After the A-list actor had it in his hand, a projectile flew out of the barrel
...a projectile flew out of the barrel,
Testimony like this is proof positive that the incident is not Baldwin's fault, it's the dam barrels fault for letting the projectile fly out.After the A-list actor had it in his hand, a projectile flew out of the barrel, striking Hutchins in the torso before lodging itself in Souza’s shoulder.
Seriously?the A-list actor
Can we agree to stop calling it “a prop gun” .

Today, we're looking at how blank ammunition works, why it's dangerous, and what part blanks played in three separate gun-related deaths in the entertainment industry. We even recreate the bizarre and unlikely circumstances that led to the death of Brandon Lee in 1993. What happens when you fire a blank with a squib stuck in the barrel? We tried it with ballistic gel to find out.
2nd 'Rust' Crew Member Sues Alec Baldwin: ‘He Did Not Check the Gun Himself'

Mamie Mitchell, the script supervisor for the unfinished film Rust, filed suit against its lead actor and producer Alec Baldwin Wednesday, declaring “Mr. Baldwin cannot hide” from responsibility for the fatal on-set shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded the movie’s director.
Deadline quoted from Mitchell’s filing, which says, “Mr. Baldwin cannot hide behind the Assistant Director to attempt to excuse the fact that he did not check the gun himself.”
Mitchell’s complaint also alleges: “Alec Baldwin intentionally, without just cause or excuse, cocked and fired the loaded gun even though the upcoming scene to be filmed did not call for the cocking and firing of the firearm.”
The Associated Press notes that the suit indicates Mitchell “was standing next to Hutchins and within 4 feet (1.22 meters) of [Baldwin], and was stunned when he fired the gun inside the tiny church on Bonanza Creek Ranch on Oct. 21.”
The suit claims, “Mr. Baldwin chose to play Russian roulette when he fired a gun without checking it, and without having the armorer do so in his presence.”
Mitchell is represented by Gloria Allred. Her suit is also against Rust producers, Rust production companies, armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed, and others.
Breitbart News reported that Baldwin spoke to reporters on October 30, 2021, and told them he was “extremely interested” in limiting the use of firearms on movie sets.
Baldwin’s statement on limiting firearm usage came nine days after the fatal shooting on the Rust set.
I have a feeling Baldwin is toast. With Mitchell being that close and fully aware of what should have happened and witnessed first hand what Baldwin did will mean a lot in a trial. Add to this all the other witnesses and physical evidence she should win her civil suit. And with the testimony and evidence Baldwin should be charged as a criminal to go to jail. The latter will never happen.2nd 'Rust' Crew Member Sues Alec Baldwin: ‘He Did Not Check the Gun Himself'

It was a prop gun within the scope of the film.I guess that is a poorly chosen Hollywood term.
A gun is a gun. Especially if it can fire real ammunition.
Which is the the heart of the problem. Using real guns to play cops and robbers, cowboys and indians.
After killing this woman I bet there are those that would prefer to see him under the sod in Potter's Field.Five good lawsuits that drain him of 12 million each helps put him in a tent under an LA Bridge.
as Jon Eric-Hexum regrettably found out.Though it was a live round that was involved, this info is still relevent......HC

I like your idea but you can bank on baldwin had already moved his money and assets for protection the day this all went down.Baldwin shows a net worth of about 60 million. Five good lawsuits that drain him of 12 million each helps put him in a tent under an LA Bridge.

Nah. I'd love to instead see Baldwin caught by the cops for the third time giving BJs in alleys for 3 cigarettes or a stale Twinkie.After killing this woman I bet there are those that would prefer to see him under the sod in Potter's Field.
I have some hands-on in that world and was always told an armourer, being responsible for safe use of any device under his/her control, had the authority to shut production down to preserve a safe environment. The posted statement also points a very fundamental failure of proper firearms usage.View attachment 300498
I have a very close family member who is both a prop master and an armorer. The day after this happened his phone was blowing up and the general concensus among his colleagues is that it was the armorers fault. I’m going to copy the above image that he was sent because it’s so tiny and I can’t figure out how to enlarge it.
It says...
“I work in props. Apparently the armorer went off between takes and shot live rounds out of the Colt .45 between takes. The armorer forgot to clear the weapon, so there was still a live round chambered. As a props guy, I can confirm this is absolutely ****ing unacceptable, and the armorer is the one who should be held accountable.”
I do not know the person who wrote the above statement. It was sent to my family member.
Baldwin is now using the liberal playbook, he is now playing the victim. So the BS he is spouting is him playing a role and playing on the sympathy of the idiots that will believe him and the media that will go along because of him being a Trump hater.Saw the Baldwin B.S. interview tonight on the evening news. HE SAYS that he didn't pull the trigger. Sorry Alec, but a Colt Peacemaker can't fire if the HAMMER IS NOT PULLED BACK AND the TRIGGERED PULLED!! He is SOOOOOO full of crap it's not even funny. He pulled the hammer back to full lock AND pulled the trigger. There is no other way for that pistol to fire. NONE!!
And I don't care what anyone says. If you pick up a firearm YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for what happens. YOU are responsible for ensuring the weapon is safe....PERIOD. Doesn't matter what anyone else tells you. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE!!

I have no opinion on Baldwin (except I've never found any of that lot to be worth the time of day) but, an actor needs to rely on the techs to keep everyone safe. An actor also needs to be thoroughly schooled in safe firearms handling & operation, regardless of his/her stance on 2A.
More & more hypocritical bull shyte; everything is OK so long as the business is profitable. Everyone in ownership & leadership in this situation are culpable for not following established safe protocols; they should all be charged.
Live ammo on a set is beyond stupid.
