His last public statements (I believe) contended that he never even touched the trigger - and that the gun somehow spontaneously fired on its own. That's some defense story!

Re: Alec Baldwin accidentally kills crew member with prop gun

I now realize I know a little more about guns (well, six-shooters at least) than I thought.

Re: Alec Baldwin accidentally kills crew member with prop gun

For anyone who knows guns - I'm still wondering: is a hammer drop from just slightly less-than halfcocked (where halfcocked would be hammer's next locking position) enough to fire a bullet?

P.S....

I was wondering the same thing.
A less-than halfcocked hammer dropping doesn't seem to be enough force to ignite the bullet. But I know very little about guns, so I don't know.

Re: Alec Baldwin accidentally kills crew member with prop gun

What I'm getting from all this (so far) is there is no way Baldwin could NOT have pulled the trigger and NOT have pointed the gun at the lady but still killed her... UNLESS the gun (which fired at...

So... it sounds like a lot of media build up for nothing?
No guesses, no speculation on Baldwin's part as to what actually happened?
Did Stephanopoulos even ask what Baldwin thought had really...

Re: Alec Baldwin accidentally kills crew member with prop gun

Anyone watch the interview? (I think it was tonight.)

For those of us who didn't, any answers as to what (Baldwin thinks) DID happen?

I don't know what to think... about the media I mean.

They turn something like this into a "production" complete with previews, teasers and cliff hangers! The clip from ABC really reads like a...

Re: Alec Baldwin accidentally kills crew member with prop gun

Not to interrupt, but the various comparisons to gun handling and driving made me think of when I'd have my parents in the car... backing out of the driveway or at an intersection... they'd say,...

Re: Alec Baldwin accidentally kills crew member with prop gun

A while back I made the suggestion that they just use real-looking fake guns for movies (and fill their actions in with special effects). But I've never really given it much thought until now... ...

Re: Alec Baldwin accidentally kills crew member with prop gun

I never liked Alec Baldwin for a variety of reasons. Now, before you write me off as a heartless bastard, let me finish.
I wouldn't wish anything like this on my worst enemy. There are only victims...
