3 people shot, man with concealed carry license steps in, shoots gunman

[Otis Mayfield]

The gunman who shot three people standing in a South Austin alley on the Fourth of July may have gotten away with the brazen attack that left a woman dead — had a witness with a concealed carry license not stepped in, a Chicago police statement suggests.

Officers were called to the first block of North Menard Avenue around 10:45 p.m. Sunday and found a total of four people shot, a police notification said. But one of the injured men was alleged to be the gunman who had shot the other three people before an uninvolved witness pulled his own gun and shot the attacker, officials said.

Nearby, a second, uninvolved 49-year-old man witnessed the attack, police said. He had a concealed carry license, which allowed him to legally possess a weapon. That man drew his weapon and shot at the gunman who had allegedly killed the woman and wounded the two men, officials said.

It's the Wild West!

Would you have stepped in?

Even the worst shot in the world can occasionally shoot someone right between the eyes. There's always a risk in a gun fight.

The city is going to go after the CCW holder with a vengeance.

I don't think he's been arrested.

That's irrelevant. You people do lynchings now, not arrests.

 

[Blues Man]

IMO the shooting falls under the protection of others corollary to self defense laws.

As for the question if I would have gotten involved, I don't ever see myself in that situation because I tend to try to avoid hanging around in alleys after dark

 

[Calypso Jones]

If the CC holder was black there's no problem. Chicago police probably don't do background checks in and around chicago for CC permits. If they did, no one could get them.

To purchase a CCW license/permit, depends upon what state you are in. Some states require safety classes, while others don't. Some require range time, some don't. It boils down to the determination of the states, which it should be, not the federal government.

If I am in that situation, I only draw my weapon in defense of myself.

Others who get shot by a gunman are shit out of luck for not carrying themselves. They can die. Fuck'em.

My guns are for MY protection only.
