Another one of those "imaginary" self defense shootings in Chicago, complete with a FOID Card and concealed carry permit for the home owner.

"Last night readers reported hearing shots fired near Winthrop & Winona at 11:30pm, with the police scanner reporting that a man had been shot in the leg and shoulder. This morning the news broke that the man had died.

But this isn't the all-too-common Uptown gang-versus-gang nonsense. According to eyewitnesses and news reports this morning, it was an attempted robbery in which the victims handed over their wallets and phones, but balked when the robber tried to take the car from which they were unloading furniture. One of the would-be victims had a gun and used it.

An eyewitness sent in this account: At 11 25PM March 31st... I pulled into my parking spot. My neighbor and his friend were unloading a nightstand from his car and carrying it inside his place. I asked if they needed help. They said no, so I went inside and sat down to look at some mail.

At 11 30 PM I heard about 13 gunshots. I call 911. I call and text my neighbor. No response. I get worried... I go out front. Talk to another neighbor... She said she thought she saw our neighbor in handcuffs....

Long story short... My neighbor has a gun and a conceal and carry permit/license. It turns out he was robbed... I heard on my police scanner app... He was robbed by a known gang member."

"According to the Sun-Times, "The 28-year-old was taken Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he later died. The Cook County medical examiner’s office withheld his name Friday morning pending notification of his family. Police said he had been on parole for a past armed robbery conviction."

Just another typical case of "the streets running red with blood" after concealed carry passes. The good news, no charges will be filed against the home owner who defended themselves. Now, Chicago Coppers, complete the investigation and give this guy his gun back, don't hold it for a couple of years and maybe throw in a box of ammo and a range pass when you give it back.

Now, for those of you eager to respond, by posting stories of criminals using guns, that seem to think there's some kind of twisted moral equivalency between lawful self defense and crime, save your electrons and don't embarrass yourself again.
