“It is NOT an actor’s job to check a firearm.”

BS, basic i.e. BASIC firearms safety is “Check your weapon”

Wrong. That’s how it works in the real world, but not on a Hollywood movie set. Again, there’s a reason why accidents like this are so rare. The rules are VERY strict. It is the armorer’s job (and his/her team), not the actor’s. What Baldwin did or didn’t do as far as handling the firearm AND if he intentionally cut corners by hiring a cheap armorer will be decided in court.

haha... Or to people who want to practice firearms whoopsie’s

Famous last words “it’s okay it’s not loaded”

“Check your weapons!” Capt Joe McVicar, USMC Force Battalion School (circa 1988) who would kick-your-ass over “Accidental Discharges” Outstanding school by the way.
