Eugene police say 44-year-old Charles Pressburg was drinking Saturday night and fired a round shortly after midnight. The Register-Guard reports (https://is.gd/Ld3NnF ) police did not disclose any information about the victim, except that the person was taken to a hospital for treatment of an injury that's not life-threatening.
SSD just posted a piece in reference to this:

BE Meyers & Co, Inc Issues Statement In Support Of Chuck Pressburg
Recently, a news release came to light identifying one of our contracted employees and brand ambassador, Mr. Charles “Chuck” Pressburg of Presscheck Consulting, in an unfortunate firearms incident. The media coverage of this incident is vague and allows for misperception. In addition to this limited reporting by the press, malicious speculation online is fueling and in some way exacerbating many inaccuracies in the story.
This incident is by no means indicative of the performance or standards that we know Chuck to uphold, and in no way impacts his credentials as a Subject Matter Expert on the topic of low-light operations as well as night vision and laser combat employment. He represents our brand, and we support him as strongly today as we ever have.
While this was an obviously unfortunate incident involving our brand ambassador, the details of the situation will come out at a time and in a method that are legally appropriate. While it would not be appropriate for our brand ambassador to make a statement himself at this time, B.E. Meyers & Co. Inc. and industry entities cited in this message stand in his support to speak for him.
I encourage the community to take a pause, know that all the details cannot be currently released, and to question the narrative provided to them by the Oregon media that has spread to the national press level. Stop breaking out the Jump-to-Conclusions Mat, stop trying to fill in the blanks erroneously, and start letting the facts develop. Let the legal system work, and come to your own conclusions in due time.
I personally stand with Chuck.
B.E. Meyers & Co. Inc. stands with Chuck.
Those of character in this industry stand with Chuck.
We are ALL, all in for Chuck.
#ALLINFORCHUCK

It could possibly impact his credentials in the common sense and don't shoot people who don't deserve it department though.
it will be interesting to see what comes of this - surely there must be some cause for the charges to be "pressed"
"charges of assault, reckless endangering, unlawful use of a weapon and negligent wounding of another."
i hope the person that roland shot is doing OK. :/Quote:

Other articles are saying he drew his concealed carry and shot someone. Knowing nothing about the guy, I just want to point out that being charged with something doesn't mean you're guilty of it. Considering most of the news articles about this are like 6 sentences long I'm going to wait and see.
Innocent until proven guilty.Quote:

I do not know Chuck, but I know people and trust people who know him. So giving him the respect he deserves is the least we can do.
Lot of RUMINT floating around suggesting that the news reports are heavily distorted. Maybe, maybe not, but I'd refrain from speculating at this juncture.
FWIW, here is the original post by BE Meyers: https://www.facebook.com/bemeyers/po...25986610791556
You know, given the amount of support he is receiving by individuals who probably have a good deal clarity on the situation, I would say your tone is unwarranted.Quote:

The obvious question is, was he carrying a Roland?
I would say that the fuckstick from the Greyhound was probably broken from the factory...Quote:

As any situation like this, requires full disclosure of information before an honest, informed opinion is made. Using media sources is absolutely not the right way to base those opinions. I have a feeling there will be plenty of info coming forward from this as the case goes forward.
perhaps.Quote:

however if it was justifiable, IDK that i would call it an "unfortunate firearms incident" but rather a successful use of justifiable force for public safety or self-defense.
hope we find out eventually...
perhaps a thread lock should be requested then until actual substantive info is released? this is all speculative on all sides then... and it is a serious matter at that.Quote:
