Basic firearm safety.
From what I've read, it's supposed to be checked with the crew/actor present.

If that was not done, the actor should have done it himself...

Here's a question...

If the scene required Baldwin to play Russian Roulette with the gun, do you think he would have simply trusted someone who claimed "cold gun"? Or would he have checked it himself, to make sure?
