Chicago crime rate drops as concealed carry applications surge

City sees fewer homicides, robberies, burglaries, car thefts as Illinois residents take arms

An 86-year-old Illinois man with a concealed carry permit fired his weapon at an armed robbery suspect fleeing police last month, stopping the man in his tracks and allowing the police to make an arrest.

Law enforcement authorities described the man as “a model citizen” who “helped others avoid being victims” at an AT&T store outside Chicago where he witnessed the holdup. The man, whose identity was withheld from the press, prevented others from entering the store during the theft.

This should be a wake up call to liberal Democratic politicians in Maryland. Yes, even the local ones. I live 1/2 mile from the Delaware State line. I can carry and protect myself in the Food Lion parking lot, but as soon as I go a block south into Maryland, I am breaking the law and become a criminal.

The whole premise of this article is Democrat LIES and DECEIT because the media actively participates in regular misinformation campaigns to cover for and shelter Democrat politicians from evidence that proves them to be inept and or incompetent.

Gotcha DEMS!
