Incorrect.
The armorer is responsible for preparing the weapons, maintaining, servicing, inventory, obtaining, TRAINING and storage.
Just like everywhere else, on the set anyone who handles a weapon is responsible for the safe handling of that weapon.
When Baldwin took physicial possession of that firearm he became responsible for every shot fired from that weapon.
He did not verify the weapon safe before he pulled the trigger.
That is negligence.
Someone died due to that negligence.
Negligent Homeside. <> I do not excuse the armorer but the ultimate responsibility has to be with the man in possession of the firearm at the time.
As a gun owner I can not excuse anyone of this responsibility.
If you pick up a firearm you accept the responsibility.
“When Baldwin took physicial possession of that firearm he became responsible for every shot fired from that weapon.”
That is simply not true under the law. Possession does not mean responsibility. A pilot is responsible for the safety of his passengers, but if it was the mistake of a mechanic that caused a fatal accident it’s the mechanic not the pilot who is responsible.
Baldwin going to jail would be a joy, but the law itself matters.
