CCL-holder shoots home invader

There are no other details released, but obviously a CCL is not required inside one's home.

The 33-year-old concealed carry license holder called 911 at 1:24 a.m. and told dispatchers he had shot an intruder inside his home in the 2200 block of East 103rd Street and had already begun performing CPR on the man, who had suffered a gunshot wound to the chest. His home is across the street from the South Chicago (4th) District station.

Officers arrived and took over lifesaving measures, but the intruder, who remained a "John Doe" as of Monday evening, was pronounced dead at 1:43 a.m.

According to a CPD statement, the resident told investigators the intruder charged toward him, prompting him to fire his weapon in self-defense. Detectives are investigating the shooting.

I wonder if he had a FOID too.

Hopefully the firearm used was being carried concealed in the home at the time and not stored loaded and available for such emergencies.

I guess he should have his permission slip on his person as well.
