No Wiggle Room on This!

Regarding Baldwin's killing of the DP of his latest movie and "fault":

It is the PERSONAL responsibility of the person holding the weapon to immediately check the chamber for either appropriate loads OR empty status.   

No excuses, no,  "they told me it was empty..."

ALL WEAPONS ARE ALWAYS LOADED UNTIL PROVEN TO BE EMPTY BY VISUAL INSPECTION.

THE PERSON WITH HIS OR HER HANDS ON THE WEAPON IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE IF THE WEAPON IS DISCHARGED, UNINTENTIONALLY OR NOT.

End of story.

    If what I read is correct, he fired a single action revolver. He had to pull the hammer back, point it at a person, pull the trigger. Not once but twice! Manslaughter and Assault with intent to kill on the second at the very minimum

    um, not really. on set the armorer is the last guy to check the weapon status, b/c frankly, actors can't be trusted to do it w/o fracking it up. likely the brandon lee scenario repeated itself due to hiring a cut-rate armorer service. there had already been three prior incidents on this set. they should have been fired long b4 this happened.

    I've walked onto rigging jobs . Met the first looney tunes addict carrying a full baggy of pills and walked right back off the job . Not gettin' killed on the job . Baldwin was also listed as a producer . He is double liable . You do not point at what you do not intend to kill . Those movie sets are drug infested traps .

    The common sense safety rules aside, how does an individual "accidentally" shoot two separate individuals?

    He only fired once.They guy that got wounded caught a through and through. 45 long colt. Lot's of BS floating around about this. First of all this is all Baldwin. If some one hands you a gun it's YOUR responsibility to determine the condition of the fire arm. Laws don't change just because it's on a movie set.
    Yesterday FOX News reported the incident occurred right after the film crew walked off the set in protest of safety conditions. I that's true why is Baldwin discharging a weapon? It's not being filmed. The two people shot work well behind the cameras. In fact they're suppose to be behind a 1 inch thick piece of plexiglass.
    The woman that was shot was also reportedly one of the vocal people complaining about lack of discipline around firearms.
    The story is changing every 5 minutes. Meaning the fix is in.

          DTG’s 2021 Updated 10 Week (If You’re Lucky) Plan                      to Prepare for the Worst-Case Scenario     It’s been about 13 or 14 years since I wrote this under my since retired ‘nom de guerre’, and commenting on a blog post recently, CA at Western Rifle Shooter’s Association asked me if I’d mind updating it.   This is a good base plan for folks you might know just waking up to the fact that things are spinning faster in the vortex than ever before, and this might be the best chance for them to get themselves in gear.   Feel free to add or take away as your situation and local area conditions may require.   Understand something, though:   You have a VERY small window; it may even be too late should something happen that accerlerates the current environment like a JATO (Jet Assisted Take Off) rocket on a C130.   So, if you’re just getting started, you need to act now, as in today.   Not next week.   Not in two weeks.   You may not HAVE two weeks. You may be thinking,

Beware of the Seductress...

Just as Samson was seduced by Delilah, so can you be seduced by the internal desire you have to one degree or another to have all the latest, greatest, coolest, most technically advanced, and 'tacticool' weapons, gear, and associated support equipment available,  which, by necessity, will set you back many, many thousands of dollars,  usually.  When sporty times come, the first thing you'll need to be able to do is actually use what you have.   The you have to be able to carry it all.  I mention this Nevada a great many,  "gear-a-holics" are not in the best shape.   Remember a good rule of thumb:  All your gear,  including weapons, ammo, equipment (all types), food and water shouldn't weigh more than about 65 or 70 pounds.  Then, if you're planning on being mobile, you should be ruckingin all sorts of weather over varying distances at a pace of no less than 3 miles an hour over relatively flat and clear routes.  But, if you've been collecting gear, I u

PSA - Instant Incapacitation of an Attacker...

  First, I forget where I got this graphic; it's been a long while.  It's good though, for this post's purposes.  For the uninitiated, or new prepper, protector, defender, NPT member, etc (whatever your group calls the new guys), 'CNS' stands for 'Central Nervous System'. There are three ways to achieve instant incapacitation with a firearm against an attacker:  Shoot them in one of the 3 places as outlined above. Other descriptions of the targets (and very effective if a bad actor is shot there) are: FRONT:  The Occular Cavity SIDE:  The Temple (just a smidge toward the top of the ear) REAR:  Medula Oblongata (where the brain stem resides at the top of the spine where the brain joins the spinal column. A shot in any of these three locatations brings about catastropic INSTANT failure of all systems in the body.  Put another way:  "Instant Rag Doll."  There's no last chance to pull a trigger, say 'good bye,' "I'm sorry," or
