I honestly think criminal charges may be coming for him - otherwise, why even do this interview?

Most likely.
He also kept saying he has 6 kids .. he actually has seven.
Poor little first born Ireland "rude thoughtless little pig" Baldwin.
He said he pulled the handle not the trigger. The person who put a real bullet in the gun is responsible. The person(s) responsible to check all guns before being taken out from being locked is responsible to check all weapons before put out on the table or given to anyone. If they had security cameras that would helped to keep track of all persons handling the gun before used on the set.
He explained on that show that he didn't just pick it up for ****s and giggles. He being directed what to do with the gun, where to aim it and so on. I would say it is a horrible accident if there weren't a real gun in the chamber. Live ammunition to me feels to much like a set up against someone who hates Baldwin or is just a sick screwball trying to make some stupid point at the expense of the victims, and everyone on the set.
A gun is far more dangerous and reckless in the hands of a liberal, that much is obvious.

The irony is that if he wasn't such an anti gun nut and had taken even the most basic gun safety class, the odds are very good that this would have never happened.

I am not so sure about that. We can all say we would feel this or that but we are not in his situation. He didn't pull the trigger and he didn't load the gun so why the hell should he feel guilty. Horrified, terrified, angry, sad, and empathetic to the family who lost a wife and Mother yes that he feels and we all would but guilt are you kidding?!
No guilt has no place in this he didn't pull the trigger, he didn't load the gun. This was not in any way a deliberate Baldwin did. Had it been deliberate and he didn't feel guilt then yes it would be wrong to not feel guilt but it wasn't his fault this happened, period.
The only thing that Alec Baldwin knows about guns is that he doesn't want anyone to own them. Except for people such as himself to make money off of them by producing violent movies. Or people who can hire armed bodyguards to protect their sorry asses.
Alec Baldwin now claims that he pulled the hammer back and it slipped out of his thumb and the gun went off. Yet his finger was never on the trigger? That's impossible. On a Colt Model 1873 single action army or a replica of one, the hammer has 3 notches machined into it. As the hammer is being pulled back the sear (clicks) into the first notch which moves the firing pin out of the hole in the frame about 1/8th of an inch. This way the firing pin is not resting on the primer of a live round if the gun is loaded with 6 rounds. Which is not drop safe. It's alway recommended to carry these guns loaded with 5 rounds with the hammer down on an empty chamber.
The second notch is the safety notch. The sear then clicks into the second notch. When the hammer is in this position the cylinder can be spun, the loading gate opened and the gun can be either loaded or unloaded. The third notch is the final notch and when the sear clicks into the third notch the gun is now ready to be fired.
If Alec Baldwin's finger was not on the trigger and the hammer slipped out of his thumb while he was pulling it back. The hammer would fall and stop once it reached the second notch (safety notch) preventing it from striking the primer and setting the gun off. If it somehow managed to slip out of the second notch which I doubt, the first notch should prevent the hammer from falling all the way down and striking the primer. At that point there probably wouldn't be enough inertia to set the gun off anyway. These guns were designed that way in order to prevent an accidental discharge while the hammer is being pulled all the way back as long as your finger is off the trigger.
On some of those old western movie's the actor would fan the hammer while pressing on the trigger and holding the trigger as far back as it can go. What this does is disengage the sear from the hammer altogether and allows the gun to be fired rapidly. It takes some degree of skill in order to do this affectively. However it is not very accurate.
Bingo all the way.
Short and sweet: The hammer accidently slipping from his thumb would not fire the gun unless he was simultaneously holding the trigger back.
