This was a practice/rehearsal for a scene where no gun is fired. Why was he handed a real gun at all? They have non-functional replicas just for this purpose, most gun scenes are shot with fake/rubber guns, even the scenes with gun shots have muzzle flash/gunfire sounds added in post.

[@LizRealGirlBeauty]

I think the big issue that seems to be glossed over is that this was a tech rehearsal. That's why the armorer wasn't there, no gun was supposed to be used! It's crazy that everyone acts like this was a filmed scene, when it wasn't! It makes it even worse, they're not even running the scene, they're figuring out where to put the lights and where the camera should be!

[@FirstLast-il6ok]

Exactly and him making it her fault by saying she was setting up the shot AFTER he said she was reviewing the camera ON A MONITOR lol there was no reason she had to be standing there to review a director’s monitor. It was sloppy on all their parts and goes to the general recklessness on that set.

[@PierceThirlen2]

Long before Alec Baldwin was born, the gun safety rules were: ALWAYS treat EVERY gun as if it was loaded, and NEVER point a gun at ANYTHING or ANYONE that you do NOT intend to shoot. It may not have been Baldwin's JOB to check the gun, but it was his RESPONSIBILITY to check the gun. Alec was merely the LAST person in the chain to make sure that the gun was NOT loaded!!! Alec Baldwin did NOT check the gun to see if it was loaded and he pointed the gun at someone....... GUILTY!

[@SecularReasons]

"Guilty" doesn't really mean anything. Guilty of being stupid and murder are entirely different things

[@rrteppo]

[@PierceThirlen2]

@@SecularReasons An accident is when an out of control semi-truck crashes through your wall, hits your elbow, the gun goes flying across the room, then the trigger catches on a coat hook on the wall, and the gun discharges and shoots somebody. What Baldwin did is negligent discharge if he did NOT intend to fire the gun, or murder if he intended to fire the gun.

[@truanashabadapressure6621]

I’m an actor who’s been a professional fight director for the stage. Alec Baldwin was negligent.

[@miinyoo]

I think no one disagrees with you. But is he criminally negligent as in time served in a cage? That's for a trial if charged and I think there's enough reasonable doubt to dismiss criminality. Civilly, the guy is screwed.

[@sarahbrown5073]

When Nate asks, "Is that what's expected"? When talking about actors checking the fires they hold for rounds.... As a firearm owner, I would say....Yes. That's what's expected of every single person who holds a firearm. I don't understand what makes actors so special?

I watched Branca's analysis and it's entirely up to Santa Fe to decide to bring charges of criminality. But that's not where this road ends. In civil court where the bar of guilt is much much lower, Baldwin's ass will be dragged roped and tied behind the proverbial horse.

[@pronoe]

Doesn't matter if she was instructing him to point the gun at her. That is still reckless and negligent. Look at the Monalisa Perez case.

[@MicheleBrooks6]

I’m sorry, but all gun owners know that even if we see someone rack the slide and can see there is no bullet in the chamber, you are still required to personally check it yourself. If production staff want to use real guns, then everyone on set should be trained to check the guns each and every time you pick it up or take it from someone else.

[@TheGeneralWorldofTanksReplays]

What I love about these panels is that they dissect the facts of a case to get to the heart of the matter. That's why so many people were interested in Rekieta's streams, because when you have so many intelligent lawyers together there's plenty of room for amusement.

[@FirstLast-gw5mg]

Nate's comment about "oh well if the policy on the set was that they hand you the gun, tell you it's cold and you don't check it yourself, that kind of resolves them of liability for not checking it" doesn't hold water when THE WEEK BEFORE THERE WAS A NEGLIGENT DISCHARGE OF A LIVE ROUND UNDER EXACTLY THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. Even if they had such a policy, it clearly wasn't adequate for safety, and they should've changed it after the first negligent firearms discharge (I refuse to call it "accidental;" any firearms discharge is negligent if it's not intended). Alec Baldwin as a key producer/director should've been involved in fixing the lax safety policies that allowed the first negligent discharge so that the second never occurs.

[@bennycase8473]

Thanks, LegalBytes! I agree with Nate, chain of custody is very important as is protocols on set, SAG protocols, and reasonable care.

He also would have a sore hand if it fired without being ready for it .45 colt is a serious round ,it went through 2 people.....

[@bbg5000]

A hot gun includes a gun with a blank. He likely thought it was a blank when he shouted about being handed a hot gun. And most of the crew likely thought this was an incident similar to the one on the set of the Crow with Brandon Lee. The idea that there was an actual live round in a gun on a movie set is mind boggling.

[@juliansymons565]

heres 2 questions...1.if in that scene they were shooting gun wasnt meant to be fired (although supposedly it fired itself) then why was there ANY bullets in gun (blanks or real) as no need to be. 2.he says he never checks gun in any movies and never has?...isnt there a standard movie union safety process to deal with gun handling?...so he never followed safety gun protocol in any movies?

[@sarahbrown5073]

They weren't shooting a scene, they were rehearsing. So, yes, the firearm should have been empty. Not even loaded with blanks. If he "never checks", that just means he's always irresponsible. This time his irresponsibility cost someone their life. That's criminal negligence.

[@JuanTorres-ny9ff]

That guy is a terrible individual, how can someone be so reckless with the lives of other people? for example, if someone for whatever reason carries a knife, this person must be careful with the wellbeing of the other people around, let's not say guns. Adults can't behave like children, we must be responsible individuals.

[@MajorOutage]

From what I've understood from discussions on on-set gun safety, the minimum general rule is there's supposed to always be at least two people checking any gun. The armorer is first, then they hand it to someone else to check it again. Whether that second person is the actor, or in this case it would have been the AD, it's still not supposed to be just one person. The AD is the real piece of shit in this situation. His statement that it was never his job to check the gun. Well then, buddy, you never had any business touching it. He also seems to be the only one saying the armorer was even present on that set at that time.

[@LizRealGirlBeauty]

It was a tech rehearsal. They were figuring out the blocking, where the lights were going to be and where the cameras were and how they were moving. There was no reason to even cock it.

[@wally626v_m7]

I think they were doing inset shots, at least rehearsing them. It is possible the camera was close enough they would have wanted dummy rounds in it so it looked loaded. Dummy rounds look like real rounds but do not have gun powder or good primers. On the Hanley channel they mentioned it is common to fill with BB’s to make sound. So it can quickly be verified they are dummies.

[@plissken2156]

It's ironic. For years, Alec's been attacking the press for twisting the truth around and misleading the public by reporting false information - all for the greater good of serving themselves. That's pretty much what he's doing now with this interview.

If the hammer is not fully cocked, the chambered round would not be rotated fully in the cylinder to make it able to be fired. Also, if u shoot someone with .45cal, you 1000% KNOW you shot them. C'mon Alec, this is beyond the suspension of disbelief.

[@jamieparrish5143]

I’ve been around guns my whole life. I don’t feel confident in my knowledge of chambering and firing different types of guns. The ONE THING I’ve always been taught is to treat every gun as if it was loaded and NEVER point your gun at an unintended target. The gun is pointed down until you’re ready to aim. I’ve been handed guns at many times, I’ve always been shown that the gun chamber, clip, etc was empty… or that it is loaded, one in the chamber or none in the chamber and you need to load (cock) the chamber. I don’t understand how someone points a gun without being explicitly shown that it’s empty.

[@2steps1ceps38]

[@2steps1ceps38]

@@jamieparrish5143 so, a lot of construction tools have the same type of pistol grip and trigger that a pistol has, from drills to saws to spotlights. gun owners will hold their trigger finger straight out until they intend to use it, non gun owners will hold their finger on the trigger, just not depressing it. the difference is a HUGE detail, because if you flinch, you trip/slip/fall, anything outside your control can cause you to depress the trigger, power tools are significantly less dangerous than firearms though so you can tell who has experience with firearms and who doesn't by their trigger finger. it's not conscious, it's like you said: respect for dangerous objects

A woman died, and all he had to do is simply CHECK the GUN. 2-3 seconds of his “ precious” time! Also: There is no way there wasn’t any kind of kickback from that bullet being fired. IF ANYONE at all knew that there was a possible live round fired, It was Alec! He went into great detail of how he had to use “ acting” to create a fake kickback from a non- firing gun.

[@sisaacs918]

Thanks for all you do, LegalBytes!

[@kinesis28]

Excellent video. One thing I'd like to ask Nate. Assuming you're an actor on a movie, someone hands you a gun before your scene and they claim the gun is safe. In the following scene you're about to film you have to place the gun to your head and pull the trigger. Would you check that the weapon is safe yourself, or trust what you're being told? I would argue that whether you're aiming at yourself, or at others, that ultimately it's your responsibility to check it before doing anything irrespective of what you're been told by others.

[@lexijones8414]

John Schneider says exactly the same exact thing!!! He did a full video on it, and he was on Hazzard for years!!!! He said he used to do this even in the 70’s. He always checked the gun EVERY time. If Baldwin didn’t want to check the firearm he should have known to bring Hannah back to the set before each use. He knows better!!!!!!!! Halls should have called her on walkie to set. IATSE is also a union who has specific protocols. The fact all of the other misfires were ignored is HUGE. The attitude he had about Clooney was ridiculous. He is the one who is always talking crap about guns in media. He is soo hypocritical. I think he is going on the “I never pulled the trigger” after his lawyer told him to say that when the lawyer saw the “in” with there being other “accidental discharges” in writing.

He refers to his wife as "Hillaria", yet her Boston born name is "Hillary". Prime example of stealing culture or trying to hide behind it. "My wife is fake Spanish, so I'm a caring person." Perhaps his wife has indeed legally changed her name so I may be wrong.

[@AnimaVox_]

That's not how they actually spelled it, right? Because that makes no sense. The real name is spelled Hilaria; the double 'L' in Spanish makes the English 'Y' sound. Either way, still embarrassing to lie about one's ethnicity. But not nearly as embarrassing as lying about killing someone and playing the blame game over it.

Alec Baldwin was not surprising, but I was not expecting Jake Gyllenhaal dressed as an elf.

[@miketheviking_]

It was cut out of this 3 part set but Baldwin was asked if he felt guilt. He said “No no, I feel that there is, that that that someone is responsible for what happened. I can’t say who that is but I know it’s not me.”

[@LizRealGirlBeauty]

That's horrible.

That’s right . I heard that too . That’s what I wonder most about it , that he does not feel guilty . Strange it missing

Man, I didn't even see this until 11 minutes after the stream ended. Rackets brought me to your stuff!

[@HeatherRose2023]

Movie sets and Hollywood do not operate under a separate reasonable person standard than any other place in the US. There is no privilege simply because a person is an actor.

[@victorialynnhickman]

The morning that the news broke my first thought was , As much as I don’t like him, I feel for him if this was an accident out of his control. Now that he has done this interview I feel he is trying to get in front of this in regards to public opinion. It was hard for me to believe his emotion wasn’t acting since he’s a seasoned actor. I hope the trial is publicized so we can review all of the evidence to know the truth.

Learned about you from Nick’s Rittenhouse coverage, subscribed due to a law-cat clip. 😸

[@littledancingfawn]

This is so simple going forward. On every movie with a gun, every person that goes on the movie set from actors who may never touch the gun to catering should have a gun safety license. The license should either be per movie or yearly. Even the extra/ background actors, part time crew and visitors on set must be licensed. Charge $10-20 max for the course and I’m sure an NRA instructor would happily do it and would be completely worth it too. This would also educate a lot of people. So when they complain about guns at the Oscars, getting an Emmy or just speaking to reporters they’ll know what they’re talking about. They’ll know not to say “ assault riffle “ for AR. They’ll know, if told, that the majority of deaths are from handguns not riffles etc.

Alec Baldwin is full of crap. He was in Mission Impossible - Fallout and Rogue Nation. He was in scenes where there were guns in them as well as being fired. The master armorer of both those movies is Simon Atherton.

[@pronoe]

Whether or not the gun could fire when dropping the hammer, or whether or not he had the finger on the trigger are moot points. "Don't point your gun at anything you are not willing to destroy", "Treat all gun as if they're loaded" and simply checking the gun someone hands you are some of the most basic rules of firearm safety. Even I, who live in a country with no easy access to firearm and who has never held one before, know about those basic rules. Halyna was using a movable monitor when she was framing the shot, Baldwin could easily have asked her to move away from the line of fire and none of this would have happened. He was being reckless, period.

[@oldladyfish]

is that a heartbeat sound affects on that video? OMG !

[@oldladyfish]

Last comment in listening to this I truly believe he did this interview so that he could muddy the jury pools everywhere !

[@markgado8782]

So, it was either the behaviour panel, or on Eric's America's untold stories, that someone suggested peppermint oil on his hand, that helped tear up so quickly.. I'm not sure what I think about that... You?

[@MajorOutage]

With the stuff he reveals to the public in this interview, you gotta keep in mind there is also an OSHA investigation going on, and they can and will subpoena you to testify. So these are all things he probably has already had to admit on the record to someone. It's new information to us, but not to the authorities.

[@AlexanderHamrick]

Yeah but he could have pleaded the 5th during that questioning

[@MajorOutage]

​@@AlexanderHamrick OSHA is not a criminal investigation so the 5th amendment doesn't strictly apply.

[@miinyoo]

@@MajorOutage OSHA has no power because it is a construct of the executive branch. The only place OSHA has power is general fear of them. Apparent power. Only a proper trial with a Jury will be able to decide whether criminal acts happened or not.

[@MajorOutage]

@@miinyoo OSHA investigations are about finding facts, not crimes. But because they're not looking for crimes, they can ask and demand answers to questions that someone else can't. The point here is Baldwin probably isn't saying anything publicly that OSHA or other investigators aren't already aware of.

[@FirstLast-il6ok]

A couple corrections. A "hot" gun is any gun with a powdered round. it doesn't mean it has a projectile. It means there is a charged round inside. A "cold" gun is one with dummy rounds (not to be confused with blanks, which is another small correction to your conversation). So he could still say "why did someone give me a hot gun" even if he didn't think he had fired an actual projectile. Likewise, they will use dummy rounds which are "cold" so that the gun appears to have rounds in it for filming, even though they are entirely unfireable.

[@techphobe4598]

01:33:30 It occurs to me that in a movie set where you have real guns and fake guns, it is even MORE incumbent on anyone who handles those variants to check them to know the difference. Because in that case you have a higher likelihood of an accident since fake guns will be made to resemble real guns, telling the difference will be intentionally difficult and so if protocols are lax you are begging for an accident.

[@MediaBuster]

2:45:00 Nate you made the WRONG point. Alec JUST admitted it's ONE person that is responsible, but 5 min earlier he said it could be several people and George called him out on it whenhe said 99% of the time. So NOW Alec admits it is supposed t be ONE person, but during the shoot SOMEONE ELSE handled the weapon. The fact that he KNEW this makes him culpable.
