it is still unbelievable to me that the AD (who also had a record of dangerous behavior with weapons on set) who was the one who HANDED Baldwin the gun without checking it and said "cold gun" got misdemeanor charges.
I thought the crew who quit reported that multiple people were taking the guns and using them for target practice. This set was a shit-show for gun safety.
reading up on everything leading up to this, there is so much stupidity. Starting with cutting the armorer budget on a film focused on gun fights, and then making the only (inexperienced) armorer ALSO the props assistant?
but bottom line, this was a rehearsal. That gun should not have been on the set, it should not have had anything at all in it, they all were supposed to check it. Was the armorer even ON the set when the shooting went down? I can't find a clear answer of where she was when it happened or why Halls was the one to pass Baldwin the gun when it should have been her.
The guns were on a tray that the ad picked up and handed to Baldwin.
Below is some of the 911 call.
Most outlets omitted this part.
This fucking AD that yelled at me at lunch asking about revisions, this motherfucker," Mitchell says, appearing to be in conversation with someone who was not on the call. "He's supposed to check the guns. He's responsible for what happened."
The rumors from the first few days of this tragedy seem to be true.
I.E. crew members shooting on their off time.
One rumor was Baldwin was playing around with the gun and pretending to "shoot"people during takes
Also that he would blow off training and not listen to the armorer who is younger then his oldest daughter.
The AD should have damning info and/ or text against Baldwin, because the DA said they were going to file charges against 2 to 4 people and I assumed Halls was one of the 4.
This is one reason woman are less likely to get these kinds of jobs, because men will not listen or follow your orders.
The fact the AD is going to get away with this basically scott-free pisses me off the most. He's the last line of defense. His job is literally to be the safest person on set. He's the one who holds the safety meetings. aaklgaklghalkgha

From the very beginning this production was taking away money from gun safety.
Originally the DA said that two to five people were going to be indicated.
Halls would have been one of those people
He has a longer alleged history of negligence towards safety then the armor.
We will see.
