Concealed Carry License Holder Defends Himself in Chicago

Concealed Carry is becoming quite the thing in Chicago. From HeyJackass! - Video: CCL Shooting 300 S. Michigan Ave

These days we rack up more shootings involving concealed carry license holders than police-involved, but since we don’t yet require these CCL’ers to don body-worn cameras, we have to settle for a distant traffic camera to pick up the action.

300 S. Michigan Ave is basically in the south end of the loop. It is about a block and a half to The Art Institute of Chicago, a half dozen blocks or so to The Chicago Stock Exchange. About that same distance to the Willis Tower, which was originally the Sears Tower, etc. The incident took place at 5:35 AM on 14 March, 2024.

A guy was walking along, when another guy turned the corner and broke into a run straight at him. Apparently he believed that this constituted a threat, and he defended himself.

To our knowledge, the CCL’er wasn’t charged, nor have we been presented with high school graduation photos of the lead recipient or stories on how he was shot before while attempting to kill his uncle. No matter, Justice for Bum-rushing Guy!

As noted, there is video; use your own judgement as to whether or not you want to watch the video.
