Good Guys 1, Bad Guys 0

I wish we would see more stories about concealed carry in Chicago. And elsewhere. Chicago concealed carry holder returns gunfire on carjacking suspect, wounding offender: police | Fox News

Chicago police say a concealed carry license holder thwarted an attempted carjacker by returning gunfire, critically wounding the offender but walking free himself unscathed.

The 45-year-old male victim was in his vehicle at approximately 1:27 a.m. on Monday in the 5500 block of West Chrystal Street in the Austin neighborhood when he was approached by an unknown male offender, according to the Chicago Police Department. The offender produced a handgun and fired shots at the victim, police said.

Austin is one of the 77 neighborhoods in Chicago. According to the stats at HeyJackass!, it is third in the running for most dangerous neighborhood, based on the combination of fatal and non-fatal shootings in 2022.

The intended victim was a concealed carry license holder and returned fire, injuring the would-be bad guy. The good guy was not injured. Police believe that this was an attempted carjacking.

Chicago FD took the injured bad-guy to a local hospital.

Self-defense is a human-right. (Hat tip Liberty Park Press.)
