Self Defense is much more common in Chicago than is reported, because anyone with a record will walk away, even if the defense is legitimate, rather than risk the weapons charges.

Chicago? Concealed carry permit? He must know someone.

That wasn’t too far from my dad’s old neighborhood in Chicongo. It’s changed a lot since he lived there, and not for the better.

Illinois is a shall issue state, as required by Federal Court order.
People in Chicago can get permits, if they work at it. No special need required.
The City government has made it hard to do, because there are no legal ranges in the city.
Chicago cannot block permits.

As a consolation prize, the dead robber will get to vote in future Chicago elections.

The robbery suspect was transported in critical condition to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.Still, don't you love a story with a happy ending? And don't you wonder what kind of stupid $#*+ robs a cell phone store? The would get more cash by attending church and running out with the collection plate.

I carry.
I would not shoot someone robbing somebody’s cell phone store, were I there.
I’d be ready to shoot if the situation escalated,
but I would not shoot just to take out the robber.

The suspect was armed. We’re getting a snippet of the story, so we don’t really know what went down.

I would not shoot someone robbing somebody’s cell phone store I agree. To me, carry is defensive in nature. Going on the offensive to protect someone else's property is above why I would carry. BUT if any threat turned in my direction or family or friends, the response would be to immediately stop that treat.

Kind of stupid to rob a cell phone store. Double stupid to be killed while doing it.
How much cash does a cell phone store have? People pay for their phones through a "plan", not cash. You can't really steal a cell phone because you can't activate it once it is reported stolen.
