I bought this property when I was 65 & did extensive additions to it. AND I am female.

Good for you! Yeah, I'm 60+ and female as well. I don't have as much energy as I did when I was younger, but I'm a hellava lot more wiser, and that goes a long way!

She has a very nice place and horse breeding property.

If you’re nice to you, she might sell it to you...

Sadly, all three “teens” are now being supported by taxpayers.

Most likely they already were ...

The clueless author of this article struggles mightily and misses the story lead by a mile.

Let’s correct him:

“Heroic Chicago man shoots criminal teen hijacker in the head.”

Next paragraph:

Neighbors and friends of the brave shooter held a celebratory steak dinner at a local restaurant, while the hijackers screamed in pain as doctors set shattered leg bones and tried to plug bleeding bullet holes. The driver of the hijacking attempt may die.

It’s not that difficult to write a proper news story.

Why did the senior think he had the RIGHT to be in Chicago in the first place?

This story will disappear from news and we will never see the photos of the perps. The only reason for the story is to scorn those who use weapons for self-defense.

"56 is not a senior citizen"

Exactly. My oldest son just turned 56. I'm 75, and the senior citizen in the family. He missed being a baby boomer by two years.

"'Learned a lesson”? Doubtful.'"

Their families will probably file a lawsuit against the guy for damages...and win. That's justice in the USA Today.

Do people realize that the urban black community views the perps as the good guys? Watch the movie Get Rich or Die Trying if you can manage it. This is a way of life for these people and many think these thugs are cool and are heroes.

Its not going to stop. Arm up.

Added, “ArmedCitizen,” to the Keywords list.
Anyone else remember when the Chicago police chief said he’d have his officers shoot anyone with a gun whether or not they had a CCW permit?
This robbery victim is lucky to be alive.

“Learned the right lesson” should be the phrase.

These guys could learn the wrong lesson, ie next time use more people, or just shoot first, or pick obviously weaker targets...

The Second Amendment doesn’t give any right, it enumerates and protects that right.

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

Those that do are just in denial
