Via Second City Cop
Nice shooting!Around 9:40 p.m. in the 2900 block of West Cortland Street, two male suspects with handguns got out of a silver Nissan and told the man they were robbing him, police said. The man, who is a concealed carry license and firearm owner’s identification card holder, shot both suspects, police said. They were taken to local hospitals and stabilized.
A few posts down from the above article SCC has a post on something on of his readers passed on. This person had a 4 yo daughter in Children Lurie Hospital for appendix surgery. A friend who is a uniformed Chicago Police officer stopped by to offer support -- and the hospital would not let the officer - in his uniform - in unless he checked his gun with security. No guns for cops unless they are on a official business. SCC notes the hospital has no metal detectors and no armed security.
Madness.
