Tvandermyde Posted April 18, 2015 at 10:05 PM Posted April 18, 2015 at 10:05 PM got a call from somone who was involved in a self defense shooting last night In Chicago/north side. caught between rival gang members when one side started shooting. shot the bad guy 3 times, looks like he'll live (must have used a 380 or 9mm) spent several hours with CPD being interviewed and let go. He says they think its a good shoot. We'll know more later. he was suggested to call me. we talked for a few minutes. He didn't have a lawyer.So I gave him the name of someone I use that handels Cook. Andsuggest he make contact, incase this goes bad and gets another visit from the cops and how he should handel things from this point on.

solareclipse2 Posted April 18, 2015 at 10:17 PM Posted April 18, 2015 at 10:17 PM Did they take his gun or did they let him leave with hit?
chislinger Posted April 18, 2015 at 10:30 PM Posted April 18, 2015 at 10:30 PM Is this the incident? About 11:50 p.m. Friday, a 22-year-old man was shot by another man in the 2900 block of North Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square. Police would not provide details surrounding the shooting but described the 22-year-old man as an "offender," and said he was shot by a 47-year-old man after he pointed a gun at the 47-year-old. The 22-year-old was taken to an area hospital where his condition stabilized. Police said the 22-year-old man was in custody early Saturday.http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-chicago-shooting-violence-20150417-story.html#page=1
bw200 Posted April 18, 2015 at 10:59 PM Posted April 18, 2015 at 10:59 PM My advice for him would be to ask you not to post anymore until everything is settled. He shoudnt make any statements through people other than his lawyer. Time will come when he will be free to talk. I'm not anyone of a legal education. Just my opinion and advice I have read.
spec5 Posted April 18, 2015 at 11:07 PM Posted April 18, 2015 at 11:07 PM Thanks Todd. I hope it works out OK for him.
lee n. field Posted April 18, 2015 at 11:07 PM Posted April 18, 2015 at 11:07 PM Let us know, por favor. This is what it's all about.
tkroenlein Posted April 18, 2015 at 11:10 PM Posted April 18, 2015 at 11:10 PM Good job at staying alive, anonymous concealed carry guy.
Tvandermyde Posted April 18, 2015 at 11:21 PM Author Posted April 18, 2015 at 11:21 PM BW, I relate not much more than what is in the news. The other advise he is taking and for those who pay attention, when good people call and are in need of help, I try and steer them in the right direction.
Marie Posted April 19, 2015 at 12:14 AM Posted April 19, 2015 at 12:14 AM Todd, thanks for letting us know. It will be interesting to follow this. Hopefully, since I'm assuming the CPD did take the FCCL holder's pistol, the CPD doesn't deface it by engraving evidence# or whatever else they do.

1911 .45 Posted April 19, 2015 at 12:30 AM Posted April 19, 2015 at 12:30 AM "(must have used a 380 or 9mm)" I got a chuckle out of that. Thanks for the info.

BobPistol Posted April 19, 2015 at 03:45 AM Posted April 19, 2015 at 03:45 AM By chance anything in the media on this ??? I predict it will be buried unless the Defensive shooter has some dirt on him.
tkroenlein Posted April 19, 2015 at 04:10 AM Posted April 19, 2015 at 04:10 AM By chance anything in the media on this ??? I predict it will be buried unless the Defensive shooter has some dirt on him. What dirt could there possibly be on an FCCA licensee??? If he's farted too loudly in the last ten years he wouldn't have a license.
BobPistol Posted April 19, 2015 at 04:44 AM Posted April 19, 2015 at 04:44 AM What dirt could there possibly be on an FCCA licensee??? If he's farted too loudly in the last ten years he wouldn't have a license. You mean dirt like "oops, he shot the crook in the back as the crook was running from him"? Or "oops, he shot someone over stolen property"? Or a road rage incident? You know, things that advance the anti agenda.
chislinger Posted April 19, 2015 at 05:04 AM Posted April 19, 2015 at 05:04 AM I've said it before and I'll say it again: despite all the political stupidity about guns, Chicago historically has been permissive as far as the use of deadly force in self defense. Barring blockbuster new evidence I doubt we'll see charges against the shooter.
stm Posted April 19, 2015 at 11:56 AM Posted April 19, 2015 at 11:56 AM Thanks for letting us know what you can share with us, Todd.
Tango7 Posted April 19, 2015 at 01:14 PM Posted April 19, 2015 at 01:14 PM I've said it before and I'll say it again: despite all the political stupidity about guns, Chicago historically has been permissive as far as the use of deadly force in self defense. Barring blockbuster new evidence I doubt we'll see charges against the shooter. I'll second this. I've tracked a multitude of stories where there have been DGU's and the only charge has been a failure to register, which was usually dropped if the weapon was surrendered. Luckily since McDonald (RIP Otis), the registration is a moot point; maybe we'll see those lawfully owned weapons actually making back to their owners instead of becoming tabletop trophies for ICHV and Streetlights.
vito Posted April 19, 2015 at 02:39 PM Posted April 19, 2015 at 02:39 PM I've often thought of how I would handle such a situation myself, i.e., if I were involved in a defensive shooting. I subscribe to CCW for just that reason, and after stating the minimal to the police (as advised by Masad Ayoob) I would call CCW. I'm sure any attorney would tell me to NOT talk to anyone else about the incident, not post anything on the internet, etc. until everything was resolved to the degree that I was no longer at risk legally. I hope it never happens, and that someday I'll think about my carry gun as similar to the fire extinguisher that I have had for many, many years in my garage: never needed but makes me feel good to know it is there, just in case.

I do know of at least one other member who also lives in this neighborhood, and I hope it isn't him. Thanks for the update, Todd.
