Around the same time [as incident in OP], a 55-year-old man accidentally shot himself in the hand while cleaning his gun in the Gage Park neighborhood on the South Side, police said.
The man, who has a concealed carry license, was in the 5600 block of South Christiana Avenue when he shot himself about 6:10 p.m. and went in a private vehicle to Holy Cross Hospital. His condition was stabilized.
WOW I am sure everyone in NWI that spends time in the city will be watching this one closely
Oh boy. Now this is where a judged by 12 instead of carried by 6 comes in. But good shot.
Yes. But I think (and I think most on INGO probably think the same) that he shouldn't have to worry about that distinction to defend himself.
I predict the guy will be strung up by the local government.
It would have no affect on the gangs, which is a huge part of their problem.National Reciprocity may be the answer to crime in Chicago. Just sayin.... Probably work better than blue helmets.
