So is Baldwin any different from any other yahoo that picks up a gun points it at someone and pulls the trigger and then utters those famous words"I did`nt know it was loaded.Rule # 1 Don`t point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot.But I guess bone head has no idea of gun rules.Manslaughter at least in my opinion.
Its all right to be white!!

why would you ever even have live ammo on a movie set ?next to prop guns loaded with blanks ,that is just asking for trouble. I would think not having live ammo anywhere around would be the smart thing Kind of like Petito and Co., how did it make news... WGAF?

Wouldn't bother me much if they made it mandatory to use live ammo in all Hollywierd productions. Then we can get back to the real news of the century, the adventures of the Petito family.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Huntz: Maybe not. If pointing the gun at the vic and pulling the trigger was part of the movie making process, that could be considered "accidental" and not negligent.
Whole other case if he was dicking around with no job related reason for his actions.
The Mongos (and I ) would love him in prison. I bet he walks and ends up as a "victim" of the incident himself.

Movie prop guns...always make me laugh. Actor is in a gun fight and empties his glock. Not one casing is thrown.

I dont know crap about making movies but I guess
I just assumed prop guns were not real firearms capable of shooting anything out of the barrel. Honestly I never even thought much about it.

I can't say about now days but they used to be actual guns. They were rented and used as period current weapons with blanks. I saw a video of Halle Barry at a range taking lessons with live ammo shooting three gun I think. They have to at least look like they're competent with firearms they are using whether they are or not. It's all smoke and mirrors. Whatever happened on that set is likely to remain a mystery for speculation unless someone fesses up and tells the truth.

Possibly someone on the set thought it would be neat to have his real gun in an actual movie and brought it in as a loaner. If so, it would have been the armorer's job to fill the cylinders with plumbers putty.

The newest rumor is that some of the crew used that gun for some actual target shooting the day before. If that is true, one scenario is that when they finished, they dropped the magazine, but failed to clear the live round in the chamber. And the gun was never inspected before the accident except to insert a magazine of blanks. (I'm assuming a semi-auto, but don't know.)
All of which violate many basic gun safety rules, as we know. But they didn't. Especially the idiot bimbo they hired as "armourer."

Reading Cali "news" sites this morning they keep using the phrase "the gun went off".
I keep calling them out on that bullshaitt.
