Would be a different story of any of us accidentally shot someone.
ABC: Judge dismisses Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' case after defense claims evidence was withheld.

This is almost a sure thing.
Those elite weasels with their gun hate and armed body guards pretty much walk away from anything. And some people even here protect this clown actor as if he is some demigod. The oddest thing is these actors want to tell US how to live and who to vote for. One look at their house should tell everyone to do the opposite.

And in playing a role in a gunfight - P75 that AB would miss
Sounds like an issue under civil rather than criminal law.
There is a lot of that going on w/r to this IMHO. If this was someone with a different political lean, many would have a different opinion I surmise.
All day every day in industrial safety. I'm in the mining industry, a competent person checks a lot of things on site that I have to trust without verifying more than more simple safety checks that I am qualified/allowed to perform; with that said, if I think something isn't safe I a more than within my rights to say "no I'm not doing xyz until it's fixed. It's why management/foremans can be held personally responsible in mining accidents/deaths of individuals even when they themselves played a role in their own accident.
Precisely (live round comment) - having those on set and using the firearm in question for shooting live rounds as I understand it was gross negligence by the armorer. On AB, I have no comment b/c his political beliefs etc. aren't part of this/no cares to the core issue where of who is to blame, the case, etc.
So you're saying that the judge wouldn't protect your rights and also dismiss the case over prosecutor shenanigans?
You would do your cursory visual and fit checks but after that, if it fails and you followed all procedures, the blame would go to the CP/manufacturer/management, not the end user. That's how the mining industry works/MSHA sees it.
I foresee an OJ Simpson situation where he skated on the criminal charges, but follow-up civil suite pretty much bankrupted him. (The only reason the juice didn't end up in the poor house and the reason he moved to Florida was because there was a % limit his NFL Pension could be garnished and he lived off that).
Maybe, but we would, as gun owners have all our guns gone and been in the hoosegow this entire - what 3+ years???
Yes, 43 fatalities due to unnatural cause of death on sets since 1990, with very few gun-related ones among those.
Exactly what I am saying. Any of us would have the book thrown at us as we are not part of the elite.
That was the point.
I can kinda agree with this. I think it was a tragic accident that no one intended to happen, and it's very unfortunate for the girl that died and her loved ones. However, looking at it from the mindset of a gun enthusiasts, I ALWAYS do a safety check on any gun handed to me, no matter the circumstance. Treat every gun as if it was loaded. Don't point it at someone even when you've double and tripled checked that it's not loaded. It's pretty basic gun safety, and perhaps if some people properly educated themselves on gun safety rather than condemning them, this accident could've been avoided. They let someone who's anti-gun, with no formal training in handling a firearm safely, play around with a gun, and it resulted in someone getting killed. If Alec instead respected guns, and followed proper safety procedures, he would've caught that it had a live round in it beforehand and avoided this. Therefore, I feel there is severe neglect on Alec's part, neglect to practice proper safety with a firearm, and thus is as culpible as the armorer.

In California you'd be taken in custody and likely jailed, at least temporarily, for shooting someone who broke into your home and walked into your bedroom at 2:30AM.

Keep in mind this is a known hot head - That generally translates to impatient, stubborn, and not approachable - so, not sure he’d even had accepted training in advance …

Yep, just finished a 15:20 flight and did not sleep well. Even with a huge selection - it was hard to find movies that were not “action packed” with physical fighting, extreme stunts, guns by the dozens, other weapons, and some gawd awful driving/stunts …
