When will Alec Baldwin be jailed for manslaughter? He did pull the trigger!

He didn't check the gun, he pulled trigger and he killed someone. Sounds like murder or manslaughter to me.

If we was Joe Public he would be in deep shit.

You may be correct GM of course. I just wonder if an actor on a film set is expected to check the ammunition in the gun? Wouldn't it be dangerous to rely on an actor to identify if ammo is live? I just wonder if the responsibility sits with them?

Technicians set up all types of explosives, firearms, bombs and other devices for floor managers/directors to dictate what happens - and for actors to do what they're told, whilst remembering their lines/script. If Baldwin is to be blamed, others should be brought to account also.

Most actors and crew dry fire the firearm 6x each to make the sure the gun is empty. I was told by my father that is "No such thing as an empty gun" I have stuck by that motto for decades. I remember seeing my parents cleaning their gun collection, I was giving a speech about firearm safety and it took out the any curiosity in me. So a firearm was a just farm tool to them just like a shovel.
