This is my take. If he was handled a real gun by mistake , vs a rubber gun/non working prop, I’d say zero liability.
But they all knew these were not toys. 100%.
Anytime you pull the trigger it’s on you.
well thank you for providing your well reasoned legal analysis on the legal standards and burdens of proof. Based on what I know, he would not be liable for the same reason the prosecution dropped the charges. Because his actions were industry standard and thus not negligent (again, based on what I know). Live bullets were not supposed to even be on set, and there were people employed for the express purpose of making sure that the actor doesn't have to be responsible for gun safety, because they are paid to do that. And that person or those people told him that the gun was unloaded. I don't see how you prove negligence if those are the facts.Quote:

But I grew up with guns. So maybe that's it.

Last thing you want is an actor fiddling around with a hand prop. You give it to them, they film the scene, you take it away from them.
When the hand prop is a gun, procedure is a little different as described way up in thread, but the principle is the same - don't ever let actors fuck around with shit.
Yes I've worked on movies and TV shows with guns involved.
Nobody is to blame, it's all just guns just doin' gun stuff.
Oh, someone is to blame and she's still up on charges. She's just not someone famous who made fun of a cult leader.Quote:

Except that person who hands you the gun and tells you it's unloaded? That's literally their job, they are being paid to do that very thing. And you may have grown up with guns, but they're paid to do that job precisely because not everyone is expected to have grown up with guns.Quote:

Weed Smoking hippy dad. Ok yeah...al right.
But guns?
The whole context of the situation is to simulate doing things with a 'gun' that are inherently dangerous and unsafe. Applying range customs and practices to this setting is absurd. This ain't plinking cans in the back woods.Quote:

You trust the fucking expert getting paid to do their job... your jerry cousin will only make the situation worse 999/1000 if he starts messing around with stuff.Quote:

The special prosecutors' decision to drop the charges against Alec Baldwin over the fatal on-set "Rust" shooting was made, at least in part, because investigators found the gun that fired to be mechanically improper, a source familiar with the matter told ABC News.
Investigators effectively conducted an autopsy of the Colt .45 revolver and found that there were worn joints and that the trigger control was not functioning properly, according to the source.
It became evident to prosecutors the gun could fire without pressure on the trigger, according to the source.

AB did say he never pulled the trigger - which a lot of “experts” then said wasn’t possible.
