It appears that even other people in the industry either don't know or don't agree on what the industry standard protocols are -- or else there simply aren't any "industry standard" protocols.John KSa said:Yes, by the armorer.All these pages of comments, but the fact of the matter is, one more check, one last look, that would have taken a mere few seconds could have saved a life.

Production management and crew are responsible for creating and

I missed that. Thanks.ghbucky said:I actually did post the SAG guide. You can find it here:
And then it says there's more information in bulletins #1, #2, #16, and #30 -- which we don't have.

Anyone that will be using a weapon shall know all the operating features and safety devices.

There are also statements that the gun had been left on a cart, unattended, and that Guttierez-Reed wasn't at the location when the AD handed the gun to Baldwin.Metal god said:However There are statements that Miss Reed gave the gun to the AD to give to Baldwin to use in the scene .
At this point it's all speculation. We have to hope that when the investigation has been completed, the findings will be released. However, if there are criminal charges, the report may remain sealed until after any trial(s).
