Only if you are a resident of IL, have both. FOID and state issued CCW.

Otherwise, you are illegally armed. Unless you are LEOSA etc.

His only plus is that at given his age and how long the legal process takes, he probably won’t serve that many years in prison.

Democrats need to raise a statue and demand Murder 1 charges.

“Only if you are a resident of IL, have both. FOID and state issued CCW.”

Correct. And in this case the hero apparently has both.

“shot a robber in broad daylight,”

And here I thought the article said the bad guy was shot in the head and chest.

The robber, who was also armed, pulled into the garage and demanded the elderly man fork over his possessions. The man then produced his firearm and shot the robber in the head and chest, killing him, according to police.

Thanks for posting a 'feel good' story...

Given the cost of ammo these days I’d say the fireman deserves compensation from the city.

678 people murdered and 3,766 people shot as of Nov. 1.

Oh, that's only about 15 murdered and 84 wounded per WEEK!

Does this count in the weekend shooting deaths?

“Chicago police said the man had a valid Firearms Owner Identification Card and a Concealed Carry License.”

What difference would it had made if he hadn’t? Would it then have not been a robbery? Also, why are police spending time looking up the gun records of someone who shoots a dirtbag? Don’t the police have better things to do? Like go after actual criminals?
