Baldwin should go ahead and get his teardrop tattoo now to enhance his gang cred when he hits prison.

The fix is in for Baldwin.

1. Soros DA in Santa Fe county (also a lesbian) will not prosecute

2. FBI in charge of gun and ammo investigation

Baldwin is doing a media sob story to inject reasonable doubt into this tragedy.

He’s trying to save his ass and put it on everyone else.

I thought it was a single action cowboy gun.

I believe you are correct.

Perhaps the replica antique revolver did not have that protection.

From what I understand it was a single action revolver (western stile) that means you have to pull the hammer back to cock it.

Anyone who have ever fired one knows once cocked its unstable and dropping it or doing anything stupid it will go off. There are legions of negligent discharges associated with people trying to de-cock a single action revolver.

My single action repro colt 1851 has almost what I would call a hair trigger.

Uh, the weapon he was holding uses centerfire ammunition, not rimfire.

An in all my years, I have never heard or read about spontaneous ignition in ammunition.

“Modern revolvers have protection to prevent the gun from going off if something hits the hammer, for instance if you drop the gun. Perhaps the replica antique revolver did not have that protection.”

First I heard that he “DROPPED” the gun! /s

“Sheriff responds”

I wish. No arrests made, Alec has fled the state.

Basic gun safety: never point a gun at anyone you don’t intend to shoot. Even the movie industry says that gun exchanges are carefully staged to appear as if antagonists are firing directly at each other while actually angling their aim away from other actors. Baldwin says he was practicing a cross draw while anonyamous crew members say he shot directly at the camera where the cinematographer and director were stationed killing one and wounding the other. I believe Baldwinnis guilty of manslaughter having ignored basic gun safety. But he’ll probably get a lesser charge since live ammo was probably provided by the armourer.
