    I would pay good bucks that nothing significant happens to this guy. He may be sued but he will not be charged and he will not be fired.

    If it were Joe Shmo, yes something would happen to him.

    I’m not so sure. 2nd degree assault is a felony in CO with a COV designation carrying mandatory prison time if convicted. I assume the prosecutor is justifying the charge under the “recklessly causing serious bodily injury to another person by means of a deadly weapon” provision in the statute.

    I might be more comfortable with the charge if he was shitfaced drunk or waving the gun around and injured someone. However, I’m a little unsettled by a felony charge from a non-fatal ND to the leg while retrieving a gun that fell out of a holster. Assuming he was sober (a big assumption) that means that virtually any ND that causes injury in CO could make you a felon. Are you cool with that?

    I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.

    I’m not but looking a the CO statute:

    2016 Colorado Revised Statutes
    Title 18 - Criminal Code
    Article 3 - Offenses Against the Person
    Part 2 - Assaults
    § 18-3-203. Assault in the second degree

    d) He recklessly causes serious bodily injury to another person by means of a deadly weapon; or
    CO Statutes define “Recklessly” thus:

    Title 18 - Criminal Code
    Article 1 - Provisions Applicable to Offenses Generally
    Part 5 - Principles of Criminal Culpability
    § 18-1-501. Definitions


    (8) "Recklessly". A person acts recklessly when he consciously disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk that a result will occur or that a circumstance exists.
    Given they still don’t have BAC results there is no way they can support the Reckless element at this time.

    DA is grand standing and over charging for political purposes.

    I suspect they're going with a greater charge initially in order to plead it down to a lesser charge along the lines of reckless endangerment, or Colorado's equivalent.

    Well, the video seemed to show the “recklessly” part, well enough.

    The trigger is not a carry handle.
