Cobra: I think this is not the best advice to give Chrissy right now: "I don’t think he has it in him to carry through." You're asking her to call his bluff, but you don't really have enough info to say this, considering the guy stuck a gun in his mouth!
If she "calls his bluff" and he shoots her, or whatever, do you then say, "oops, sorry, I guess I made the wrong call on that one."? Gambles like that aren't something you should recommend to others.
So the fact that the gun wasn't loaded tells you he's a big bluffer? I think it tells me he's a violent, whacko, attention whore. I think Chrissy is right to seek a restraining order, and get as far away from him as she can. No one should have to live like that.
