Hilaria Baldwin / Hillary Hayward-Thomas and Alec Baldwin

I don't know if it is a good point.

Then you could also say why didn't the people the gun was pointed it check it.
And you could also say why didn't Brandon Lee check the guns knowing that lots of actors will shoot at him with different guns.

Also didn't some actor shoot himself in the head on a film set?

Nope, the assistant director handed it to Alec and shouted out Cold gun, this means the gun isn't loaded with anything, not blanks, not live bullets, nothing. So, did the armorer tell the assistant director it was a cold gun, obviously he didn't check. I think the blame will be put between these two, but obviously it was a sloppy low budget shoot.

I’m not sure- the reporting just indicates cold gun means blanks. The report in this links states so very clearly https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ored-golden-rule-gun-safety-never-loaded.html

“There should have been blanks in the gun, the on-set armorer's job is to check that before handing the weapon over,' Tristan told Dailymail.com.”

The whole production sounds a nightmare.

Allegations about the assistant director and his attitude to firearm safety

Cannot get that link to open.

If Baldwin isn't criminally liable then she is.
