[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Film sets don’t make their own rules. If Alec Baldwin would’ve checked the gun seeing as he’s the guy that actually shot the woman none of this would’ve happened. Again this other guy told me it wasn’t loaded is not a defense. Why do you think film sets get to make up some magic rules that protect them from negligence? [/quote]

You’re a moron. A complete and total moron. [/quote]

DP - actually in all honesty I don’t understand how the laws against shooting and killing someone might apply or not apply here. I can’t imagine that an actor shooting someone to death on a set is somehow not criminal? I also realize it is done within a context of a movie shoot, but the gun, the shot, the shooter, and the death are all real. How are the rules of killing by gun relevant or not relevant in a circumstance like this?[/quote]

That’s what I’m wondering. [/quote]

If you followed established protocols in your industry, that would absolutely be a defense against negligence; on the other hand, not following protocols in your industry, even if not required for normal people, would be evidence of negligence. If the armorer weren’t an armorer but just a random colleague of the players involved, her responsibilities would be different. Her possible responsibility here js evidence in and of itself that the industry standard practice matters.[/quote]

It really comes down to whether a jury believes that being on a film set and following their unsafe protocols is a reasonable excuse. I think the disagreement on this thread shows that some people would excuse someone if they followed protocols at their workplace, even if those protocols are unsafe. Other people would not excuse it.  [/quote]
