As they have the weapon he'd be hard pressed to if it operates as it should.... he also cocked the piece with his thumb after drawing it from a holster and pointed it at the victims. You only cock a SA Colt if you intend to fire it...it is never carried or re holstered in that manner, and, as you know there is no safety once cocked.

From what I gather here, and from the vids with an armorer speaking:

Baldwin did not receive the weapon from the armorer (sop) as is the safety/union rules,

The armorer was not directly present when an actor was handling a firearm as per SOP safety/union rules.

Baldwin was the producer/ man in charge of the set.

I cannot see a way that he just say's 'sorry, my bad'.... and walks away.
