Alec Baldwin on 'Rust' shooting: 'Someone is responsible ... but I know it's not me'

On the morning of Oct. 21, Alec Baldwin had an epiphany. “I sat on that bench, and I said, ‘This movie has made me love making movies again,’” Baldwin told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos in his first exclusive interview. Hours after his moment of reflection, Baldwin was holding an antique...

He claims zero responsibility and says "no, no" when asked if he feels any guilt.

Un-effing-believable.

... even his own kin Adam says to man up, STFU and take his lumps!

I don't think Adam and Alec are related.

EDIT: articles indicate they are distant relatives. I like Adam Baldwin so I'm glad it is distant

That story indicated it was "antique" -- which is fake news. Probably planted Baldwin's spin team. It was a modern replica made by Pietta.

Adam Baldwin rocks. My favorite actor of all time now:

Another wrinkle -- Pietta seems to make both transfer bar models and models with the firing pin stuck to the hammer. I'm holding out hope that this was a transfer bar model. That would make his lies all the more hilarious.

I think it was the antique, pin on the hammer, model for the movies, or we would all squawk if we saw newer model.

Lying about pulling the trigger makes it all the worse, what a creep !

Ok, doing a little unofficial science here, I have 4 single action revolvers of my own, plus 3 of Dad's, cocking the hammers is not only required, ( We All Knew That) but, unless you actually cock the hammer ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE FIRING NOTCH, the cylinder will not fully rotate to the next live cylinder, so any theory that he may have thumbed the hammer only partially, or snagged it in something and it went off is also COMPLETE BULLSH!T!
Nope, he is still Phucking Guilty of Murder!

Even if there was an issue with the sear and the hammer somehow tripped without touching the trigger wouldn't the hammer stop on the 2nd notch or even the first notch?

Here's my beef with the word "antique". Very old worn out things are commonly known to not work. The gun was absolutely not an antique it was a replica of an antique gun, but it was of new, non-worn out manufacture. The article I complained about did not say "antique-style" (e.g., replica) -- it just said "antique" and that's a lie because of all the baggage that word carries.

That's interesting -- anyone have a Pietta to test? Cock it, thumb the spur, pull the trigger, let hammer move forward slightly, release trigger, release hammer.

Alec Baldwin: I Was Told 'Rust' Gun Was 'Cold' - It Discharged After I Let Go of the Hammer

During an interview with ABC aired on Thursday, Alec Baldwin stated that he was told that the gun in the "Rust" shooting was a "cold gun" and that he | Clips

So now... A "cold" gun means... No rounds, or just blanks that go boom?
WTF is a 'hot" gun then???

The five stages of fing up are:

• bargaining.
• depression.
• acceptance

You're #1, retard!

Was there film footage at the time of the shooting? I would be very surprised if there wasn't.

Alex Baldwin "JUMPS THE SHARK "! When the Duke boys call ya out your time has come lol.

John Schneider rails against Alec Baldwin for claiming he 'didn’t pull the trigger'

"Dukes of Hazzard" alum John Schneider railed again Alec Baldwin for claiming he did not pull the trigger of the gun on the set of the movie "Rust."

Our temps have been unseasonably warm. Like a high of 60, and that is right before dawn today.

THIS is true!

The weather has been really STRANGE.

My husband and his friend went to the range on Thursday to test his old friend's NEW gun!

My husband had different RF ammunition for him to try out plus his buddy had some of his own. They had fun but it was a bit windy at the range compared to normal.

His old friend is 80 or so (?) years old and he still shoots like a champ too!

I think that my husband shot 80 some rounds of 22lr out of HIS own pistol too.

It was a NICE day and they were not freezing their butts off AND wearing ICE CLEATS on their shoes or boots too! LOL

Take care.

Well, they did have a lot of NDs on that set... part of the reason crew walked out.

Were those diff guns, or the same one that AB used?

It's easy enough to verify his claim... if the gun was defective, it should be repeatable. But nobody else on the set has claimed the gun is/was defective. And IIRC it was taken out off set and shot for fun/practice.

Did the popo examine the firearm? What did they say?

If this keeps up, I may actually get to shoot .22 steel silhouette matches this year, and w/o wearing my pac boots!!! (ETA: these matches are only in winter)

Yes, I have read that it was a modern replica too.

It was not an antique.

That means that he REPEATEDLY drew the weapon, as claimed by at least one witness. Since the SA revolver cannot discharge w/o being cocked, he was probably cocking and pullng the trigger each time prior to reholstering, then OOOOps, a live round.

ETA: Soooooo, he repeatedly draws the handgun, cocks it each time, and the ONE TIME the hammer fails it just happens to be on a live round????? Oy vey.

They tested it and IT is being tested some more.

ALL of this is still under investigation by the POLICE/SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT and even the FBI. The FBI was called in from the GITGO and I do not know if it is because that land (Ranch where they FILM a BUNCH OF MOVIES and where RUST was being filmed.) may or may not have been on the RESERVATION.

There are so MANY STORIES about this that it is too much for me to do searches for you now but if you do some of your own... in the BEGINNING of this thread or on the Texas forum - it tells a LOT MORE about the gun, guns, extras - people in the film, other witnesses, ALL OF THE WALK OUTS and their safety - union/non union complaints, THEIR GUNS, and tons more.

Plus there is a LOT more updated information since ALL of that was originally posted.

Take care.
