If that's what the "armorer" looked like I'm shocked there weren't more dead. So I guess that "movie" won't be released on DVD.
Say did anyone do time for killing Bruce Lee's kid way back when? I guess I'll google it.

Alec demands a speedy trial. Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter on Friday in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust” in 2021.
It is the second time a grand jury has indicted Baldwin for Hutchins’ death.
Baldwin was originally charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter on Jan. 31, 2023, and the charges were later dropped in April 2023.
Alec Baldwin demands speedy trial after involuntary manslaughter charge in ‘Rust’ shooting
Alec Baldwin responded to the new involuntary manslaughter charge filed against him last week with his own demand for a speedy trial, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.0 -
No double jeopardy? Also no more SNL Trump?

Double jeopardy does not apply here, he was never found innocent. He just used his power and money to get someone to drop the charges! Prob will do the same thing this time too, but it will cost him more this time.

I am not familiar with the film industry so can't really guess on the process. I've always pictured when a firearm is needed, that the armorer retrieves the item from a locked location, inspects the item visually, then directly hands it to the person needing it for the scene.
If that is the case, then at least ONE of them needs to be responsible. I don't like Baldwin, but if the scenario is like I described and has always been that way, I could see him taking the armorer's word for it. Even then, he would still bear some responsibility and should have admitted to pulling the trigger.
For all of us familiar with firearms, we know to assume a gun is loaded and ALWAYS check.
Interesting somewhat related incident...
On my wife's side, a family member and his son were getting ready to go out hunting. He was probably 12 at the time. Like they always had (but shouldn't), they loaded the magazines in their guns, put the safety on, and cycled one in the chamber. Only this time, a .22lr went off the son was holding. Of course the dad was ticked. There's now a hole in their kitchen cabinet. He goes off on the son telling him that he must have been holding the trigger down when he cycled it because guns don't go off on their own. Next, he cycles the action to show the son and as you might have guessed, it went off again putting another hole in the cabinets.
Turned out a little brass chip of a casing was stuck in the sear and wouldn't allow it to engage properly. As you can likely guess, they no longer load the chamber in the house.

The armorer hands the gun to the actor. However, in this case, the armorer was not present. It was another assistant who handed the gun to Baldwin.
Of course, the armorer should have been present, and as Producer it was Baldwin's duty to see that the armorer was on duty when guns were handled.
