Your gun can actually fire on it's own....

The hammer has to be cocked before it will go off. Thats a fact

True. I'm betting it was cocked before handed too him. D list celebrities are lazier than A list. lol

Last night a few videos popped up in my
scroll thru list by John Schneider addressing
the Alec Baldwin Rust situation. Explains his
experience with guns & procedures on TV or
movie sets. Another he demonstrates function
of SAA revolver. Tonight another popped up
which looks like it may have been made before
the others I saw. John aging as we all are and
does a good job showing not everyone in show
biz is........well, bananas.
John lights into the George Steppininit interview.
Had to chuckle when he did some fake crying &
sobbing presumably to show how 'actors' do it.

Several previous ND's and a live round in the cylinder. With all that going on you can't rule out sabotage.

I think what he alleges is that it was a single action army type revolver and that he was cocking the hammer and it slipped before it was cocked and fired. Its possible with a SAA not probable

Analysis: Alec Baldwin’s Gun Could Have Fired Without Him Pulling the Trigger, But Did It?

In his first major interview since being involved in a fatal shooting on the set of his latest movie, Alec Baldwin made a surprising new claim about his actions that day.

It is possible and probably going to be impossible to prove one way or the other.

Very possible if you are squeezing the trigger while cocking the gun. Impossible with a modem firearm otherwise which the gun he shot her with was.

With the heavy double action of wheel guns, an ND is less likely but it could have been a "hair trigger" or a worn out hammer spring, or any number of things. And there's no telling what sort of modifications the owner made that could cause an ND.

The crew quit and cited the same firearm had 2 previous NDs a few days beforehand and no one pulled the trigger. Idiots and guns don't mix.

Single action.

It was a Pietta replica of a Single Action Army and they can be bought with and without a transfer bar, did they determine that the one he used had one yet? I haven't seen anything about that yet...

The biggest error to me is why any live ammunition was anywhere near the set....

That was big, but even bigger was having previous NDs but no safety meeting, no investigation, and live ammo STILL around.
