It started around 10:03 p.m. as two men were arguing on a sidewalk in the first block of West Van Buren, near the stairs leading up to the L platform. A 31-year-old concealed carry holder pulled a gun and accidentally shot himself in the leg, according to CPD. He then shot a 30-year-old man in the hand and fled the scene in a vehicle. A Chicago police media statement referred to the concealed carry holder as the "victim" and the other man as the "offender," but police did not say what the concealed carry holder was a victim of. The shooting was recorded by a CPD surveillance camera. ... ... then there was the running-away part ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odinson Posted June 2, 2023 at 01:54 PM Share Posted June 2, 2023 at 01:54 PM Maybe to find cover. Or concealment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbacs Posted June 2, 2023 at 04:02 PM Share Posted June 2, 2023 at 04:02 PM Why did he pull his weapon? What did the 30 year old man do?

GRab that tub of popcorn cause there is much more to this movie than just the trailer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTHunter Posted June 3, 2023 at 03:02 AM Share Posted June 3, 2023 at 03:02 AM Anybody care to bet that the gun was in his waistband and not a holster? In trying to get the gun out of his waistband, he may have grabbed the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty80 Posted June 3, 2023 at 05:35 AM Share Posted June 3, 2023 at 05:35 AM This reminds me of a Soldier that I had about 10 years ago. The idiot beat his wife, took off in the car and found out that parking in somebody's living room is a bad idea. He ended up crashing through a wall and the homeowners wife was pinned underneath the car. He got out of the car and tried to fight the homeowner. The homeowner pulled a gun, shot himself in the hand and then shot my Soldier. The homeowners both recovered. My idiot ended up with a dishonorable shortly after my retirement.

It's frighteningly easy to do if you're in a hurry. That little blue box gets all the way up inside your brain and makes you make strange movements that you've never done before. It's both hilarious and terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallbore Posted June 3, 2023 at 05:46 PM Share Posted June 3, 2023 at 05:46 PM Practice, practice, practice. Too many do not understand adrenaline makes a New York trigger into a hair trigger. This is why I stick with double action only. Anyone know how to get a big nose of adrenaline dumped into our system during practice. None of my clients with medical degrees had a suggestion.

In one of the FoF classes I attended our instructor had us face away from the target, then equipped two other students with foam training batons and had us spar with them for 30 seconds before blowing the whistle that was the signal for them to stop and for us to turn towards the target, draw and engage. Without using an EpiPen or a realistic enough threat to cause a dump, it wasn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our academy was religious in their teaching us that the finger doesn't go on the bang switch until our sights are on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Q Public Posted June 4, 2023 at 06:05 PM Share Posted June 4, 2023 at 06:05 PM I tell my students, without proper training, they are more likely to discharge on loading, unloading, holstering, drawing, then they are to fire a round in self defense.

lilguy Posted June 5, 2023 at 11:33 AM Share Posted June 5, 2023 at 11:33 AM Do many of us know how we will react in a self defense situation? You don’t need much training to get your carry license. Everyone should take more than the required program but most don’t I would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
