I saw this headline in the Chicago Tribune and my breath caught as I wondered what citizen dared to challenge the Chicago oppression machine and actually defend themselves. Oops, turns out it was in Milwaukee.
Story summary:
Perp enters Aldi grocery store with shotgun. Citizen with concealed firearm draws and fires. Perp turns inside out and runs like a rat in the light. Some random person with a gunshot wound shows up at the hospital.
Here's another perfect example of an individual taking their own defense seriously. This person doesn't have to wonder what the bad guy had planned. No robbing of store customers or rounding everyone up and marching them into a back room. This is the best kind of outcome. I'd rather wonder what would have happened if I wasn't armed that wonder what would have happened if I was.
Good for them, and 'maybe' Chi-town could "learn" from this??? or not...
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think of them as able to learn and mature about such things, but I really view Chicago politicians as a toddler throwing a tantrum.
DeleteProbably going to see more and more of this.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed a lot of them in the news lately. Hopefully, more and more crime is met with stronger resistance as we see more and more people getting firearms. Thanks for swinging by.

ReplyDeleteBob, I'll have to check that out. The Google alert is a good idea. I have them set for other things but didn't think to do that for these stories.
