That sounds logical, but it's not. Many times, we have to rely on others to do their job. The armorer's job was to make sure the firearms were safe, secure, and bought to the set unloaded when needed. It's obvious none of these were met. I don't kick the tires before I get on a plane, smell the breath of my uber driver to make sure he was not drinking. Baldwin like many actors, are more worried if their hair, make-up, wardrobe is looking good and of course their lines which most of them blow over and over. I've seen many accidents on sets, none have resulted in death. Let's be honest if the actor was John Doe, it would barely have been a blip on the news. Look the industry pushes the envelope to satisfy the audience and have a time limit to get it in the can. That's the real problem here.

I can't handle the truth? Methinks you're responding to the wrong person...

Apparently, they were using the same weapons after hours for target practice...
Incredibly stupid...

Negligent homicide is a thing... Does not require "intent"...

It has just been opined that because the gun had been worked on since it left the factory (a very common occurrence), that it would be difficult to prove in a court of law... And even though it was a movie set, they still use REAL GUNS. They just use "blanks", which require a functioning gun in order to fire... Nothing like playing "cops and robbers"...

Guns are modified all the time. Parts wear out, so they are replaced. And yes, with a single action revolver, it is possible for the gun to fire if you pull the hammer back "almost" all the way, before you set the trigger, and then let it go. It'll drop on the primer, firing the round. That is "user error"...

Does the name "Nick Sandman" ring a bell?

The "gun modification" angle is BS and since Baldwin was screwing around with the gun (he admitted to practicing has "cross draw"), he most likely pulled back the hammer part way and dropped the hammer on the primer... Guns just don't "go off" unless something stupid is being done with them...
