A man with a concealed-carry license fatally shot a would-be robber in Chatham Friday afternoon, sources said.
The 23-year-old man was walking in the 8200 block of South Ingleside about 1:54 p.m. when another male pulled out a gun and tried to rob him, according to police.
A fight broke out and the 23-year-old, who was licensed to carry a firearm, pulled out his own gun and shot the would-be robber in the head, killing him, sources said.

Score one for the good guys!
Chicago racked up 795 homicides last year ... fortunately, some of them were citizens takin’ out the trash.

Final number not in, expect a few more as some of the wounded die, still count towards 2016 total...

The dumbass wasn’t a ‘would be’ robber. He was a robber. He was robbing’ the other smart guy with a gun.

At least there will be one justified killing in Chicago this year . . . and it happened on New Year’s Day!

According to Obama a good guy with a gun has never stopped a bad guy. How is this possible?

I think they meant to say the “would be still breathing” robber.

Considering the ages, location, and time of day, I’m going to guess that this was a drug deal gone bad.

I’m wondering how this 23yo obtained a CCW in Chicago?

He applied, took the class, passed the live fire, cleared a background check and waited 60 days. Same as everyone else.

Usually CCW carriers and drug traffickers are highly disjoint sets. People who are already crooks don’t bother to be legal in other things.

Chicago racked up 795 homicides last year ... Rumor has it Jill Stein will file for a recount.
