Alec Baldwin FIRED 18 INCHES AWAY AT CINEMATOGRAPHER MIDSECTION

Lmao.

Not unless he put the live round in the firearm.

The armorer bears sole responsibility because she was responsible for ensuring firearms were secured when not in use, were not loaded when provided to actor, etc.

Alec walks as he rightly should and armorer is convicted.

Watch and learn!

you must know alec personally, to defend him even though we know what he did. all of you people are traitors. get out of our country. NOW.

Even a blank is moderately dangerous at that distance

He used a firearm the armorer gave him. All actors operate on the presumption that it is safe under those circumstances.

The dearth of logic or critical thinking skills here on glp, annoys me to no end.

I agree....I don't think anyone would want a blank shot their way at that range.

She directed him to pull the hammer back. Neither one of them expected it would cause the gun to release a dummy round or bullet after he took his finger off.. a live round must have been in the box of dummy rounds or maybe an entire box of live rounds was labeled as dummy and the armored loaded the gun with what she thought were dummy rounds.
Now she is suing the company that supplied the dummy rounds.
Will be interesting to see this case get solved.

It was taken from the armory while she was on lunch. Not responsible they broke protocol walked in grabbed a gun while she wasn’t there.

Sorry not her fault.

YOU don't know jack diddley SHIT about what really happened, so why don't you STFU, moran.

FACT.

No the armor was on lunch an assistant went and grabbed the gun for rehearsal. The entire process was fucked. Like 3 people touched the gun and none checked it.

I know someone doesn’t know what happened.

It wasn't under lock and key!

Are you serious!

So still armorer's fault

So even less possible it was his fault or responsibility.

Therefore anyone at anytime could have tampered with it, and anyone accepting a gun against protocol without checking it is liable.

She was responsible for doing a precheck in the presence of the actor and immediately receiving the firearm after its use. That did not occur and Alex being an actor for 40 years with dozens of gun films knew this.

You don’t grab a random gun from a production aid not check it and fire it in someone’s direction.

It's clear that Alec Baldwin either lacks any type of basic firearms training or was flagrantly negligent or both. Regardless, there is no good excuse for "an accident" like this -- totally preventable.

A few basics on gun safety for those who don't know:

1. Never point the muzzle in the direction of anything you don't intend to shoot and/or kill.
2. Know what is behind your target before firing.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
4. Keep the action open until ready to fire.
5. Keep the firearm unloaded until ready to fire.
6. Keep the safety on until ready to fire.
7. Always check to see if a firearm is loaded when you pick it up.
8. Always unload a gun and open the action before handing it off to someone.
9. Ensure that the ammunition you are using is suitable for the firearm you are using and the situation at hand.

....

Now, if you've read and internalized those items above, you probably know more than Alec Baldwin about firearms safety. If you can do those things when you handle a firearm, the probability that there could be a preventable accident is low.

The process ends with yearly gun safety instruction Alex had including never pointing any prop like gun in the direction of a person, always inspecting any prop gun yourself, and ONLY accepting a prop from a licensed armor while on set.

Hollywood required yearly gun safety training several production companies also have standards on top to prevent this. He had probably over 50 courses in his 40 years as an actor

Really. And what kind of dumbass points even an unloaded gun at someone?

Blanks don't go through a person and hit someone standing behind.

Armorer?Liberal anti firearm activist playing with guns is what happened.How about ANYONE on a movie set handling a real,not a prop if it actually can fire a live round,take a firearm safety class and pass a test.You know like any minor in a rural area has to to legally hunt.No matter the outcome this ignorant hostile clown is done.I love how all these actors like playing with firearms and make believe killing yet are anti 2nd and complete failures IRL.He has been in many films using firearms .He fucked up and needs to pay.Too bad he didn't point the gun at himself.

As an avid firearms enthusiast I don’t allow any of my young children to play video games with guns, or own a toy gun because…


A GUN is NEVER a prop!

So then that would mean he was flagrantly negligent and totally liable for manslaughter or worse.

A blank shoots hot gasses and sometimes a wad which can penetrate a skull. They can be lethal at close range. Don't let ignorance be an excuse for taking someone's life.

Sounds like MURDER Alec

You do not point a gun at someone you do not intend to shoot.

eat shit shilly fool.You know absolutely nothing about firearms or workplace safety for that matter.Using your logic presuming something is SAFE is beyond stupid.You obviously do not work with any tools vehicles equipment etc.You could not get a job in a dildo factory,well maybe in quality control and testing.

It's obvious who has firearms training and who doesn't on this thread.

I would think even with a blank that 18 inches is still too close to avoid gasses injury.

Go back to Europe.

All I am saying is he was absolutely aware
A he did not get it from the armorer
B he was handling a gun Outside the scheduled time.
C the designations for a safe set were not in place for gun use
D Breech of atleast 5 universal firearm safety points he was trained on
E he was the director who is required EVEN MORE training and paperwork to include a firearm scene. He was responsible for himself with the gun AND the whole GD safety process around guns!!!!
