quote:

The veteran and three of his friends were leaving a party on the city’s south side. When the group reached their vehicle, a container with liquor was sitting on top of it. A woman from the group asked another group gathered next door who the liquor belonged to and removed it. The move angered 22 year-old Denzel Mickiel, who approached the veteran and his friends shouting obscenities. The man then went into his residence and returned with a gun. As Mickiel opened fire on the group, the veteran took cover near the vehicle’s front fender, according to assistant state attorney Mary Hain, the Chicago Tribune reports. The veteran fired two shots, hitting Mickiel both times. Two of Mickiel’s friends also began shooting at the group, which was able to flee the scene in their vehicle.


+1 for the good guys.

I'm sure there is. Let's work together on this. You draft some options and I'll change the title.

Damn

Had Friday’s shooting occurred a little more than a year ago, the veteran would not have been legally permitted to conceal carry his firearm.

Illinois was the last U.S. state to allow citizens to carry concealed weapons with a permit, finally passing a law on July 9, 2013. The state began issuing conceal carry permits in February.


Illinois sucks

The article says that Chicago passed conceal carry legislation earlier this year I think.

This doesn't fit the liberal movement on guns. The sheeple will tell you the victims should lay there and be subjected to gunshot wounds and or death before being allowed to protect themselves.

Legit story and all but I would wager that the lead up to the shooting was a bit more animated than as printed. I would imagine the "asking who owns the beer" had some choice terms involved. Granted, the thugs deserved it but sometimes it is better to just drive away.

I thought this was funny after a few tongue in cheek comments about a CCW holder not stoping the bourbon street shooting in that thread.

The sad thing is, that veteran probably committed a felony just by having the weapon on his person. I have no doubt that he will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

He was lawfully carrying, but as the article said, if this had happened last summer he would have likely been prosecuted.

ETA: but at least those strict gun laws have kept guns out of the hands of the criminals shooting at him....oh wait....
