Why not? You likely would be.
"Held to a higher standard of conduct" is a thing.

The law on the books says he should be charged. Up to a jury now.

Btw, not fired-still an SA.

I know I would be, just saying people make absolutely stupid mistakes often and ruining their lives doesn't really solve much imo.

But what about the person he shot ? What is going to be the quality of life he will have ? What about the pain and suffering he has endured and will have ?

We just say no foul , no harm because the victim lived ?

If it were one of us “civilians” that did the shooting, our lives would be ruined, our homes would have raided and all firearms confiscated, our employers would have fired us, we would still be in jail on a half million $$ or more bail if it were granted. And we would have to sell everything we had to defend ourselves.

The guy would still be liable to cover the victim's medical bills and more. I think that's a better solution than labeling the guy a felon so that he can never get a decent job again so he can never contribute much to society or support his family or provide much money to the victim again.

But it would be OK for the common working stiff to be labeled a felon and suffer the same fate ?

Stupid has a cost, especially "Felonious Stupidity".
Pegging "0" on my "GiveaFuckometer" for the SA involved.

Life is a series of choices, you make stupid choices and injure someone through your own negligence you have just put your own organ in your own cavity.
Again, "Held to a Higher Standard".
