This makes him even more negligent. They weren’t even filming. And it went off. “Mr. Baldwin was explaining how he was going to draw the gun, pulling it out from the holster, when the firearm discharged.” How do you fire a gun while pulling it out of a holster? And why was the gun pointed at crew? Even with blanks, that could be dangerous – and stupid.
“ How do you fire a gun while pulling it out of a holster?”
By pulling the trigger.
Explanation doesn’t make sense. I agree. In any case, he pulled the trigger when he shouldn’t have.
They called it a misfire. That's not what a misfire is, though.
Once long ago, during a rehearsal, Ed Harris pointed a gun at me. That's normal.
