The 31st Street Beach, recently renamed the Margaret T. Burroughs Beach, is part of the Douglas neighborhood, named for Stephen A. Douglas, Illinois politician and Abraham Lincoln's political opponent. It was the center of the Great Migration to Chicago, and remains an important neighborhood. The Checkerboard Lounge, made famous when The Rolling Stones paid a visit, was located in the Bronzeville section of Douglas, until Buddy Guy left the Checkerboard and opened Buddy Guy's Legends in South Loop, in 1985.
Lately there have been a number of violent incidents at the 31st Street Beach, so that the city has instituted a curfew.
Aside from a standard story of concealed carry, this is another in the increasing number of self-defense/concealed carry stories coming from Chicago.
