Concealed Carry in Chicago Is Catching On

And most of us could stand to spend more time at the range. Concealed carry holder shoots at armed robber at taco stand: Chicago police - CWB Chicago

The robber was not hit by any bullets.

The well-known troublemaker pulled a gun on the staff at Taco Burrito King, 5413 West Belmont, around 9:35 p.m. and demanded cash from the register. Things went smoothly at first, with the cashier handing over money as instructed.

But then a “male victim” inside the restaurant who is a licensed concealed carry holder confronted the teen, Chicago police said in a media statement. The man pulled out his firearm and started shooting.

It was originally reported that the would-be bad-guy suffered an injury to his arm, but if so, it was from flying glass and not a bullet.

He ran for the exit, jumped in a black SUV, and sped away. But he didn’t get far. Police say he quickly crashed and then fled on foot. Cops caught him and recovered a firearm from inside his Honda CRV.

He will not spend much, or any, time in jail, because that would be unfair. Or something.

But at least concealed carry is becoming more of a thing in Chicago.
