I think many people who are dissing the ADA for pointing the gun at people, finger on the trigger, fail to consider that there are rules about firearms in court rooms. One of them is that the firearm be safed BEFORE it's brought into Court.
That said, the ADA was negligent in how he handled the firearm. After all, to err is human. We have rules upon rules so that the error cascade prevents catastrophe. Unlike what happened on the Rust shoot. (Pun intended.)

The handling of the firearm SHOULD and MUST be an assault and/or menacing charge.
