A concealed carry permit holder ended the criminal career of a violent teenage thug. We will never know how many lives were saved by the actions of this concealed carry permit holder, but keep in mind...this teenage criminal was willing to point a gun at another human being in order to take their money....does anyone think that this teenage thug would not one day have murdered someone?
Chicago teen fatally shot by CCP-holder during attempted robbery
A 16-year-old boy is dead after he allegedly tried to rob a man outside of a bank in the Oak Park area of Chicago Saturday morning.
Police say it appears the teen, who was armed with a gun, approached the 24-year-old victim just after 11 a.m. intending to commit a robbery. However, the would-be victim was also armed and an exchange of gunfire occurred.
The teen, who was identified as Damon Phillips, was shot multiple times in the chest and fled the scene in a waiting car. He later showed up at an area hospital where he was pronounced dead about half an hour after the attempted robbery. It wasn’t immediately known how Phillips got to the hospital or whether there was a second suspect involved.
The victim, who authorities confirmed has a valid permit to carry a concealed weapon, was not injured.
No charges have been filed at this time, although the incident remains under investigation.
Bystander wounded during shootout between robber, shop owner
Good....you found one story.....considering Americans use guns 1,500,000 times a year to stop criminal attack (according to bill clinton and barak obama), and there were only 489 accidental gun deaths in 2015.....with over 15 million people actually carrying guns for self defense.....I'd say Americans are really responsible when it comes to carrying guns...
Wouldn't you?
You fucking idiot. You are still shopping that 1,500,000 times per year bullshit. You have no shame.
I'm not the one shopping that number....bill clinton and barak obama shopped that number.......and you find that number in 2 studies out of a least about a dozen studies......on actual gun self defense
Self defense with a gun......40 years of actual research...first is the name of the group that conducted the research, then the year, then the number of defensive gun uses and finally wether the research contained police or military defensive gun uses....
A quick guide to the studies and the numbers.....the full lay out of what was studied by each study is in the links....

*****************************************
If you take the studies from that Kleck cites in his paper, 16 of them....and you only average the ones that exclude military and police shootings..the average becomes 2 million...I use those studies because I have the details on them...and they are still 10 studies (including Kleck's)....
