Or is a retired police office just a regular Concealed Carry License holder? Chicago shooting: Retired Chicago police officer describes shooting suspected West Side car thief in Austin - ABC7 Chicago
Austin, in this case, is a neighborhood on the west side of Chicago. It is about 5 miles due west of the Loop.
This is the second time a retired officer has fired shots at someone trying to break into cars along that same block.
The retired Chicago police officer, who served 30 years on the force, said his neighbor, Terrell Jackson, called to alert him when someone was breaking into his car.
The guy who got shot is expected to be OK, and he was arrested.
Austin is currently listed by HeyJackass! as the most dangerous neighborhood in Chicago. It has seen 47 homicides, and 157 people shot and wounded, which I believe does include this incident. 7.16 square miles should not be this dangerous.
Giving exemption to retired cops is how govt gets anti-gun bills passed into law.
ReplyDeleteNote: there is no requirement that cops receive any training after retirement. Yet they continue to enjoy much of the status as when active.
