gtr2009 Posted January 19, 2024 at 06:37 PM Posted January 19, 2024 at 06:37 PM https://www.25newsnow.com/2024/01/17/peoria-police-chief-talks-safety-after-facebook-marketplace-transaction-turns-deadly/ Anybody know from which state the CCL holder hailed? This is interesting - several other articles mention his license "allowed him to carry from state to state". But as far as I know IL honors no other states. However, they let the guy go with no charges. I'm pretty surprised, but pleasantly so.
Redlin Posted January 19, 2024 at 07:03 PM Posted January 19, 2024 at 07:03 PM Maybe the robbery victim/ccl holder was still in his car when the robbery started?
Jeffrey Posted January 19, 2024 at 07:08 PM Posted January 19, 2024 at 07:08 PM Probably another case like we'd hear once in a great while about someone on the brink of meeting their maker yet miraculously find a gun to protect themselves but without a permission slip I mean FOID.
Mr. Fife Posted January 20, 2024 at 03:20 PM Posted January 20, 2024 at 03:20 PM Could have had a LEOSA permit maybe.

Quiet Observer Posted January 20, 2024 at 09:58 PM Posted January 20, 2024 at 09:58 PM Peoria PD may have decided that was not worth the effort to pursue the matter further. They have that discretion. They can always have another look. His name and address are on file. They might be spending more time on the other robbers. Juries are not predictable, even in NYC. 1984 New York City Subway shooting - Wikipedia FWIW: Peoria is not a 2A sanctuary county.
fxdpntc Posted January 21, 2024 at 04:24 AM Posted January 21, 2024 at 04:24 AM I once used that “route” to get from downtown to the west side of Peoria. In the daytime. I vowed to try not to be that stupid ever again.

Mr. Fife Posted January 21, 2024 at 03:16 PM Posted January 21, 2024 at 03:16 PM If it went to court and the judge ruled in favor of the out of state CCL holder, it would set a precedent that they don't want in Illinois. Similar to how before McDonald v. City of Chicago, despite a complete ban on handguns, nobody was ever charged for defending their home with a gun.
