Tango7 Posted September 14, 2018 at 02:37 AM Share Posted September 14, 2018 at 02:37 AM Incidents like this have been documented in many (if not most) states with CCW, and while they are rare, they outnumber the times that CCW holders have shot another CCW holder while shooting at a bad guy. Yet which "example" got more press? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CILhunter Posted September 14, 2018 at 11:57 AM Share Posted September 14, 2018 at 11:57 AM Awesome story. Glad the CC holder was there. I assume since Chicago PD is going to handle the criminal investigation, the guy who shot the cop will be charged with aggravated jaywalking, and given a stern talking-to.

richp Posted September 14, 2018 at 12:33 PM Share Posted September 14, 2018 at 12:33 PM Hi, It's refreshing to see that channel 2, and both the Tribune snd Sun Times, acknowledged the concealed carrier's role in this event.

DonP Posted September 14, 2018 at 01:32 PM Share Posted September 14, 2018 at 01:32 PM I expect this story to disappear fast. For years the media has been telling the public that we'll shoot innocent bystanders or be shot by the police who can't tell who the criminal is, but it never seems to happen. When a story like this comes along they'll bury it as fast as they can. But the cops on the street can tell a "good guy" from a "bad guy" and every story like this makes them more CCW friendly.

richp Posted September 14, 2018 at 07:24 PM Share Posted September 14, 2018 at 07:24 PM Hi Dhan, Second City Cop had it early this morning. Friday, September 14, 2018Cicero Officer ShotExpected to recover: A Cicero police officer was shot during an exchange of gunfire near the border between Chicago and the west suburb late Thursday afternoon that left a suspect in serious condition and at some point involved a citizen with a concealed carry license, authorities said. The shootout happened near the Cicero exit on the Stevenson expressway around 5:05 p.m. during the evening rush hour commute, Cicero police said. Cicero police officers tried to stop a vehicle for a traffic violation in the 3900 block of South Cicero Avenue when the driver took off, according to Cicero police superintendent Jerry Chlada, Jr. Officers boxed the vehicle in on the southbound ramp of the Stevenson, Chlada said, and the male driver got out and fired multiple rounds at officers. Officer Luis Duarte, 31, was hit multiple times, officials said. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and his condition was stabilized. The Chief over in Cicero was very appreciative of the assistance: The alleged shooter then ran north on Cicero, and fired at another officer that chased him, Chlada said. A man with a concealed carry license driving south on Cicero in heavy traffic exited his vehicle and fired at the suspect, Chlada said. “We were lucky enough to have a citizen on street that is a concealed carry holder and he engaged in gunfire with this offender who was struck one time,” Chlada said." SCC is a firm supporter of CC. Rich Phillips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C0untZer0 Posted September 14, 2018 at 10:38 PM Share Posted September 14, 2018 at 10:38 PM One of the posts on SSC says that Superintendent Eddie Johnson showed up at the CCL holders house to get the man’s gun. I find that highly doubtful. The CCL holder hasn’t been charged with anything, no one has any legal power to demand his firearm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C0untZer0 Posted September 15, 2018 at 02:45 AM Share Posted September 15, 2018 at 02:45 AM I wonder how many police bother to get. a CCL. If they’re involved in a shooting and the department takes their firearm, I think the slag is that they’ve been “strpped” I’m not sure if this means they’ve temporarily been stripped of their police powers - so they’re no longer able to carry as a LEO ?

When my guys were involved in shootings, I handed them my own pistol as a sign of good faith and support that they had done right, I had their back, and gave them a well functioning/ sighted in piece. I'd use a backup gun until they had their temporary pistol/ rifle secured and sighted in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrc905 Posted September 15, 2018 at 10:20 AM Share Posted September 15, 2018 at 10:20 AM And right on cue... http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-cicero-shooting-update-20180914-story.html "Concealed carry licensee called hero for intervening when man fires on police, but 'it could have gone the other way'" These folks are so predictable - they even trot out an instructor to make their case: David Lombardo is a concealed carry instructor who has trained more than 7,000 people to get their state licenses. Based on media accounts, Lombardo said that since the concealed carry holder wasn’t being shot at, “technically, he should not have been engaged.” So, based on a scenario the reporters gave me; which may or may not be remotely close to the actual facts... Dude should've just said "I don't know the facts, therefore I can't comment." He had to know his "analysis" would be used this way.

C0untZer0 Posted September 15, 2018 at 01:18 PM Share Posted September 15, 2018 at 01:18 PM At first police were unsure if the perpetrator was shot by police gunfire or the CCL holder, but now they're reporting that the CCL fired upon the suspect hitting him once and ending the chase.

lockman Posted September 15, 2018 at 01:36 PM Share Posted September 15, 2018 at 01:36 PM The instructor seems to have violated his own principles in that he has assumed the FCCL holder was ignorant of the circumstances around the shooter. If the FCCL holder witnessed the attempted murder of a police officer and the following flight and attempted murder of the second officer, then no additional knowledge of anything prior is relevant. From the quote, the attitude of the instructor would foreclose any action against any shooter unless the FCCL holder is being shot at even it doing so would save many innocent lives. I will give the instructor the benefit of the doubt that his comments as a whole were proper, and this soundbite was taken out of context. The decision to act in defense of a third party is a personal decision and should not be taught as part of a curriculum of non-involvement.

I find that highly doubtful. The CCL holder hasn’t been charged with anything, no one has any legal power to demand his firearm Whether Eddie or another cop did I would be surprised if they did not. They would need the firearm to do ballistics tests to account for bullets, especially any recovered from within the perpetrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - ok, the guys entire quote has a much different feel. That wasnt a very good selective quote, jrc905: David Lombardo is a concealed carry instructor who has trained more than 7,000 people to get their state licenses. Based on media accounts, Lombardo said that since the concealed carry holder wasnt being shot at, technically, he should not have been engaged. But, Lombardo added, speaking as a former part-time deputy and an ex-military guy, the (citizen) was an angel. He knew what he was doing, he got involved when he didnt have to and he saved the cops life. The bad guy could have hit somebody else too. So who knows how many lives (the citizen) saved?
