It looks like Rasual Butler may escape criminal charges related to his Florida arrest on gun-related charges. The Times Picayune is reporting that the charges will be dropped if he complies with the negotiated terms: that “Butler must donate $500, which is equal to the charge’s appropriate fine, to the “Do the Right Thing” program for kids in the Miami community, perform 50 hours of community service in Dade County, take and complete an appropriate weapons education program in which he will be taught the safe and appropriate handling of a firearm, and renews his personal firearm license, which had lapsed.”
Lucky move, Rasual. Learn from this and move on.

If his CCW had expired, getting out of this with only a fine and community service is a huge stroke of luck for him. If I were him, Id throw myself into the community service and perhaps voluntarily extend it.
