As I understand it, there was a paid professional whose job it was to ensure the gun was safe. Perhaps Baldwin could have checked for himself (other say he absolutely should have) but he supposedly had a professional with more skills and knowledge tell him it was safe.
Should he trust the trained professional armorer or check the gun himself?
Should you trust the trained professional pilot or fly the plane yourself?
Should you trust your trained professional surgeon or operate on yourself?
Suing for hearing loss, temporary deafness, and vibrational shock?? Unfortunately, they will probably win.

Ridiculous analogies, since one cannot pilot a commercial plane.
And one cannot enter an OR and do their own surgery...
And I've had plenty of patients who've done their own "bathroom surgery" before coming to see me... It rarely works out well... But they do examine their own foot, see there's a problem and go from there. Just as a one should check out a gun wen it's handed to them...
Guns are a completely different animal.
There is a wise saying..."Trust, but verify..."
