“And I cocked the gun and go, ‘Can you see that? Can you see that? And I let go of the hammer on the gun, and the gun goes off.”

It won’t save him from a civil lawsuit.

Saw a couple headlines. He say he did nothing wrong.
He’s just a victim in all of this
Piece of schiff actor is acting the role his PR team and lawyers have written for him
Regardless, that ain’t gonna play in the Civil suits

Honest officer, just because I was driving fast while texting, that doesn’t really mean I killed that girl crossing the street when I drove over her.

I’ve been wondering how many live rounds might have been in the cylinder. If what he’s saying is true, the hammer was resting on one. If he’d fully cocked the hammer, it would have rotated the cylinder to what kind of round? Looks like it’s going to be laid to incompetence on the armorer’s part, or sabotage.

Has anyone determined if this was a replica/prop gun, or was it a genuine antique?

“I didn’t know the gun was loaded. I just pulled the hammer back and let go of it. I didn’t actually shoot it. It just went off.”
Sounds like premeditated murder to me.

The schadenfreude is strong on this one.
Alec Baldwin is big arrogant wuss, always was, and he's going down big time.
Even his Hollywood 'friends' won't help him.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I own two Ruger single action revolvers. I bought both new, one about 1970 ((yep, I’m old as dirt) and the other about twenty years ago. The older gun doesn’t have the pin protective shield and should be carrier with the hammer on an empty cylinder. The newer gun does have the firing pin shield and can be safely carried with all six cylinders loaded and hammer down. I don’t know if revolvers used in western scenes are actual old western pieces or period correct appearing revolvers with modern inner mechanisms.
Also, there’s a lot not yet Know about The who, what, when of the live ammo on site. I don’t think there was any malice intended by anyone. Guessing it’s a case of gross negligence and incompetence.

Whoever handed poor Alec that fully semi-automatic revolver is a cold-blooded murderer.

I call BS on this.
He’s rationalizing and making excuses.

What if they'd handed him a machete, instead?
