From everything I've read, SOP for Hollywood is if the armorer/"expert" hands you, the star, a fully functional weapon and says its ok, then you're free to aim it at a human being and pull the trigger. Goes against every piece of training/scrap of paper I've read regarding gun safety, to the point of cringing even writing this.
On that basis, Baldwin is off the hook, although I'm sure there'll be other lawsuits.
If you're going to take a weapon and point it at someone, you should be the last check in verifying its in a safe condition. Don't know enough to verify that? Then you have no business holding it.
And of course there's the question with technology today, should a functional firearm even be on a movie set?
