As residents of the city of Chicago suffered through another violent weekend that left at least five people dead and more than 60 others wounded, some are turning to the Second Amendment to help keep them safe. One legal gun owner and concealed carry licensee was able to protect himself when shots were fired at him as he sat in his car on Sunday afternoon.
According to officials, a 24-year-old FOID and concealed carry cardholder was in a vehicle on the street when another 24-year-old man opened fire, striking the man in the vehicle in the right shoulder.
Police said the man in the vehicle then produced his own firearm and began shooting, striking the initial shooter in the torso.
Both suspect and victim were taken to a local hospital, where at last report they were both in serious condition.
