Just saw this on the news....Predfan posted it in the firearms thread but this is about the owner of the store.....on the local news he thanked the new concealed carry law and the fact that his employee is a concealed carry permit holder.......I never thought I would see this in Chicago....
T-Mobile store employee shoots 2 armed robbery suspects near 95th, Jeffrey
The T-Mobile store in the 2000-block of East 95th St. was left riddled with bullet holes. If not for the employee carrying a weapon with a concealed carry license, the manager of the store says he might be telling a different story.
"I think concealed carry is a great opportunity for managers, workers, employees to protect themselves in these cases. And our employee did a great job to protect themselves and the other employee," said Neil Tadros, store manager.
He says two men entered the store and acted like they were shopping for phones for a few minutes, then pulled out guns.
One employee ran to the back to call for help while the other pulled out his own gun and fired at the two suspects. He hit one of them in the groin and the arm, and the other in the abdomen and the arm.
The men ran from the store with the employee chasing them, on the phone giving a description to police.
The suspects then drove to a nearby hospital where police took them into custody.
Neighbors say the cell phone store has been robbed several times in the last month. Ed Brown was working in the salon next door.
We need more of these stories and then the criminals will start breaking into stores when no one is in them...that way they won't get shot.....
