RIP David Crosby , your harmonies live on !

Aha … I saw what you did there LOL😆👍! Agreed the armorer should have had more protection controls in place such as her visually checking each round and sealing the box with a label or a warning seal of some sort . There is just too much going on here to blame one person i suppose but between the armorer and Baldwin there needed to be more care taken that this didn’t happen and considering her inexperience and his , yes , arrogance this was bound to snowball . Side note … while getting ready to run errands today I watched my carry gun very closely just in case it wanted to “ go off” but it behaved itself !

The armorer describes how she “fought” for training days to work with actors handling their guns but was told by higher-ups on the “Rust” production that the performers didn’t need it because they were all “trained people.” Still, she got time with Baldwin, although she said he was “distracted” and on his phone throughout their training session. She fretted “he might honestly shoot himself in the arm” if he didn’t practice more with his holster, and reached out to the actor’s assistant to set up further training. However, Baldwin did not show up for a second training session, she said. Baldwin has said that he followed safety protocols, trusted the professionals to do their jobs and had no idea that the gun he fired contained live rounds. Had he been trained or at least let himself be trained properly a person would not have died because of his ignorance! Better he had shot himself but hell the production “ higher ups “ said they didn’t need training . As you said before a partial print on the trigger would be the tell . Barring him touching the trigger the other possibility of the gun going off is the manner in which he cocked the hammer . At full extension of the arm and tilting back the gun while pulling back the hammer ( as you have seen many times in “ Westerns “ im sure ) it can be released and fire before the sear engages locking the hammer if the hand is sweaty or the knurling on the hammer was worn or plugged . No expert here just experienced in revolvers and would never be fool enough to state that I don’t need or could use “ more training “ …

And a partial Thumb print on the hammer …

So much wrong in the statement “ the gun went off “ ! If using historically accurate firearm they would be using a single action revolver which requires two actions on the handlers part , pulling back the hammer then squeezing the trigger ! Sure there were multiple handlers of the weapon but the last handler is responsible for the gun firing . Now , as to how live rounds got on the set is anyones guess . Thats going to be the kicker here … was someone along the chain of custody of the gun having a little live fire fun before the filming that day , or any other time for that matter . Was the armorer fully qualified other than being an armorer’s daughter ? Bottom line what is the Number One Rule when handling any firearm? Live rounds or dummy rounds the rule stands ! The rest of this story playing out is going to be just back and forth Legalize .

Can’t wait to watch this !

Thank you for that information Jack ! Apparently I forgot to take my “ thick skin pill “ yesterday … apologies .

Yeah and thats why i didn’t mention the Psych Center ! But since i posed the question asking if I were looking at it incorrectly one would take it that i am asking to be corrected not emojied ! Peace out !

I think what she is getting at is , and correct me if wrong , this . Part of the problem in this area is that a large number of families have stayed in the here for generations. These families have conditions, diseases , maladies call them what you will , that are genetic in nature . Some of these folks are from large families one in particular 13 brothers and sisters , kinda normal back in the day , or at least not uncommon. All carrying the genetic predisposition to the aforementioned conditions , lets add into those predispositions heart diseases , cancers just for example . So those family groups go on to pass on these medical conditions to the next however many generations of the same family group in the given area and I believe these would make up a large part of any such study . So not being biased 😏 😆 I’m thinking genetics does contribute , even if only in a small part here .

Do they not think that putting names and faces to the drug/ Fentanyl deaths may just show other users they are risking their own lives ?

Am I looking at this in the wrong light 🤔… is she spreading Psychiatric patients out amongst a huge number of hospitals so the overall numbers of patients looks smaller overall which of course works in her favor as almost did for her predecessor? looks like i will need to find out just what an Article28 Community hospital actually is .

Kinda called this one ! A principled man doesn’t give in to petty politicians but will walk away with dignity and principles intact ! If in fact he answers to the City Council ( correct if wrong please ) therein lies the problem !!

Bringing in the Attorney puts a whole new bunch of spin on this story , but it will come out soon … remember where we are talking about here !

So , begs the question… who got pissed in Paradise that is Elmira ?!

Pretty sure your correct, cedar ! Expensive but lasts a long time . In my case maybe one new bed per year and just a total of maaaybe 4 !

Looks like 4x6s , i know some guys that have a very portable mill that can process lumbar right were you drop it ! Only thing is prepping them for ground use . Mine will need replacement too but I’m thinking corrugated roofing although I like his beds !

I put a lot of time and money into machine implements last year so main crop will be taters . Last year was Yukon Gold with a 10 to 1 yield , this year half Red potatoes and Golds . As we talked about earlier I think I like the Idea of Raised Bed redo as well . And Butternut squash of course .

😂! Valid question !

Nope … still requires a box in the ground , screw that I’m claustrophobic!

Why is it that so many people party so hard to celebrate the ending of a year but complain on their Birthday about getting one year older 🤔 ? Just pondering some of the whys … EVERYONE HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE …. BUT PLEASE BE CAREFUL OKAY ?! because i need everyone back here to listen to my bullshit for another year 😂… seriously though BE SAFE !

Just think how much better off New Yorkers are with this new Law in place ?! Hell I’m just feelin all warm and fuzzy about my heating bills already ! And I believe the violent crime rate just bottomed out ! Anyone else feeling all giddy right now ?

Yes … I want one 😂!

Did you get a peek at the way they were removing abandoned and snowed in cars ?! I didn’t get a pic but this thing was a cross between a big SWAT tactical vehicle and a very powerful forklift . Gonna be a whole lot of insurance claims filed and most likely turned down ! This thing was picking up cars trucks everything , slipping the forks under broadside picking up the vehicle … crushed rocker panels , exhausts , broken brake lines eesh ! 😬 But they all knew this was coming so…

Helluva Gig the have going innit !

😂 I stand corrected!
