Going back a bit...it was well advertised that he picked out the gun personally.

He also co-wrote "Rust"...a story about a young man who accidently kills someone and is on the run.

And his father...who he was close to...taught Riflery. To excuse him in any way as being "gun stupid" is ridiculous.

Yeah.

Still, if he’s focusing on the “acting” and not handling properly (finger inside for the shoot - no pun intended)

I don’t like him at all, though he was good in Red October.

He’s definitely a class A jerk. As time has shown.

"And his father...who he was close to...taught Riflery."

Don't know if true, but I read the young woman Armorer was the daughter of a famous Armorer of Hollywood. If true, she lost her career. HER first obligation was to ensure there were NO live rounds on set. Yes, I also read that some grips or such knew it was a real pistol and went out with their own live rounds for target shooting. They should also be held accountable.

Still, the Armorer not to check the weapon for live rounds that was supposedly sitting on some tray that she didn't keep in custody, was the most egregious of all the errors. Baldwin screwed up by pointing and pulling the trigger, half cocked or not or what ever he thought...he didn't check the rounds for live, dummies, or blanks. There are many guilty parties in this senseless death.

And yet Balwin is continuing the production of the movie. You'd think he would have the honor cut his losses. I can see the ending credit, "In Memory of Her Name"

It's amazing when watching all crime and war movies with guns blasting from every scene, no gets shot in real life.
