How about I snitch them out because as a tax paying citizen of the state of New Mexico I have a vested interest in how my tax money is being spent in a city of <500 that for some reason requires multiple reserve police officers and an extensive armory.

Yes Are you so ignorant that you will come up with an even more uninformed stupid reply? Hell yes If this agency has a history of handing out badges to folks that don't deserve them there is a problem. WTF is a Po'Dunk, Middle of Nowhere, tiny one blinking traffic light town need with a reserve cop in NC? My first agency was huge on reserves. We had to do a minimum of 40 hours a month for the first six months and then 16 a month after that. We also had to live in the general vicinity. The only exception was a retired detective of the agency that stayed on as a reserve and lived in GA instead of South FL. The agency allowed him to serve all of his reserve time in one shot since he flew down. That amounted to two weeks of free police work for the agency. Yeah, so far it sounds like that agency (in OK I think) that handed a badge to the old campaign doner that shit and killed the suspect instead of tazing him. After the investigation they determined that the agency handed out badges as political favors. So once again.... what is this agency doing and needing a NC resident as a reserve cop? He can't suit up and respond when the agency needs additional manpower for a call out. So what's the deal? Sounds like he got the badge for LEOSA and nothing more. The agency should not be doing such things. |

It's pretty simple. So far, according to every report. Pressburg was under the influence of alcohol. LEOSA says you can't carry and drink. The majority of States have laws that say you can't be under the influence of alcohol and I'm damn sure that Oregon is the same. Lastly, you shouldn't be in possession of a firearm and drinking anyways. The two don't mix just like driving. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

The state of New Mexico has an excellent state run reserve program with the New Mexico Mounted Patrol. A certified NMMP officer can work under any department in the state. It makes zero sense for a town like Lake Arthur to have its own reserve program instead of utilizing the NMMP program. Unless you wanted to avoid accountability... Like I stated earlier, just do a Google Maps streetview tour of Lake Arthur. Look at its proximity to Artesia. Tell me with a straight face that the Chaves SO couldn't handle all that towns policing duties with State Police assistance and a mutual aid agreement with Artesia. Every time I drive down Hwy 2 there is at least one State Police officer patrolling between Lake Arthur and Hagerman because that road is an awesome speed trap. If... IF the town needs a full time police officer and a few reserves why not utilize the well established and vetted NM Mounted Patrol program? It's fuckery in the first degree. I'm guessing this fiasco may kill the Chiefs little racket. A state/fed investigation into the reserve programs "armory" would be interesting as well. Buying LE machine guns and suppressors on letterhead but using personal funds and then the department "issuing" those weapons to a reserve officer who lives out of state and never actually works... Presumably the Mayor/City Council is aware of all this right? What's in it for them to allow this to continue? A standard officer requires the mayor to swear them in. In that town the chief can swear in reserve officers. I wouldn't be surprised if the mayor didn't know how many liabilities were running around on the city's name. That's what their city ordinance says on the matter. I'd say it's a bit telling that what ought to be a very minor local ordinance in an extremely small town in the middle of nowhere SPECIFICALLY mentions a Federal law which grants the people covered by the ordinance the privilege to carry nationwide. |

That's why there are a few....like me...just suggesting that perhaps people should wait to judge but that's not going to happen here obviously. And the one poster is correct, this isn't a court of law...the arfcom GD is light years from that...so no one need presume innocence or wait for every detail to emerge. I'm just happy a defense attorney openly admits to concocting stuff for big bucks. I know it happens but that was refreshing to see. |

It seems that he has a lot of very close friends here. While the rest of us wait for the facts to come out, what is he telling his friends? It's been several days since it happened. If it went down another way than what was reported, is he sharing his side of the story to correct the record? If the police framed him or the media lied about what happened, shouldn't he go public and defend himself? Those of you who are lashing out and talking down to everyone in an attempt to defend him might do him more favors by letting us know what really happened. It seems like there has been more than enough time for the real truth to come out, especially in a relatively simple situation. View Quote Yeah, because releasing everything in order to sway opinion on social media is such a good idea. |

First off, yes, dude fucked up and I guarantee you that he knows it. Retiring from an elite military unit just months ago to this... Just remember that idiots didn't last long at his previous job, so no doubt he understands just how bad this looks. However, it seems to me you're projecting a bunch of random hate for irrelevant stuff onto a man who's served his country in a special operations capacity for more than 2 decades. I still maintain we should wait for more relevant facts of this terrible event to come up. A lot of the folks who are proclaiming that this is making gun owners look bad, are the ones project malicious conjecture and spreading the story as far and wide as possible. First time I heard of the incident people were claiming Chuck had shot someone at a bar. Facts we know so far is that it was a tragic accident, that thankfully, did not become too tragic. No one died, but this is still a life changing event and I think "we" as a firearms enthusiasts should be more careful of how we condemn and support each other. Someone with Chuck's resume gets the benefit of the doubt from me. Just my opinion View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Dude finger fucked a gun while drunk and shot his BIL. I don't care if he's Trump the God Emperor himself, the Man that killed Hitler with Bin Laden's gun, or the guy that peels potatoes in the back of the kitchen at Ft. Benning for the recruits before they go down range. HE SHOT SOMEONE WHILE BEING SHITFACED. The firearms' community as a whole needs to wrangle in these asshats and ride herd on them. As a cop, as former US Army (nothing special at all), and as a gun owner folks like him make us look bad. Enough with the tacticool shit. Enough of rolling in a Galls catalog and CCWing like you're rolling into Syria. Enough of the special lingo like "Sheep Dogs", "Meat Eater", "Pipe Hitter", etc.... Enough of "Driving" the Gun while "Operating". Sweet fucking Jesus! Jeff Cooper didn't do this shit. He wore Jeans, tucked in button down shirts, and a ball cap and he was one bad ass mother fucking Marine that served in WWII and Korea. Bill Jordan is the same deal. Dude spent 30 years on the border as a USBP Agent and got into countless gun fights and served as a Marine in WWII and Korea. Theye didn't do this stupid shit. Why the fuck is every tacticool 'tard doing the same now and fucking us over? First off, yes, dude fucked up and I guarantee you that he knows it.

I hope he gets past this and gets whatever help he needs. I don't want to see anyone mess up their life, regardless of their background. But shouting down anyone who takes the story at face value doesn't make any sense. Especially when we have people here calling others inferior democrat hillbillies and even belittling and insulting other veterans and police officers. It's disingenuous. |

If this had been just some local nobody, I bet there wouldn't be as many people defending his irresponsible actions, but more "stupid games, stupid prizes" posts.

You seemed to be taking Aimless's obviously silly quip as something worth disparaging, so pointing it out seemed necessary. View Quote Nope. Not at all. I find lots of things defense attorneys say silly. I know exactly what he meant. No one works for free. But thank you for your assistance. |

Trying to formulate a position based upon facts. Thanks! |

You hit a new level of douchebaggery with that one. Snitch out people that you dont even know to the ATF all because you percieve that you are not one of the cool kids. Or they got something you dont. So it aint fair to you. So you are so vested in the situation that you feel the need to snitch someone out to the ATF based on a rumor you heard on the internet.

At a minimum, the State or the BATF/FBI needs to take a deep hard look at that "department". You hit a new level of douchebaggery with that one.

You are really off of your meds. If you knew me you'd know that I AM one of the cool kids with taxpayer funded happy switches that I get to take home and travel around with and I came by those privledges honestly and through hard work and not being a jackass who gamed the system. I'm not dropping a dime on anyone. Never would. I don't have to. Plenty of folks in the know have seen this thread and I'm sure they'll be down in cooterville, NM or whever the armpit town is and they'll be asking questions and looking at paperwork. All because someone gamed the system and then appeared on the radar for being drunk + stupid + firearms reckless. |

If you support him, fine. Good on you. I respect the guy. But the glaring problem here is the guy made a mistake and instead of people in the industry making an excuse for him because of his service, why not rally around him and say "hey, this guy fucked up. He needs our help and lets make sure he gets the help he needs."? Oregon is a pretty liberal state, especially the Eugene area, this is something to take into account when you preach "wait for the facts" |

View Quote No one here knows what happened. But the police affidavit was filed and is public record. News agencies have quoted directly from the police affidavit. For someone think this is all a misunderstanding and would be cleared up in time (as some people originally thought - because gosh there's no way Pressburg could have had an accident or been handling a firearm while drinking), you'd have to believe the responding officer lied in his police affidavit or you'd have to believe that a news outlet can't properly quote a police report. I have to make a second post to quote the article. See below. |
