Internet has some interesting stories supposedly coming from the ex crew members. I can't verify them of course.
They claim the set had no actual armorer, just normal props people, that the prop master had shot himself in the foot the previous day, that the set had no medic, and that someone had taken the gun in question off set to do some shooting the previous weekend and forgotten to take out the bullets after.
Which if true would mean that at least one person on set was the type that would leave a loaded gun among prop guns on movie set, and that someone responsible for the guns would have had to pick up a gun loaded with unknown bullets, go "oh these are probably blanks" and just hand it to Baldwin without making sure. On a set where firearms accidents had already happened.
No wonder crew had been leaving the set (in part) because of safety reasons.
