LawDogRD10 Posted December 24, 2020 at 12:44 AM Share Posted December 24, 2020 at 12:44 AM I'm not having any luck finding any information/stats/articles on any concealed carry holders having been charged for a violation of the concealed carry act. I'd like to use these as examples of what not to do (or just as people that have gotten screwed) in my concealed carry classes. If anybody has any information or links, I'd appreciate them.

Euler Posted December 24, 2020 at 01:51 AM Share Posted December 24, 2020 at 01:51 AM One I remember: topic=73515 I recall another where a nurse was arrested for having a firearm visible from outside her car in her apartment parking lot, but I can't seem to find the news stories now. Moral of the stories: If someone sees your gun, they're going to call the cops, who are probably going to arrest you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InterestedBystander Posted December 24, 2020 at 05:13 AM Share Posted December 24, 2020 at 05:13 AM Chicago Trib database of shootings by CCL holders. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-viz-illinois-ccl-shootings-tracker-20200227-ww4ldqwdjrd2ze63w3vzewioiy-htmlstory.html ...More than 315,000 Illinois residents have a concealed carry license, about 2.5% of the states adult population. But the state does not keep records on when these license holders fire their weapons, how often they do it, or if they wound or kill someone. The Tribune combed through police files, court records and news reports to compile its own list. We found at least 71 incidents involving CCL holders and shootings or threats through February.... Some details discuss charges or lack thereof as well as decisions to not prosecute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carry205 Posted December 25, 2020 at 04:21 AM Share Posted December 25, 2020 at 04:21 AM I went back exactly five years and a couple of weeks ago, a story discussed here on IC, about a ccl holder in Peoria that got into an argument with a woman over a parking space, he pulled his weapon, and pointed it at the woman’s passenger who had gotten out of her vehicle. He then left the shopping center, went home, and that’s where the police arrested him. The thread was archived, so you should be able to find it. I seem to remember that he was charged with a lesser offense, and was sentenced. I tried to search his record, nothing came up, maybe he got it expunged. Article out of the Peoria Journal Star, Spec 5 lives in that area, (or used to), as did I, but I moved out last summer. The incident happened in December 2015. Good luck with your search.

Yettiblood Posted December 25, 2020 at 01:46 PM Share Posted December 25, 2020 at 01:46 PM Not sure if this guy was licensed to carry but he fired the second shot outside the store as the aggressor was leaving. https://www.pjstar.com/story/news/coronavirus/2020/06/04/liquor-store-clerk-held-on-100000-bond-for-shooting/42763123/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawDogRD10 Posted December 26, 2020 at 12:46 AM Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 at 12:46 AM Since posting this thread, I actually had an incident in which a rural resident stopped a truck on his road (one way in, one way out) while the truck was coming back out. Somehow, the burglary victim was convinced that it was the suspect that stole some of his tools a week prior. (He was sadly mistaken and we have no clue why he thought it was the suspect. The guy he stopped had absolutely nothing to do with it and maybe was just stopped because the victim didn't recognize him.) Anyway, the victim pulled a handgun and pointed it at the motorist and demanded that he stay there while he called 911. The motorist said '**** this' and drove off. The burglary victim fired a shot at his truck, hitting the tailgate. He then got in his truck and chased the motorist. He stated that he was "in pursuit" on the 911 call and refused to stop chasing him at the dispatcher's direction. The burglary victim had no CCL, which was irrelevant in this situation anyway. Needless to say, he went to jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euler Posted December 26, 2020 at 01:00 AM Share Posted December 26, 2020 at 01:00 AM ... Needless to say, he went to jail. It should also be needless to say that he wouldn't have been charged with a CCL violation. He would have been charged with Aggravated UUW. In the OP, you said you were looking for: ... any information/stats/articles on any concealed carry holders having been charged for a violation of the concealed carry act. ... That's different from CCL-holders doing things other than violating the FCCL Act. If you're really just looking for any and all stupid things CCL-holders have done with a firearm, there's probably no reason to limit it to CCL-holders. Just tell your classes "Here are some stupid things people have done with firearms. Having a CCL wouldn't have made them smart." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawDogRD10 Posted December 26, 2020 at 08:36 AM Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 at 08:36 AM Relax. I'm well aware of that. Just thought I'd throw an example of somebody f'ing up out there. Had a similar situation again tonight. ... Needless to say, he went to jail.It should also be needless to say that he wouldn't have been charged with a CCL violation.
