A Chicago man who is awaiting trial for two armed robberies and a separate felony gun case left his home while on electronic monitoring to carjack a woman at gunpoint on Halloween, prosecutors said Tuesday.
But, because the man was not away from his home for more than 48 hours, he cannot be charged with escaping electronic monitoring under Illinois’ new criminal justice reform law.
Class X vehicular hijacking charges were filed against Peter Andrews just days before Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart will conduct a Zoom meeting, moderated by State Senator Sara Feigenholtz (6th), called “Straight Talk on Electronic Monitoring.”

Gets back to my idea. Turn puerto Rico into a penal colony. At least they won’t be able to leave the island. Upon release there will be plenty of jobs in construction(prisons) and prison guards. That way they won’t come back.
When you think of it-it’s more of a leftists idea. Just look at history.
Ball and chain would’ve worked. Especially if he was breaking out concrete with steel wire reinforcement in the hot sun.
Puerto Rico is too nice. One of the islands off the coast of Alaska is better.
.....”Illinois’ new criminal justice reform law” = “F’ you citizens!!”
Well, to be fair, they did know where he was 24/7. That’s really important because he’s “not supposed to be doing anything wrong”. /s
They intended to give him chances, and he changed that instead into opportunity.
Let's see, 2 armed robberies, 1 gun case, and 1 carjacking. That adds up to 4, so he'll get 4 months in prison and Illinois will call it even.
Was the victim a Democrat or a decent person?
Where is your weapon as you enter the car?
Where is it once you're seated?
How quickly can you access it if confronted?
Most likely you will have to wait for the right moment, which ain't easy.
Be ware shooting a fleeing felon!
*Puerto Rico is too nice. One of the islands off the coast of Alaska is better.*
I’m way ahead of ya. You won’t get any work out of them in those Alaskan winters. Puerto Rico is mostly black. They’ll fit in better once their sentences are up.. Good thing we’re not in a workplace right now.
I don't have one yet, but I need to get a cross-draw "driving holster" for that very reason.
Perhaps if I were over 200lbs. it would work....
I have an under dash mount, but that requires moving the weapon from my IWB to the dash mount, which isn't practical.
So, the only solution I have is 2 weapons, one carry one mounted.....And I HATE leaving one in the car.
I also was thinking of one of the fast western Aleutian Islands.
I only want one for use while driving. I carry a S&W .38 Model 642 Airweight in a DeSantis pocket holster. What I want to do is have the pistol in the driving/lap holster while driving. I will remove the driving holster and put the pistol back in my pocket when I leave the vehicle. I don't like to leave mine behind either, and only do so if I am going somewhere guns are not allowed (like hospitals, etc).
works almost as good as the face diapers...
And, there’s no requirement that you hang around to answer a bunch of stupid questions, just drive away!
