Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Baldwin sounds like a big OOOPS

The armorer on the set of the film "Rust" said she was not called to inspect the gun that ultimately fired a live round, fatally wounding cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.


Armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed issued a statement Saturday in response to a legal filing a day earlier in which Alec Balwin said Hutchins told him to cock the gun.


"Mr. Baldwin knew that he could never point a firearm at crew members under any circumstances and had a duty of safety to his fellow crew members," Gutierrez Reed said.

"Yet he did point the gun at Halyna before the fatal incident against all rules and common sense."

Baldwin's version of the moments that led up to the fatal shooting last October in New Mexico included an arbitration demand filed by Baldwin's lawyer and obtained by CNN. In it, Baldwin claimed he asked Hutchins if he should cock the gun and that she told him to do it.

Gutierrez Reed said Baldwin and others on the set of a church "had a duty and responsibility to call Hannah in for inspection of the gun and safety instruction before any gun scene was conducted."

"Hannah was not called into the Church before the impromptu gun scene rehearsal and she should have been," the statement said.

Gutierrez Reed said she had no knowledge of what was happening inside the church set that day and Baldwin was responsible for helping maintain the safety of the crew.

In Balwin's filing, the actor said he asked Hutchins whether she wanted to see him cock the gun, as the script required -- and that she said yes.

"Baldwin tipped the gun down somewhat so that the lens of the camera would be able to focus on his hand's action on the top of the gun," the filing said.

"While performing this action, Baldwin asked Hutchins, 'Am I holding it too far down?' and 'Do you see that?' Hutchins responded that she could see Baldwin's action from her angle. Baldwin then pulled back the hammer, but not far enough to actually cock the gun. When Baldwin let go of the hammer, the gun went off."

In a statement, attorneys for Hutchins' family accused Baldwin of "trying to avoid liability and accountability for his reckless actions."

"Baldwin's disclosure of personal texts with Matt Hutchins is irrelevant to his demand for arbitration and fails to demonstrate anything other than Hutchins' dignity in his engagement with Baldwin," the family statement said.

"It is shameful that Baldwin claims Hutchins' actions in filing a wrongful death lawsuit derailed the completion of 'Rust.' The only action that ended the film's production was Baldwin's killing of Halyna Hutchins."

this sounds completely believable. and that sack of schit is trying to blame everyone but himself. including the woman he killed. he's got some real fuggen balls.

Baldwin just keeps digging his hole deeper and deeper.

L.W.

Ponder what the cylinder of a revolver does when the hammer is pulled back short of cocking the piece.

Dan,

On my Ruger SAs, the cylinder does not begin to rotate until the hammer is half way back. The hammer could fall back onto a live cartridge and fire.

I have never held an actual SAA in my hand. Is it different?

Of course the Ruger transfer bar would also necessitate a booger picker on the trigger before a discharge could occur.

Even if Baldwin's revolver had no transfer bar safety, and even if he never touched the trigger, that does not relieve him of responsibility for negligent homicide. He is the idiot who pointed the gun at the victim and activated the firing sequence.

Ultimately it was who pointed the muzzle owns the responsibility.

Hopefully he digs himself into a cell.

Has New Mexico finished that investigation yet?

Crickets.

Bingo. And fired without checking it.

pass the buck......

Fined the set for unsafe firearm safety

pull the trigger you own the bullet

He’s too fuggin stupid to shut his pie hole. And also a raging narcissist that believes he did no wrong and is untouchable.
Almost Anywhere else, he’d already be charged with negligent homicide at the very least.

Being the Libertard Schitthole That is Santa Fe, the POS will probably escape with a slap on the wrist, and issued an apology from the Santa Fe DA and Mayor for interrupting his “movie” career.

Hopefully, the Civil Suit will bankrupt his sorry ass and his dumbass Fake “Spanish” bride. Read the other day she’s about to pop out the 7th Baldwin spawn.

Actors are too important to go to jail. Ask them.

I just tried a SAA, cykinser lock disengages, cylinder starts to rotate at half way, rotates to battery at full cock and cylinder lock re-engaged. Letting the hammer go catches on half cock or safety notch UNLESS the trigger is held back.

He was a lowlife before the accident and now he's doubled down.

New Mexico turfed part of it off to the FBI.
