Mebe Baldwin should practice the cross draw using just his finger. Then, move up using a stick. Then move up using a water gun.....
Now seeing the "God help me I'm dying" second picture, it seems more like a confession.
Maybe I missed it, but how many shots did Baldwin make and was the revolver a double action or a single action.
I thought most .45 revolvers were single action....like how they were originally.
She should have told him it was a class on how to cross dress. Then, he would have been there early.
And they want guns to appear realistic, so they tend to use real guns. Guns that make a big bang and a flash with lots of smoke and preferably with some (visible) recoil. All those objectives also could be met with a real gun that's been gimmicked so it can't fire a real bullet. Why they don't do this is God's own mystery.
Instead they use real guns that remain capable of firing a lethal projectile and then put them in the hands of actors who are unskilled in firearm safety. One would presume an industry that runs on the labors of limousine liberals is rife with individuals who think all guns are evil and so get apoplectic over the idea that they actually should learn something about them before using them on the set. Alec Baldwin obviously is the poster boy for this behavior since "Rust" would have made his eighth movie in which he used a firearm in his role, and he's still using them negligently.
So they use guns that look realistic because they are real, and they put them in the hands of actors who don't know Sweet Fanny Adams about firearm safety. What could possibly go wrong?
Their firewall against firearm misuse was supposed to be the studio's armorer, an ersatz firearms expert who is paid to coach the actors and assure that they only ever use the prop guns safely and responsibly. The military does something similar in its marksmanship training, and indeed at all live fire exercises. They have "Range Safety Officers" (RSOs) who control who can do what, and when. And it works well for the military but that's because on a military firing range, THE RSO IS GOD. His authority is not to be questioned and doing so will bring serious consequences.
And that's where Hollywoord is screwing the pooch. Their armorer has no real authority and is susceptible to the whims of both the actors and the studio. And the fickleness of both were in evidence in this tragedy because Baldwin erroneously believed the gun was loaded with a blank because he was told it was (neglecting to look for himself) and the studio had forbidden the armorer access to the set when the shooting occurred because of Covid restrictions.
Through negligent use of a firearm, Alec Baldwin killed a woman. But he only ever found himself in that predicament because the studio had allowed several potential single points of failure in a safety system that should have bad none. They allowed an actor to blow off firearm safety training from their professional expert and treated her like so much excess baggage when she should have been accorded the respect and the unquestioned authority of a Range Safety Officer.
Baldwin killed a woman, but he had help from the studio.
At the very least he should go on trial for manslaughter!
It’s very bizarre
Exactly!
Baldwin fired one shot. The revolver was a double-action mechanism.
Alec doesn’t look too well.
He looks guilty.
You have a little (a lot?) of movie set experience. Curious as to your views on the whole Baldwin affair?
Alec Baldwin was "the studio". He was the producer.
Everything that's come out so far is that the revolver was single-action.

As a single-action revolver, Alec Baldwin didn't just depress the trigger, he pulled the hammer back too.
My 2 cents. As a narcissist, its always about him, he is the victim. Earlier today I was watching youtube and from what I saw, his wife had posted these pictures to her Instragram as his drawings. Why? What possible purpose? Is he trying to make people think hes lost his mind and needs hospitalization? My assumption is he is not getting the pity he believes is his due; therefore, he needs to act out for attention. He has gone full mental mode. In the drawings, I bet he is portrayed as the victim dying and the female is a public who doesn’t care about him. All this along with his Splenda packet is supposed to bring on a gush of pity.
The man is evil. He’s a sick, evil narcissist. No empathy. None for the lives he has destroyed. None for the little boy his negligent actions left motherless. Its all about Alec Baldwin being the victim who is dying due to an uncaring society..
