 it's a cold gun and even if baldwin is wrong when he said well i never pulled the trigger his lawyer said that's irrelevant actors pull triggers on cold guns all the time it wasn't alec baldwin's fault and i could see where they might bring charges based on the fact that he was a co-producer of this film because as you mentioned there is some protection for actors but i'm a little bit surprised the case still went forward even when the judge agreed with the pre-trial motion to throw out the information about his job as a co-producer
