A 53-year-old South Austin man with a valid concealed carry permit was able to shoot at two men who tried to accost him outside of his home early this morning….
…The man was walking from his garage to the front of his home when two males in hoodies appeared in a gangway between his home and the neighbor’s home, Sullivan said.
One of the two men pulled a handgun from his waistband and pointed at the man who took out his own gun and managed to fire several times at the males, Sullivan said.
The males fled the area without being struck and the shooting did not result in any property damage, police said.
After the shooting, police responded and determined that the man was shooting in self-defense. The man had a valid firearm owner’s identification card, a valid concealed carry permit and police were able to determine that he had completed a required concealed carry class and was properly trained, Sullivan said.
Cops: No charges for man with concealed carry permit who fired at armed male.
Dear Chicago: Welcome to the Gun Culture.
The guy missed them in a gangway? A Chicago gangway is so narrow you can reach out and touch both buildings with your hands. That dude needs a little range time. Glad to hear it’s putting the bangers on notice, however.
Regardless, now we need to get more ranges open there, is all that says.
