfire on a single action revolver almost always refers to the gun NOT firing rather than firing accidentally. That being said no film crew safety officer should ever trust an actor holding and pointing a gun towards them. The stories emerging from this production are quite frankly gobsmacking. The reason the camera crew walked off earlier is because they are often standing next to or close to the DoP. I would have been one of them. The fault is the armorer, the AD and Baldwin. But the DoP and the Director acted irresponsibly.

First rule of firearm safety - it is the responsibility of the person handling the weapon to check it to be sure it is safe. Just like you don't take the word of a passenger in a vehicle you are operating, that it is safe to go into an intersection, you would not trust any other person's word that a firearm you are handling is safe without verifying it yourself. End of story. Even George Clooney commented, in an interview regarding the shooting, that he always checks any weapon he is handed for safety and shows the others on the set so everyone can be sure that it is safe to use.

Also, all the defense attorneys have to do is make it clear that there’s reasonable doubt. Which there’s plenty of. Who is he supposed to pull the gun on? Because whoever put the live round in gun knew he would be shooting that actor. Hmm 🤔 How many people had access to that gun? How many hands touched that gun before it reached Alec? The thing is if the armorer *the first person to check out the gun and its bullets, she called cold gun then moved on to the second person to check the gun and it’s bullets *it was called out cold gun. So how did the live round get in gun between armorer and the second armorer? Or didn’t they check that well?

@PsychNurseExplains so an actor producer or director, can't believe or trust the word of a paid arrmor when they say the gun is cold? It was a tragic accident . At the end of the day, we are all infalliable because we're humans don't live in a utopian environment.

@PsychNurseExplains as I said before, what happened was tragic for all involved. But whoever brought brought the live ammo is responsible? Did he load the gun? The gun went through 2 individuals before it got to his hands. I believe safety protocols were circumventing, but to find him guilty of involuntary manslaughter that a stretch

OK...Make no mistake. Alec Baldwin 100%, no doubt whatsoever, absolutely DID pull the trigger. That weapon WILL NOT FIRE unless someone pulls the trigger. The simple fact that it DID fire is proof positive that he pulled the trigger. So let's put that one to bed. It's also a fact that Baldwin pointed that weapon directly at the victim as he pulled the trigger, and that action could not possibly have been something he had been directed by anyone to do. That was all on him. That was the Cardinal Rule thing the prosecutor was talking about that anyone who handles a gun is taught on Day 1 of firearms training. Never point a weapon at anything you don't intend to destroy. Baldwin violated that rule, and he destroyed the person he pointed his weapon at. That may not have been his plan, but that's what he did, and the result was involuntary manslaughter.

Alex Baldwin's attorney said it very well, he's an actor, he was doing his job, acting with a gun during a gun scene and everyone in that room on set had no idea that there could have been a possibility of a live round in that gun,.. it's ridiculous to have Alex on trial when it's a well-known proven fact that he's not the one that loaded the gun!

Basic gun safety would have prevented this. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone put a live round in there on purpose because he was being wreckless, not knowing he would actually be pointing it at people pulling the trigger. Anyone on that set could have done it since it wasn’t secured. And that’s another reason he should have checked it all Himself. Trust no one.
@verabolton Ай бұрын
Probably it was Baldwin himself who put the live round in the gun since they used it outside the movie set and shot the gun for real.

@@hollymeredith4148 Why would it be "no way"? This is the only reasonable explanation of what's happened. And, considering the historically irresponsible behaviour of Baldwin, knowing his arrogance and the fact he was the big boss there... yep, I believe this is highly likely what happened. He forgot about the bullet, and the DIE recruitment provided an armourer who didn't really know what she was doing under a boss who she dared not to challenge.

He should be trying to appear as if he actually cares about the jury and what is being said. It’s harder to convict someone who appears to be concerned. And Alec has a really nice haircut.
