Foubd this story very disturbing. Very twisted logic. Posting for others that may find it interesting. Unfortunately, other respobsibilities this morning do not allow me to remain around to join in the reactions to this. Will check back in later if possible.

The title sounds like a threat to the military.

An incredibly violent city is doubling down on the bad policy which has led to the rampant violence.

Very twisted logic So, if you have a gun, legal, or not, the police will shoot you? I understand that is boiling WAY down; it is the crux of the comment, though. Sounds to me that the Chicago Police just declared war on the Constitution and law abiding citizens.

Really!?!?!
Well, jackass. That is a two way street.
Your officers don’t really want to kill innocent people.
You’re gonna create some real anger problems and alcoholics within your ranks, as men struggle with their concience.

We have an unrestricted number of guns on the street in most parts of the country without more shootings. It’s only in big blue cities like Chicago where we have most of the shootings.

The quote in the article says that, if you draw down on a police officer you will probably get shot.
That is entirely consistent with the way I have always understood the universe. I have 34-state CCW but I make it a practice not to point guns at police officers.
THAT can ruin your day.

Putting gunz in the hands of psychos with a Napolian/Rambo complex is even far more dangerous and deadly.

It seems the Chicago Police may be lacking in training to some degree. Other cities and States with Concealed Carry are able to follow the concealed carry law.
With Chicago's crime and murder rates, maybe we need to label the Chicago police "Special Needs" so they can get help under ADA.

Yes, anyone with a gun in his hand when the cops arrive is strongly advised to place it on the ground and step away from it. That is the way it has been and I don’t see this changes anything, tho the tone of the statement by the police chief is very nasty.

It would be hard to identify a more corrupt city in the US.
It’s no surprise, then, when Chicago’s police department takes the law into its own hands for interpretation...

" when somebody turns with a firearm in their hand the officer does not have an obligation to wait to get shot to return fire.."
Well, no shit sherlock. Police have a right to defend themselves when their lives are in danger. However you could probably count on one hand how many CCW who had illegally fired a weapon. Now count on all 10 fingers and 10 toes and every hair on your head of the illegal carry who kill every day in the inner cities. Your mind is not operating correctly.
Your logic doesn't make sense.
