If she'd failed to give him those instructions it would be entirely on her, but that wasn't the case.
Bottom line: the armorer wasn't on set, and nothing was supposed to happen without her there. Baldwin knew that, as did the person that handed the gun to him.
I disagree. Surprise!
Who made the decision to handle the firearm without the armorer on set?
Who handed the firearm to Baldwin?
Asking for a friend.
