Concealed Carry vs Bail Reform.

Since keeping violent offenders in jail is unfair, people have to protect themselves. #27: Concealed carry holder shot man who opened fire on his car at McDonald's, prosecutors say. (The 'man' has 3 pending felony cases in juvenile court) - CWB Chicago

A 19-year-old man who has three felony juvenile cases pending was shot three times by a concealed carry holder after he opened fire on the man’s car in a McDonald’s parking lot Tuesday, prosecutors said. The victim, 49, and his 11-year-old daughter, who was in the back seat, were both unharmed.

He was masked, and opened fire on the victim's car. The victim returned fire striking the miscreant in the hand, arm and foot.

He was granted bail of $300,000 (which means $30,000 must be paid), and given electronic monitoring. Electronic Monitoring has not been very successful in Chicago, but that is another story.

#27 comes from the following:

Giovanni Castanon has carjacking, burglary, and aggravated battery cases pending in juvenile court, according to prosecutors. He is the 27th person accused of killing or shooting—or attempting to kill or shoot—someone in Chicago while on bail for a felony this year. The alleged crimes involved at least 58 victims, 12 of whom died.

CWB Chicago started counting a few years back, when the judge who was in charge of this catch-and-release fiasco said that there were no bad outcomes. The number 27 is just for people arrested in 2022 who were on bail for some felony.
