Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Cast Member of Alec Baldwin’s Movie Killed by Prop Gun “Misfire”

And that documented pattern is going to lead to some serious coin exchanging hands.

Has this been brought up along the way???

You might want to go back and the whole thread. What you have posted from Fox has already been posted.

I got a saw that says she was.

Sounds to me like some chucklehead was doing recreational shooting off to the side, with a prop gun, then placed it back on the armorer's cart. It was never cleared or checked. Not to mention there was no positive control of weapons or ammo on the set.

Layers of incompetence, dereliction, and bad decisions.

John Schneider explained the actual prop guns are unable to be fired with live ammo, but yiu may ne right about real guns they sometimes evidently use.

Be nice to know exactly how the script had him shooting at the camera.

I read that the guns were not from a hollywood prop outfit, but rather, were sourced locally, and are in fact legit firearms.

Something tells me that this will somehow be spun into a call, demand for more Common Sense firearms legislation.

Something like , “See, even with all of the extraordinary firearms safety precautions use in the filming of movies, people still get shot and die, yes it’s true firearms do indeed kill,

Yep.

So I was correct in thinking somebody was using these guns for target shooting/ recreation.
I can’t imagine taking guns off of a set like that, let alone returning them without clearing them of live ammo.
Much as I think of Baldwin, other than hiring scabs as crew and possibly talking an incompetent girl into taking on a responsibility she wasn’t ready for, there isn’t much to hang him on.
I guess we’ll see how this turns out, but I’d really have a talk with whoever was fiddling with the set guns. Criminal negligence at the very least.

few years ago i was at a firearms auction in scottsdale, where they were auctioning off a bunch of guns used in the cowboy westerns. there were four or five rugers there, beatuful on the outside, sewers for barrels. I bought the owner of the movies companies ruger, it had a nice barrel. no question it shoots regular 45colt ammo

There are enough precedents for safety for every commercial activity from sky diving to tourists shooting machine guns. Written protocols should have been in place and signed off on by all principles. Any deviation from established best practices will be deemed gross negligence. Criminal and civil laws differ from state to state. The actors would not be the ones responsible for enforcing best practices but lawyers will always go for the deep pockets and if Baldwin is in fact the producer that would put him deep kimchee. Criminal negligence resulting in a death is possible.

I’m actually a little surprised here, as I thought that even most of us movie buffs realized that many of the guns used in movies and TV are actually working firearms. I know there are plenty of prop guns and such but I figured at least half were working guns.
From the sound of things, this was Ol’ Alex’s baby from the start, and he was cutting a lot of corners.
If that’s the truth, I’d say his producing and acting days may be numbered. At least we can hope.

Now it comes out that that particular revolver, and probably some others, were definitely being shot offset.
Gun was used offset
Too bad there wasn’t a few of us “gun nuts” present when this was going on. A gun person knows to always clear and check a gun after shooting.
I’m thinking maybe movie people, not so much.

You check the gun to ensure it is indeed "cold."

Whenever anyone is handed or picks up a gun, weather they have been told that it is "cold" or "hot," their very first duty, is to point the gun in a safe direction and check the firearm. If they are incapable of performing that safety check, then they have no business holding any firearm. Just because an "armorer" may be involved, does not absolve them of this basic and primary responsibility. ANYONE, including big name Hollywood actors, have a duty and an obligation to ensure that they are not putting someone's life in danger by failing to perform this basic safety check. Failing to do so constitutes negligence and culpability. Hollywood actors do not get a pass on gun safety just because they are Hollywood actors.

Frankly, I am surprised this doesn't happen more often. Most of these actors are low-intelligence, Marxist tools that can barely think straight.

Alec Baldwin is a prime example, not to mention he's a fat bastard as well.

So far, although I've not read every post, no one has mentioned regarding Baldwin's negligence, is that he cocked the single action revolver, aimed at the two people, and then pulled the trigger. If he'd not cocked the revolver, the gun would not have fired and they'd all probably be filming again tomorrow

You can count on the possibility that S.F. Sheriff's homicide detectives will cite that as a possible charge of negligent endangerment" on Baldwin's part.

Every. Single. Time.

Without fail.
No matter what.

It illustrates why almost all of Hollywood needs to just STFU about the 2A and “gun control”

Right

And Hillary is going to jail too
