It is an universal firearm safety standard for ANYONE that handles a gun to check it.Not really.
If it is not industry standards for the actor to inspect every prop used be it a gun or a car then no actor is responsible for mishaps involving the operation of the props.
The armorer was obviously unqualified to hold that position and the studio should have vetted her better.
Like I said this was an accident and all accidents are caused by human negligence but none of the safety checks were Baldwin's responsibility per industry requirements.
If Baldwin didn't check it for live round prior to playing with it then he is negligent.
