That young man is 14 years old. It is NOT legal in the State of Illinois for a 14 year old to possess a handgun. He doesn’t have a FOID card, which is needed in Illinois to posses a handgun, or ANY firearm.
Self defense my a**. In Illinois, shooting someone in the back doesn’t count as self defense, especially if the person being shot is running away.
This is wrong on so many levels. BUT, it’s Chicago, so……
I could be mistaken. I thought I did read where he had a legal license and proper firearm and if I got it mixed up, I apologize.
I believe you would be correct. A 14 year old cannot legally own a firearm in Illinois.
Good catch.
