Baldwin charges dropped.

I actually did have a clash with my ex about Alec Baldwin's shooting incident. I'm much more of a gun guy than she ever was a gun girl.

She was still convinced that Baldwin was gonna get off, and should, and that it was an accident.

I was, and still am, on the side that he should be criminally charged.

Well, it turns out that we were both kinda-sorta right. Baldwin was charged; but, the charges were dropped.

The frustrating thing about that argument is that she had handled my .45 Long Colt, which is basically the same gun that was used on Rust. I taught her how to check the gun. I demonstrated to her the functionality of the gun. I showed her that the hammer wouldn't fall unless it was at full cock, and the trigger was pulled (not necessarily in that order).

This wasn't, in legal terms, an accident. This was recklessness.
