“I’m not understanding how this isn’t self defense.”
As Blennos said, this happened in Glendale Heights, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.
I don’t even drive through Illinois because I carry.
I live in Illinois and I carry, as do many others.
The area around Chicago may be a little different. I’m about 90 miles from there.
If I’m traveling to Chicago to visit my daughter I don’t carry- I know I should, but should something happen (traffic incident, most likely) I don’t want a gun on me if the cops come callin. I’m a stranger in a strange land, and if someone is gonna cut me off in traffic around there, I’m gonna let them.
Years ago when she had her first apartment shared with another student, we had to drive thru Cicero to get there. That was before we had CCL in Illinois. I wish I could’ve been carrying back then. That was white knuckle driving at its finest😮
