This comment may not belong in this thread, but...

There is an article in the Chicago Tribune this morning about a fellow with a "concealed carry permit" who reportedly shot an attacker. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/l...,5324984.story

This happened in Chicago, and I did not see any reference to charges being filed against the concealed carry person, only against the attacker he shot.

There is not enough detail in the article to enable informed comment on whether or not the situation could have been deescalated or not. Reportedly the fellow was leaving a party with some friends, a woman in his group noticed a beverage container on top of their car, asked that it be moved, a person on the street responded by going in a house for a handgun, came out and began firing. The concealed carry person returned fire at that time.

The article did say that the concealed carry person was a military veteran, that he fired twice, and both rounds struck the attacker, who fired first.

If the tail of this thread about the demise of Illinois ban on concealed carry is the wrong place to post this report on this incident, please delete.
