[VIDEO] Actor John Schneider Just Blew a Million Holes In Alec Baldwin’s Absurd New “Rust” Story

The question is, what does Tom Wopat have to say about the situation?

I don't know when they started putting a safety on the triggers, but one would think that a modern replica would have a safety.

I haven't heard a single word about the safety.

Anyone today would have the safety ON, even if the gun were
empty, unless they were a halfwit or a murderer.

Didnt watxh the whole video but
Most guns don't have trigger safeties, that's a glock thing because glocks don't have other kinds of safeties. so glocks won't go off from anything but pulling the trigger, all modern handguns are drop safe, 1890s revolvers weren't

on an original colt style single action revolver the firing pin was right on the hammer and there wasn't a cross bar safety to stop something hitting the hammer from setting the gun off reproductions can be either, someone said pietos(sp) don't have them and Umberto's(sp) do if I'm remembering right.
I'm not an expert on revolvers but maybe if he pulled the hammer back and dropped it it would fire. I don't know how half cock notches work so maybe I'm wrong.

They still broke just about every firearm safety rule their is to get to that point and a movie crew gun lover on ar15.com was talking about many many layers of safety rules they would have had to completely ignore. Also shown by crew quitting because of safety concerns earlier that week.

How about this? Treat every gun as if it is loaded and never, ever, point it at anything that you do not want to kill or destroy, whether “acting” or not.

Problem solved.

I don't think Alec intentionally killed Halyna. I think Alec should have quit movies a long time ago. He should be charged with manslaughter and spend a year or two in prison.

turn bolt ignition is possible,but remote but could happen, really remote in a replica revolver, with reload ammo ,but he would have to cock the hammer to rotate the cylinder with intent to pull the trigger at some point , the remark cold gun , why is this warning necessary unless he might be handed a hot gun, he might be laying the grounds for a traumatic amnesia defence by claiming he didn't pull the trigger when in fact its unlikely the gun went off any other way

There are a lot of witnesses to pay off or threaten.
Also, he is not important enough for the media to cover for him like this! why? Hes a has been. Whats the reward.

THIS..WAS NOT THE ONE I WAS LOOKING FOR...UH,CAPMAN. HELP ME.

Fuck him, I want Cooters take!

Boss Hogg paid off the District Attorney!

Would like to see a Boss Hogg presser.

Gun safety 101

Every gun is loaded

Idiot, Old revolvers or their copies and een modern ones don't have safeties

I learned this at 5 years old

That's called a "Harold Turner".

I dont understand why they would even have a real gun when a fake gun would do the job in a movie

Cheaper. (And I agree with you, but for the greedy studios, it come down to cost savings.)

Wasn't the person he killed the one that had a lot of dirt and was making a movie?

Alec is friends with the Clintons. Halyna's husband was suing the Clinton Foundation. The optics don't look good.

The hammer is technically the safety if I'm not mistaken, he charged it by cocking the hammer and pulling the trigger.

So simple right?

Must be why thatis the first and second rule of gun safety.

Idiot, most modern revolvers dont have safeties either.

The REAL issue is WHO THE FUCK BROUGHT A LIVE ROUND, who put it in and WHO FUCKING PULLED THE TRIGGER?

Im guessing its all the same person that displayed this gross negligence.

There is no reason to bring live ammunition to a movie set.
Its intentional gross negligence by any interpretation.
