Well now, a bad guy with a gun is stopped by a good guy with a legally carried gun.

It would make sense for Mayor Rahm to call a news conference to encourage other citizens to get their concealed carry permit.

But, that won't happen of course; doesn't fit the lefts anti-gun agenda.

The shooter will at least have to fight off a civil suit, if not some criminal charges by the city to discourage this kind of activity.

Actually, he is too busy to call a press conference:

I used to work three blocks west of there and it wasn't a poor Hispanic neighborhood then.

I wonder how hard it is to get a legal gun in Chi-town.

My sympathies to the CC person. No matter what happens his life is irretrievably changed. He will face not only criticism and blame from those opposed to guns, but will probably be sued and have large legal fees. I only hope that he is able to live with the trauma of taking another person’s life.
As a CCP holder in Illinois, I have often thought what pulling my gun could mean for me. I pray that if I am ever faced with a situation where I choose to draw and fire, that I have made the correct decision.

Police said the shooter has a valid concealed carry license and a valid firearm owner's identification card.

So the police know who he is. It had to be, of course, otherwise he'd be another Bernie Goetz and there'd be a manhunt for the "unknown assailant."

Hope he didn't say too much, and can find a good lawyer.

Reminds me. I’ve got to get off my butt and apply for my CCL.

In a properly working society, the criminal fears the citizen.
