“It is NOT an actor’s job to check a firearm.”
BS, basic i.e. BASIC firearms safety is “Check your weapon”
I’ve read that back in the’50s and 60s when a lot of World War II vets were working Hollywood everybody checked their f****** weapons especially the guys that were in the armed services it was second nature it should still be second nature The NRA teaches it as second nature police forces do it routinely, everybody is checking their weapon except Hollywood actors.. is that what you’re implying? Because that is totally against any quals regarding firearm safety.

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.
