Chicago Police Superintendent warns Officers will shoot CC'ers!

[Bunnykid68]

Pointing is never mentioned by the street light shooter or anywhere in the article. Why are we even discussing pointing when it's not relevant to what McStreetlight was quoted as saying?

Because it makes for a better conversation

OK. Now I get it. Thanks, BK!

I do what I can

yeah only cops should be able to have firearms!

Psshh they train more with their weapons than anybody...right?

 

[Fargo]

Don't think it ever said anything about a gun being pointed, just being in the hand.

What if it is an undercover cop that just defended himself and turns around with a gun in his hand?

NYPD has a bit of a history of shooting cops in that or similar situations:

My cop slay still haunts | New York Post

Police shoot off-duty NYPD officer - US news - Life | NBC News

Black Cop Shot by White Officer in 1994, First Thought: "Not Again."

I dunno about CPD.

If citizens are cc'ing, what would be the reason to have a firearm in their hand other than an absolute use of a violent self defense situation?

I'm unclear on your point. So you use your gun in lawful self-defense in a violent situation. Should the cops just shoot you as they arrive on the scene? That is damn near what they did in some of the NYPD links I posted above, particularly the subway incident, and all they did was kill other cops.

The Chief's statement is asinine and ironically trains his uniforms to shoot off-duty or undercover cops in his city.

Best,

Joe

When you can't run, you crawl.
When you can't crawl, you find someone to carry you.

im still laughing at the fact he things the Chicago Pd is "Highly Trained". if Guy Redford were to pack up and move to Chicago right now he could be a millionaire within the next year or two

I quoted what he said. Im saying something different. If you turn on a cop with a gun in your hand...what would you expect a cop to do? You've obviously never been in that kind of situation.

 

[Amishman44]

Sounds like a veiled threat! Twenty years ago I used to enjoy running up to Chicago with friends for the weekend...anymore, it's just 'never mind'!

 

[PX4me]

“... when somebody turns with a firearm in their hand ..."

No kidding Captain Obvious. Those are the ones to shoot.

The title insinuates the CPD are just going to go around firing at CC'ers, which according to this little tidbit would not be a good thing...

"... one study shows that ​

police officers are five times more likely to shoot the wrong person

than concealed carriers."​

Easily my favorite scene from Blue Bloods. Police chiefs' grandson shot and killed a man with a gun in Central Park. Gun was unloaded. I recommend watching the entire scene, but the 1:07 mark is where the fun begins.
