"I would say in Texas, it is Stay calm and shoot back!"
That's why the guy is in Chicago instead of Texas - he doesn't have to worry about law abiding citizens shooting him.

My pet "tinfoil hat" theory on places like Chicago is that they DON'T want too many of the criminals caught because it always gives them an excuse to raise taxes "to beef up law enforcement". Of course, they never actually get around to doing that, its a rinse and repeat kind of thing.
