Apparently six crew members walked off earlier in the day because of unsafe conditions and there had been three accidental discharges prior. Low budget film being shot on the cheap.

Absolutely horrific.

'Rust' crew describes on-set gun safety issues and misfires days before fatal shooting

At least one of the camera operators complained last weekend to production managers about gun safety on the set.

Hanlon's Razor to start. When you want something bad you get it bad.

That’s the first I’ve read of it but that sounds fishy.

The lawsuits are going to be interesting.

He held the gun, pulled the trigger. He should have checked it himself.

Seems like manslaughter is a possibility. Even if he was just screwing around

That’s not the way it works.

Well that’s wrong. Anytime you are handed a gun you should check.

If he jokingly pulled the trigger at them to playfully spook them....

That's dumb. John wick pauses checks the gun he is just handed and proceeds to light them up

If you can’t see the difference between on set and the movies…

Movies are made on set. Do you think every gun that gets exchanged is checked by every person that holds it? No of

I'll bet they will now. Should have been before. They're guns.Trust, but verify.

If you are using real guns then you are foolish not to.

I'm sure you don't support movies like John wick that dont follow those rules.

Baron

I support movies that don't actually kill people. My standard is higher for

I agree the law should be applied fairly and most don't seem to understand the law here

Are you being serious?

blueaussie

10/23/21 1:52pm

Are you serious? You do understand how guns are handled on sets like John wick right?

Baron

10/23/21 1:59pm

Yeah I’m serious. Once filming starts then it is different than prior to filming

blueaussie

He might not, but I would bet my life worth that you don't either.

That isnt how gun safety works. You are responsible.

Maybe Baldwin the actor is innocent, but Baldwin the producer?

He didn't pull the trigger. The article OP linked says it was an accidental

I'm guessing there's something broken about the gear they were using, because

As an aviator I hate to say this...but usually pilot error.

Holy crap. Not good

Why would there be any real ammunition at a movie set?

This is my thought over and over again.
