[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ it wasn’t Baldwin at fault.  It was the employee that gave him a loaded gun telling him it was a cold gun(clear of ammo).  That’s the one negligent.[/quote]

It’s the responsibility of the person holding the gun to make sure it is not loaded. Period. [/quote]

+1 I wonder if Baldwin had taken any gun safety courses (I’m betting no)[/quote]

He’s pretty anti gun, so I’d assume no. It’s a shame because if he had, he’d know the first rule is verify it’s not loaded. [/quote]

Not to kick him when he's down, but he doesn't seem like the kind of careful person who thinks of these things, training or no. Bottom line, there are a number of protection layers that have been built into firearm use on film sets, and they are the reason we don't have more accidents and deaths. It takes an extraordinary combination of circumstances for all protection layers to be ignored, and for someone to actually get shot.

Sadly, this is what happened here. The most pressing fix is to make sure there is a qualified and reliable armorer/prop person.

The protections put in place on sets are because of UNIONS. They were ignoring the safety measures which is why the union crew walked off. The gun had already misfired multiple times, it should have been replaced and the scenes reshot. But they brought in scabs instead and someone died because of it.[/quote]

Where did you read that the gun involved in the incident misfired multiple times?[/quote]
