From J-Fed to the Reporters... They all duck for cover as gunshots ring out
at a anti-violence outdoors press conference - one person shot
Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis holds news conference at 66th Street and
Marshfield Avenue this afternoon. As he spoke, a man was shot and critically
wounded four blocks away.
Man critically shot by top cop's anti-violence news conference
A man was shot and critically wounded this afternoon in the West Englewood
neighborhood, just blocks from where Chicago's police superintendent was
holding a news conference about the recent spate of violence.
The man, between 20 to 25, was shot shortly after 3 p.m. in the 6900 block
of South Paulina Avenue, officials said. He was taken in critical condition
to Advocate Christ Medical Center, said Chicago Fire Department spokesman
Quention Curtis.
A witness said he saw a man with something in his hand running through a
vacant lot. A short time later, the witness said he heard four gunshots. The
gunman had shot a man in a car, sending the vehicle crashing into a parked
car, the witness said.
The scene was cordoned off with police tape. Shards of glass was scattered
on the street.
The shooting occurred four blocks from 66th and Marshfield, where Chicago
Police Supt. Jody Weis was holding a press conference to discuss recent
violence in the Englewood community.

That's impossible. Must be a media lie. After all, Chicago has a ban
on handguns in place. It IS working, isn't it? :-)

Have they considered banning the drugs that cause the violence?
Or maybe more would be smuggled in from surrounding areas where they
are legal.

Yes...
New Hampshire has probably the fewest and most lenient gun laws in the
U.S. -- and about the lowest number of deaths due to gunshot. Perhaps
the Lawmakers should take a look at that state and try to figure out
how they do it? 'Cause whatever it is it works.

We do have violent inner city neighborhoods which are small enough not
to affect the totals much. In rural parts you hear a lot of practice
gunshots from the woods but there's little serious crime.

New Hampshire is better than Vermont? Interesting info, always wondered how the state
next door worked it's gun laws.
Compare Illinois to Indiana and that is night and day. I'm up in Michigan, not as nice as
Indiana but I'm pretty thrilled on the progress since the dark days.
In a culture where firearms are prevalent, the chances that the understanding of how they
work and the potential dangers is well understood. I wonder if there is a study of us
hicks vs city slickers on accidental deaths?
I grew up with parents w/o guns but the grandparents had them along with my uncle, their
son. I knew how guns worked and what guns could do.
Now being raised with a good set of values on what is right and what is wrong is essential
to stay on the proper path so the knowledge of arms isn't used for a wrongful purpose.
It isn't what you have, it is what you do with it. Based on how gun control has gone,
anyone with a 185 MPH Corvette should loose their license based on what it *could* do.
I'd rather be judged on what I've done. So far, I've just felt secure with one of my
PDW's near by. No one near by had a clue that I was carrying. No one has been harmed.
I was listening to the proarms podcast today, where a lady found herself in a dark parking
lot with multiple potential assalients coming her way. She was composed as she loaded her
vehical with groceries. She looked at all of them, one at a time, as in getting a mental
image of each. They broke off and walked away. Obviously, she carried and her response
in the flight or fight category made them decide to try for something easier.
Guns save lifes with out a shot every day.

Funny how Michigan and Wisconsin will trust a fellow from Illinois to walk
down their streets with a gun on his hip, without any permits or permissions
needed. His own home state would make him a criminal if he tried.
Stormin Mormon
the ones writing the laws. I'm not sure what the answer is.

As a person who lives in Illinois, too near Chicago; the local news
has been inundated with "Gun related deaths" lately. It almost feels
as though "Da Mayor" has told the local news to advertise all of these
gun deaths to help their F.o.S. case in front of the Supreme Court.
Maybe I'm just paranoid.

If da mayor really believes in gun control, have him dismiss his personal security detail
(they have guns).
The elites don't carry firearms, they have servants to do that for them. I can't afford a
proxy for my defense, I have to do it myself when allowed by said elites.
