Inspector Clouseau's investigation into the Alec Baldwin shooting ...

[dogtag]

has taken close to a year and still isn't complete.
Baldwin says he didn't pull the trigger. Now I don't own a
single action Army, but I do own several BP revolvers which
operate the same way, You pull back the hammer to half cock.
Can't fire from there, Back to full cock which takes the trigger to
release, Cylinder isn't in battery until full cock, so if it slipped
before it reached there, live chamber would not be in position to fire.
I'd say Baldwin is lying (not too hard to believe of that waste of skin)
Did I miss something ?

Just watch Biden - same thing, maybe even funnier

Baldwin slip-fired that gun. If you hold the trigger back while pulling the hammer back, the sear is out of contact with the tumbler. The cylinder will index, and when you release the hammer, the gun will fire. Jesse James liked that feature and had at least one gun with no trigger and sear at all -- so it could only be slip-fired. Harold Croft (whose modified Single Actions impressed and inspired Elmer Keith) had at least one gun set up for slip firing.

"Fanning" is a form of slip-firing -- hold the trigger back and slap the hammer repeatedly with the palm of the other hand.

Right - But he says he didn't pull the trigger. He'd need to "Pull" it in order to hold it back

If you try it, you see it takes very little pressure to "pull" the trigger when the gun is uncocked. Simply resting your finger on the trigger will do it. Of course, if you do that and DON'T hear the clicks when you pull the hammer back -- and you don't have pond scum for brains -- you know something is wrong.

On the other hand, if someone tells you a gun is unloaded -- and you believe him without checking yourself, you DO have pond scum for brains.

In addition, pick up your own single action. Look at the gap between the rear of the cylinder and the recoil shield. If the gun is loaded, you can SEE the cartridge rims.

Also; he pointed the gun at her which was not in the script
Pointed it and fired.
Sounds suspicious to me
He IS Pond Scum

Don't know which county this happened in BUT....

How many elected officials, Guv'nuh on down to Coroner, are Dems? Do the (campaign cash) math.

But in his defense, I must say he did not intend to shoot her. If he had intended to shoot her, he would have missed by 50 feet.

All the libs on the set were playing with the pistol. Being libs they had never fired a gun before. Now they were in the wide open spaces and played with it between scenes. Hence the live rounds in the pistol but still Baldwin and others should have checked the pistol and Baldwin should not have pointed the gun at anyone.

They ALL should have been trained to use the gun as well as acting.

It's like letting a 4 year old drive a car for the first time unsupervised in heavy traffic.

He slip-fired it -- held the trigger back while pulling the hammer back and releasing it.

[dogtag]

Report concludes he had to have pulled the trigger in order for it to fire.

He needs to be locked up

And get extra time for being a lyin' sacka chit.

Nothing will come of it. The last I read they are going forward with the filming of the show.

People will forget (or not care). People will pay to see the film.

"a lyin' sacka chit" seems to be a requirement for his trade.

I haven't been to the "big screen" in years. I don't support the libs. This includes HBO, Disney and the other "Chit on America" sites.
