Police: Concealed carry license holder kills armed gunman

CHICAGO – An armed man attempting to rob a neighborhood store was shot and killed by a customer who had a concealed carry license, Chicago police said Sunday.

A masked man, later identified as 55-year-old Reginald Gildersleeve, walked into the store and currency exchange about 7 p.m. Saturday on the city's southwest side, displayed a handgun and announced a robbery to an employee, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. The gunman next pointed his weapon at another employee and forced her to the back of the store.

The armed customer then fatally shot the man multiple times, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Gildersleeve was pronounced dead on the scene at 7:10 p.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner's office. He had an extensive criminal history, including prior arrests for robbery, the Sun-Times reported. Gildersleeve was set to have an autopsy performed on Sunday, according to the Chicago Tribune.

A little more of this and the crime problem will solve itself.

Poor guy is going to be sued and run thru the media as a "Race Killing", all because of him trying to do the right thing.

As a Maryland concealed weapons permit holder, I would have done the same thing. A phone call to the popo is not going to stop the robbery, and possible shooting of innocent people by a crazed multi-felony convicted asswipe as quickly as a couple well placed rounds to the center mass.
Thank God I have concealed carry insurance policies to cover me in the event of my weapon being discharged in any lawful manner.
