Isn't pointing a weapon assault?
INAL, but I believe it's aggravated assault.
No. No reasonable person could believe the rifle was possibly loaded.
Accidental shootings happen all the time. All reasonable people believe a weapon is always loaded.
Such idiocy. The gun was cleared immediately before he was handed the rifle. The genuflecting over this issue is retarded. Bullets don't magically appear in chambers.
Imagine it was and he Alec'd a member of the jury... anything is possible in this pointless and dystopian clownworld.
No. Anything is not possible. The gun was cleared and then handed to the prosecutor. Stop the vapors.
Is that the standard under Wisconsin law?
Yes. It's not assault if a reasonable person could assume the rifle posed no threat.
