No he is not. He’s an actor. He depends on a prop manager to give him the right gun. It is not his job to make sure it wasn’t loaded. Now, if it was a gun he brought from home that would be another story. Baldwin really has no liability in this and he shouldn’t. The prop master is another story.

Sounds like something he would say..

[Lurker]

The weapon was in his hands.

That makes it his responsibility.

Period.

With all due respect, I disagree. An adult under any circumstance not related to the actual production of the film has no business pointing a weapon at anyone and pulling the trigger, especially not knowing the status of the weapon. A basic gun safety class will teach this first.

Alec Baldwin is also a Producer of the movie.

Disagree. The #1 rule is that the person holding the gun must make sure it’s not loaded. If that individual does not, he must assume it is loaded and not point it at anyone. Actors not exempt from gun safety rules.
