He didn’t pick it up, it was handed to him(if the story I read is in fact accurate). It’s a movie set, not two retards in an abandoned building. Gun “rules” are not laws.
Negligence is law related- that the point of the previous postthe fella
Pojnting the gun, AND baldwin committed negligent homicide- doesnt matter if he picked the gun up,or was handed the gun, he still had a duty to check the gun. Everyonemthat handles a gun has thag responsibility, and can be charged for at least negligent homicide if they fail to do sohe handled it in an unsafe mannerevery gun is to,be handled as though it is loaded- efen prop guns capable of firing both blanks and live rounds, especially prop guns thst can do both- baldwin proves why that is so important.
He doesn’t get away with claiming he isn’t responsible because he was handed the gun.. he is directly responsb8le for not knowing the condition of the gun personally and pulling the trigger, as all as responsible.for awhile slew of other violations that resulted in the death of a person.
