Would-Be Robbers Made Their Move On A Concealed Carrying Senior Citizen In Chicago – Learned A Lesson They Will Never Forget
Defiant America ^ | Mack Cogburn

Posted on 12/07/2022 2:27:55 PM PST by thegagline

A concealed carry holder shot two teenagers who were trying to rob him Monday morning in Austin, according to Chicago police.

The man, 56, was in his car in the 4700 block of West Arthington Avenue when three teens approached in another car just before 6 a.m., police said.

The incident unfolded around 6 a.m. in the city’s west side when a vehicle with “three males inside” approached the victim, who was inside his own vehicle, Chicago Police told Fox News Digital in a statement.

“One of the individuals got out of the vehicle, pointed a firearm at the victim and demanded his belongings,” police said.

“A struggle ensued before the victim,” whom police say legally owned a firearm and was a concealed carry license holder, “withdrew his weapon and fired several rounds.”

Chicago Police say “The offending vehicle then attempted to flee, but crashed nearby.”

The teen who was driving was struck in his head and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition, police said.

Another teen was located several blocks away with a gunshot wound to his shoulder. He was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition, police said.

The third teen broke his leg in the crash and was transported to a hospital in fair condition, police said. ***

Hey, those teens were just trying to make a living.

The ‘senior’ should be prosecuted and forbidden from ever owing a gun again.

It’s a new way of life in this new America. Get used to it.

Gee wiz, Lumpy you're right. Ever since Corn Pop and his gang moved in, things have been tough.

I heard that new life guard at the pool is gonna cut him down to size. He's an old guy who's always sniffing girls and stuff, but I hope he wins.

AARP has been sending me solicitations since I was in the late 40s. It made me feel old then and makes me feel old now.

A CCW permit holder huh. So what, now one has to be approved by the state before one can exercise the right to defend themselves with a firearm? That is so EFFED. The Second Amendment gives everyone the right to bear arms for self defense and in defense of this country. States CCW laws that require one to have a permit are contrary to the original intent of the Second Amendment and therefore are legally unenforceable. Only a bought and paid for AG, DA and a crooked bought and paid for judge would prosecute anyone who defends themselves in a deadly assault case such as this one. Tried by 12 or carried by 6, take your pick. But it’s the law. Eff that, it’s my life.

First of all, age 56 is a “senior” citizen? Damn, I practically ancient then!

Secondly, good for him for carrying and being willing to protect himself.

It irks me that “conservatives” like Tucker Carlson, Hannity, Bongino, and Gutfeld can go on and on about black on black crime but never mention black on white crime. They are all cowards.

Better not to mention black on white crime than to permanently lose your reputation via the woke members of the media by being called a “racist”.

I refuse to let pride keep me from a nice discount!
