The 'Rust' Question

 I noticed yesterday that the Santa Fe DA announced that he's reviewing the 'Rust' movie set shooting....over Alec Baldwin's statement that he didn't pull the trigger, and if it's possible for a gun to fire with no pull on the trigger.

For the record, various episodes have occurred where the trigger was engaged, and without a finger upon the trigger....it just 'failed' and fired.  Hint: this is why you never aim at anything unless the intent is there to put-down or kill someone.

What'll likely occur?  Some specialized gunsmith will go over the weapon and be asked.....just what kind of shape is the gun in?  

Baldwin's whole explanation that he never pulled the trigger?  It all goes back to this one idea.

If you asked a hundred handgun owners.....I would imagine that 90-percent would say it's practically impossible for this scenario to occur.
