For the record, I don't have any love for either Baldwin or Cheney.

Dick Cheney didn't kill anyone.

Only because he was a bad shot.

Dick Cheney is actually a really good shot. I think he must have been drunk or something. At any rate they weren’t following protocol in terms of placement.

Since blanks have no actual bullet or projectile, I have to assume you mean the difference between a blank and live cartridge. What most non gun people visualize as a bullet is a loaded cartridge, the bullet is the projectile that fires from that cartridge. A live cartridge will have a bullet at the end, and a blank one will not.

This is a cartridge with a bullet


This is a blank cartridge

He’s a blowhard.

Can’t acting schools just have mandatory gun training ?

Assume they decide to go that way. Guess what the first rule you’re taught in any gun training?

The person holding the gun is responsible for it and always assume it’s loaded unless you have checked it yourself.

On a set, it's safer to have experts check the gun rather than the actor - mistakes happen often enough by experts, do you really think having nonexperts doing things with a gun is safer?

Actors are not at a shooting range or the field. They are on a set.

It’s basic gun safety. The person holding the gun is always responsible. Always assume the gun is loaded. Never point a gun at someone else.

Movies must be very mysterious to you. Or maybe you assume that everyone shot in a movie scene actually dies.

Terrifying.

If you chose to use a real gun while filming a movie, then you should follow real gun rules.
There’s no lessor standard of care here because it’s somehow all make believe.

Waste of taxpayer money. I'd be livid. Baldwin already settled with Hutchin's husband and kids. Her parents are going for a money grab with Allred.

There will be a mistrial.

Director was in charge.

Not for the scene.

He wasn't goofing around. It was during the film shoot.

He has stated that he didn't pull the trigger and the gun went off on its own - some people have said that's impossible but the gun had already done it the day before and narrowly missed hitting someone then, so doesn't seem entirely impossible.

How would a jury ever convict him? Even if he pulled the trigger I would not. Is the armorer also facing charges?!

I don't know if he pulled the trigger and is denying it or is in denial or didn't realize or if the gun went off on its own - however it happened, I wouldn't convict if I were on the jury.

The earlier charges were dropped. I don't understand why these charges were brought.
