    After having watched the interrogation of Alec Baldwin, and the two interrogations of the “armorer,” it’s pretty clear that the usually-standard protocol on sets was basically non-existent on theirs. The weapons and ammunition were haphazardly strewn about on the prop cart, then the armorer failed to do her due diligence of ensuring the gun was cold before handing him the weapon, and then lastly the actor failed to double check or verify that the armorer did indeed hand him a cold weapon. The corners the production team cut to save some money is shameful, and resulted in this poor woman losing her life, and all because of several people failing to do their role in ensuring safety on the set.

      They had 22 guns on set, according to the armorer. Granted, some were dupes and some were dummies, but let's say 12 actors carried cold guns all day long for their scenes. She's not expected to follow 12 people around all day while they film cold scenes to make sure nobody loads a live one for a dummy for a scene that isn't hot. That's really the job of the other two props people.

    Thank you! This hasn't been said enough in these conversations. Gun safety says you check your gun. Other actors have confirmed set safety says you check the gun. Not only that, as someone who is at least familiar with guns, practiced with live ammo and blanks, he's saying that gun went off in his hands and he didn't know what happened?? He's acting like the gun was inert in his hands as it went off, there was a mysterious big noise and he didn't know the gun fired. I don't believe it one bit.

SAG rules require safe procedures on movie sets even though as you say live ammo is “not allowed” on set - the rules exist because real bullets exist and mistakes are sometimes made.

      SAG-AFTRA released the following statement on today's news regarding charges in the Rust tragedy.
      "The death of Halyna Hutchins is a tragedy, and all the more so because of its preventable nature. It is not a failure of duty or a criminal act on the part of any performer.
      "The prosecutor's contention that an actor has a duty to ensure the functional and mechanical operation of a firearm on a production set is wrong and uninformed. An actor’s job is not to be a firearms or weapons expert. Firearms are provided for their use under the guidance of multiple expert professionals directly responsible for the safe and accurate operation of that firearm. In addition, the employer is always responsible for providing a safe work environment at all times, including hiring and supervising the work of professionals trained in weapons.
      "The Industry Standards for safety with firearms and use of blank ammunition are clearly laid out in Safety Bulletin 1, provided by the Joint Industry-Wide Labor Management Safety Commission. The guidelines require an experienced, qualified armorer to be put in charge of all handling, use and safekeeping of firearms on set. These duties include 'inspecting the firearm and barrel before and after every firing sequence,' and 'checking all firearms before each use.'
      "The guidelines do not make it the performer’s responsibility to check any firearm. Performers train to perform, and they are not required or expected to be experts on guns or experienced in their use. The industry assigns that responsibility to qualified professionals who oversee their use and handling in every aspect. Anyone issued a firearm on set must be given training and guidance in its safe handling and use, but all activity with firearms on a set must be under the careful supervision and control of the professional armorer and the employer."

You expect all the women and children actor's in movies to check the weapon before they shoot it? The fact that they even allow real guns on a set is the problem, just add the effects in post production.

    The first rule of gun safety is "do not point any gun at a person" This applies to Firearms, dart guns, paintball guns, and even squirt guns. Firearms are to be checked as EMPTY, dart guns can put out an eye, Paintball guns require eye protection and clothing helps,
    Even a cap gun can cause a problem causing injury if someone jumps out of the way and gets injured. BBs or pellets can put out an eye. Ignorance of the first rule/ law of gun safety is not a defense.

This should’ve happened exactly with the gun and dummies …doesn’t matter what was said he should open up and checked with everyone. The way you tell us by shaking the bullets to see if they rattle if they rattle…. it’s a dummy and if it’s a real bullet it doesn’t rattle. Alec Baldwin was negligent and he was naive but he was also irresponsible,-and more important reckless … The armour she seem frazzled and confused on the body armour footage from the police footage and tried to blame the second unit director. What a sad state events no one really wins absolutely ludicrous. I hope in future dummy rounds are painted green the bottom so people know their dummies…. Utterly disappointing…

    Each person who handled that weapon is responsible. Alec Baldwin is even more so as he fired the weapon while everyone was standing by. Those people were only 6 to 8 ft away from him when he fired. Like John says point blank basically. They were all crowded together in that small room with all the cameras and equipment they were using for the scene. No one handles a weapon let alone points it a a person without checking to see if the safety was on and or empty.
    Another fact on them old guns the hammer has to be cocked and trigger pulled in order for it to fire. Baldwin is lying on that count as well. He says he did not do it. You can clearly see in the videos him doing it and his hand shakes when doing it.
    He is criminally responsible and needs to be in jail!

    Just a thought here, as a responsible gun owner. As well as a fellow who has done a little acting.
    First thing first, a movie set has an armorer. It is this person who is responsible for making certain of cold weapon. It is this person who has the responsibility.
    Second thing, there is no way, by basic visual inspection that he, Alec Baldwin, could have known he was looking at a live round in the chamber.

      Now, my comment was that Mr Baldwin could not, by mere physical inspection, ascertain if the rounds in the weapon were 'live' rounds. How do I know this? After I bought my Mare's Leg I could immediately feel how rough the action was. I needed to run a few hundred rounds through the cycle, loosen everything up. So, I bought a package of "snap caps'. Solid aluminum bullets that have the exact appearance of a real live round.
      So I return to my original comment, there is no way of "just looking at a gun to know if it has live rounds in it". Especially if there is a professional armorer taking care of things. If he was indeed handed that weapon and was told it did not have live rounds, there is no way he could have 'looked' at the thing and known they were, in fact, live, since the dummy bullets look exactly like a live round.

      He’s telling the truth. Alec Baldwin and everyone that picks up a gun and points it at someone has culpability. The difference here is Baldwin is a liberal celebrity. If it was you or I we’d have been arrested early on. If that makes no sense to you. That’s pretty sad. The rest of what you hold against him is neither here nor there to this conversation. US law in every state is pretty clear on that.
      Vinny Politan , as an attorney knows that too. Everyone that touches the gun to handle it has responsibility. That includes Baldwin. WHO btw was taught to shoot by his sharpshooter Marine father who was the instructor of a shooting team at a high school. His brothers have spoken about being taught to shoot by their father in articles. Which also makes Alec Baldwin a big fat liar. Politics is one thing. Common sense and law are another.

    Alec Baldwin and all those who handled the gun, should have checked the chamber when receiving the gun from the previous person. It is inexcusable. Especially with his experience. He is responsible for making sure that the gun was not loaded at the time he received it.
    A good example of this sort of failure is when a suspect has been arrested, the arresting officer checks for any possible weapon or something that can be harmful. The next person to handle the suspect must repeat the same procedure. If something was found during a search, then the previous person(s) handling is/are responsible for failing to properly search the suspect. A suspect may be searched several times before being put in a holding cell. And then the searches continue the moment the suspect is moved out of that cell to another location.
