Great to see concealed carry responsible gun owners defending and saving lives.

Not exactly accurate. He used his concealed carry permit to use a shotgun?? I hate the media. Even when they don't interject their personal opinions (which is extremely rare), they don't get the most basic facts correct.

Even when they are close enough to hear it, they aren't always close enough to stop or prevent an incident. Glad the Uber driver was prepared and willing to act.
Police patrolling the area heard the shots and arrived to find Custodio on the ground and bleeding. Police also recovered a handgun found near Custodio, Quinn said.

I have to wonder if this was a gang related drive-by
I'll quit carrying a gun when they make murder and armed robbery illegal

This article says handgun.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/loca ... story.html
The driver pulled out a handgun and fired six shots at Custodio, hitting him several times, according to court records. Responding officers found Custodio lying on the ground, bleeding, Quinn said. No other injuries were reported.

That's no big surprise. Remember, it was the Dem's that fought against civil rights.
