Has Baldwin been arrested yet?

I have now read about a dozen Mind Molder accounts, not a single one identifies who was responsible for the weapons on set.

https://www.santafenewmexican.com/ne...113169f78.htmlRust will employ about 75 crew members, 22 principal actors and 230 in background talent, all from New Mexico
So the person in charge of the weapons was local. Are they experienced? Did the insurance company sign off?

Okay. Then it's still Baldwin's fault in part for not checking the status of the firearm he was handed. I'd assume it was a revolver being a western movie of some sort. You release the cylinder, and inspect the load. Either pull and check each round, reinserting it, or by looking at the front of the cylinder. You can tell blanks from live ammo either way. Relock the cylinder in place and put the safety on if the gun has one. I don't know what their protocol for having an empty chamber under the hammer is. That is, sometimes you are supposed to have leave the chamber under the hammer empty for extra safety. After all, the cylinder rotates when you cock or pull the trigger (depending on single- or double-action) so you get a round under the hammer when you go to fire. This just leaves you one round short (5 instead of 6 normally).
How many experienced Hollywood armorers live in New Mexico?
When production companies get pressured by the state to use all local people (as is common) is it then the state that becomes responsible for disasters such as this?

Alec Baldwin was handed a loaded weapon by an assistant director who indicated it was safe to use in the moments before the actor fatally shot a cinematographer, court records released Friday show.
So the assistant director didn't check after the prop people checked it?
So ultimately who is to be blamed?
Baldwin first. The person with the weapon in hand has ultimate responsibility for its safe use. The assistant director and prop people bear less blame, but are to a degree responsible too as they didn't check the weapon's status as it moved from one person to the next.
I think they did a deal with the state, which mandated local people be used.....but ya....lack of money is clearly part of the problem here. I am reminded of the Argentinian sub disaster, where all were lost in large part because everything was done on the cheap. I said then that Argentina was responsible at the top of the food chain, because any country that cant/wont spend enough to operate and rebuild subs correctly should not be doing it at all. If the production company was not willing or able to get together enough money to make this movie safely then they should not have made it at all. Also the state should not have allowed them to make it. Where the fuck was the state here?
