If the armorer does her job right a loaded gun is never in baldwins hand. Gun safety on set literally is her job. She failed. Baldwin is partially responsible but if she follows procedures there are never ever live rounds on set to get into the gun in the first place. Thst is the reason you have an armorer.

Anyone else notice recently they automatically started adding those like 2 year protection plans to your cart? Like they don’t even ask me anymore. It just shows up in my cart.

Glad you and yours are safe. We're expecting the worst of it overnight here and I'm not looking forward to it.

The person who is most at fault is always the person who pulled the trigger. Hollywood shouldn't get to ignore weapons safety because it is convenient.

Well they had negative profit for FY 2022. So I suppose that's pretty easy.

Exactly. People saying "she was on set at the time!" No she wasn't. She was somewhere else because it was a rehearsal with no firearms. The AD took the gun.

Probably bc the charge he pleaded no contest to has nothing to do with death in any way, it was a weapons handling charge

Yep, he decided to go ahead with an unscheduled rehearsal of a scene that involved a firearm without calling in the armorer, who was working elsewhere on set in her second role as props assistant at the time. He wasn't in any position to handle the gun, declare it "cold" or check it for safety - and he should have know that considering he's got credits going back almost 30 years.
A lot of other things went wrong - like the decision to only hire a part time armorer for a western movie, the line producer downplaying the priority of gun safety, and however live ammunition got in the gun (crew playing around with it? Ammo mixed up in the boxes?) - but the AD is definitely negligent for declaring the gun cold without calling in the armorer.

Though it's pistol caliber, I suppose the gunpowder behind it is the important part.
If it's got more kick, that'll make a difference in how effective armor is

Their primary weapon was the Keltec sub2k, a pistol caliber carbine that comes in either 9mm or .40 S&W

I get what u mean but the DoD will pay for out of state abortions without a medical need they are one of the better aspects of medical care and coverage in the US and are closer to what we all should have. It's regular folks that don't get reproductive care specifically in red states.
