What do you think? Right result?
I'm guessing the "victim" didn't want to prosecute and the matter was being pushed by the DA.
Besides the issue of jail time, should he be allowed to possess a firearm during probation for work purposes? If it's safe enough for him to have a gun at work why isn't it safe enough for him to have a gun all other times? Or, from the other viewpoint, if it isn't safe for him to have a gun while shopping at Walmart why is it safe enough for him to have a gun for work purposes?
Or is safety not an issue and he is just being "punished" by not being allowed to carry a weapon for other than work purposes while still be allowed to keep his job? (I'm assuming he is employed as a security guard or leo or other profession that requires possession of a firearm.)

Judge Thomas Nave accepted a plea agreement that was reached with prosecutors and imposed 180 days of jail time with the full 180 days suspended, meaning there’s no time to serve, and one year of probation.
Bingham will also be required to attend a gun safety course and is not allowed to possess firearms except for work purposes during probation.
Brothers Seth and Joseph “Joe” Bingham, 27, were driving home from a day at the Hank Harmon Rifle Range in December of last year when Seth disassembled his pistol in the truck. A round went off and struck Joe in the femoral artery in his right leg, which had to be amputated above the knee as a result of the accident.
