    The (unconfirmed) claims quoted in Wikipedia are wild.

    "According to a statement given to TheWrap by an anonymous insider,
    several crew members took a number of prop guns off-set that day,
    including the firearm involved in the incident, to pass the time
    shooting at beer cans with live ammunition. After a lunch break,
    the prop guns had been returned. It is not clear if the firearms
    were checked again."

    Very safety-concious gun culture.

    Was that not allowed? Or unheard of? (Rhetorical questions.)

    Three (3) courses of action for Mr. Baldwin:

    1. Send him to prison.
    2. Hang him.
    3. Turn him loose

    In any case, say a prayer for the poor dead girl, make a decision
    and move the hell on.
