Cops won't charge 2nd man in a week to shoot, wound intruder
Resident escapes charges despite city's handgun ban
June 03, 2010|By William Lee, Tribune reporter
A drug suspect fleeing Chicago police chose the wrong home
to break into Thursday on the West Side. A resident inside with
a handgun wounded the intruder, authorities said.
While the wounded suspect was hospitalized and later charged,
police declined to seek criminal charges against the 27-year-old
South Austin resident with the gun, despite the city's decades-old handgun ban.
It was the second time in a week that police didn't seek charges
against a city resident apparently using a gun in self defense.
The man in Thursday's shooting had a valid firearm owner's
identification card, but also a misdemeanor conviction
for unlawful use of a weapon.
What are you doing, spamming us about guns? This is a conversation thread.

It's pretty awful, isn't it?
@OmSigDAVID,
Yeah, pretty much everyone knew that wouldn't happen.
Why is the damn Blackhawks game on some cable channel called Versus, and why don't I have that channel?
Here edgar, here's a picture for you to look at.
I keep hitting up against the damn spam filter and have to wait 28 minutes to post.
I'm trying Chai2! But A2K is shutting me down.
I just came back from women's kundalini.
we were beating our chests for several minutes, like gorillas.
For me, it brought out a lot of emotions, as all those muscles activated.
Then, as the beating relaxed the muscles, those emotions just disappeared.
really cool.
@maporsche,
I know. I somewhat don't mind it. Maybe I saw too many in a row. But who am I to say that, scatter poster that I am.
Why is it raining at the front of the house but not at the back?
Some of my threads are worse than this one.
I had some threads so bad I wished I could flush them down the toilet.

Have you ever done kundalini yoga?
I'm posting this, listening to the theme from Rocky.
Trying hard now.
You don't like my house? What, does it stink? You don't like my house because it stinks? I know my house stinks.
