Alec Baldwin was told firearm was unloaded, search warrant says: report

Which still does not mean he shouldn't have checked - or that the person who handed him the gun shouldn't have checked it.

A few excerpts from the article:

n assistant director on the New Mexico movie set of the movie "Rust" claimed that a gun being handed to actor Alec Baldwin on Thursday was unloaded, a search warrant filed in a Santa Fe court said, according to reports.

The gun used by Baldwin was one of three firearms that had been placed on a cart by Hannah Gutierrez, who was identified as the armorer for the film, The Associated Press reported. 

Halls was unaware live rounds were inside the firearm he grabbed and handed to Baldwin, a detective wrote in an application for the search warrant, the AP reported. 

How live rounds came to be inside a firearm intended for a movie shooting remained a mystery.

Rust Movie Productions, the company behind the film, is also conducting its own review of what happened, officials said Friday. The company's statement came amid reports that some crew members were unhappy about the level of gun safety on the movie set. Fox News has not independently confirmed the veracity of the complaints.

It gets worse. There were more "accidental discharges" on the set before.

    Three crew members who were present at the Bonanza Creek Ranch set on Saturday said they were particularly concerned about two accidental prop gun discharges.

    Baldwin’s stunt double accidentally fired two rounds Saturday after being told that the gun was “cold” — lingo for a weapon that doesn’t have any ammunition, including blanks — two crew members who witnessed the episode told the Los Angeles Times.

    “There should have been an investigation into what happened,” a crew member said. “There were no safety meetings. There was no assurance that it wouldn’t happen again. All they wanted to do was rush, rush, rush.”

And crew had walked off due to working conditions.

Why do they need live rounds at all, especially during normal filming? If they want realistic bullet effects (as if Hollywood wants realism), they can do that with a minimum crew and good range safety, then remove any live rounds during normal filming.
