Alec should have checked the gun. Period.[/quote]

You are clearly uneducated regarding who is responsible for what on a film set. [/quote]

[b]the law is due care[/b], not who is responsible for what on a film set. Anyone who has ever owned a gun can tell you that every gun is loaded until you personally verify that it isn't. [/quote]

If you are one of the people who insists that you are knowledgeable about guns, then you can see that guns with live bullets are not used on movie sets.  If a movie set calls for an explosion or a live bullet, then that shoot would require very different safety precautions than a regular scene.  Right?  It is clear that the due care required for a prop gun with blanks is different than the due care required for a gun with a live bullet.  [/quote]

Any gun is a loaded gun until you know otherwise. If there are any gun owners on the jury, Baldwin is screwed. [/quote]

They don’t have to be gun owners just people with common sense.  I’ve never touched a gun in my life and have no plans to, and I know that you always treat guns as if they’re loaded and don’t point them at other people.[/quote]

[b]I disagree. A movie set isn't just regular every day life with gun owners in charge of their guns. There was someone there literally in charge of gun safety whose entire job was to make sure guns were safe to handle. There was also absolutely NO reason for live ammunition to be on the set, unlike life outside of a set where guns would have live rounds.[/b] [/quote]

+1 there are rules for safety in handling weapons on a set and that is ultimately the responsibility of the armorer. She was just found guilty, as she should have been. It was her responsibility that a gun was loaded with live ammo instead of blanks.[/quote]

Those are industry rules. Whether or not they absolve him is up to the jury. If the jury has gun owners, I doubt they care much about industry rules  [/quote]
