BELLEVUE, WA – A young Chicago woman was able to defend herself against a would-be armed robber with a legally-carried pistol, thanks to two Second Amendment Foundation court victories that first nullified the city’s handgun ban and then forced the Illinois Legislature to adopt a concealed carry law, SAF noted today.
The incident is still under investigation, but it is certain that the 19-year-old suspect, who was fatally wounded, would have been facing an unarmed victim had not SAF legal actions paved the way for Illinois citizens to legally have handguns in Chicago, and to be able to legally carry them.
