It is something that seems to be catching on in Illinois. CCL holder shoots attempted armed robber at Orland Park gas station
A Concealed Carry License holder shot an armed person during an attempted robbery at a gas station in Orland Park on Tuesday morning, police said.
Orland Park, Illinois, is about a 25 mile drive southwest of downtown Chicago.
Surveillance cameras caught video of a man dressed in black with a mask and a gun walking to a set of pumps where another man was already putting gas into his Acura on the driver's side. The would-be thief approaches with a gun, but the car owner puts his right hand to his back waistband for a moment, then pulls out a gun of his own and fires.
The would be bad guy was injured, and ran away. Cops caught up with him, and they took him to a local hospital. No word on his condition, or any charges were released.
The Concealed Carry License holder is working with police.
Neighbors were shocked. Watch the video for that statement. (Note: You are not protected by your zip code.)
The owner of the gas station made a statement, that is both in the article and the video, basically in support of self-defense. The reporter didn't even seem to choke on it.
