Concealed Carry Holder In Chicago Shoots Would-Be Robber Dead

Earlier this month, a 19-year-old man attempted to rob a woman in Chicago’s Fernwood neighborhood. It happened at a bus stop early in the morning. The man tried to rob her AT GUN POINT, but the tables quickly turned. Little did he know that the 25-year-old woman was packing heat.

The woman, who has a conceal carry license, was armed as well. Surveillance video shows as they struggle, she pulled out her gun and shot him in the neck.

The suspect took off running down the street and she ran in the opposite direction. Police found him and transported him to Christ Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Who knows what the outcome would’ve been if she didn’t have a gun on her. At best, he would’ve gotten away with stealing all of her personal belongings. At worst, she’d be dead, which isn’t a stretch to say in the least.

“It’s tragic that he did die, but the lady had to do what she had to do,” said neighbor Bianca Daniel. “She’s on a bus stop, probably going to work, you know, and she has to encounter that early in the morning. I’m kinda of proud that, like, that’s what she did because she stuck up for herself.”

Those that know the area well say it’s unfortunate someone was killed, but the victim had the right to fight back.

“I’m glad that she had concealed carry and good aim, because there is so much going on in these streets,” said one neighbor.

The man has been identified to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office as Laavion Goings.

There’s an ongoing investigation, but it sounds like the woman is in the clear. After all, she was CLEARLY protecting herself.

Want to solve Chicago’s ridiculous crime problems? Make it easier for would-be victims, like young women, to get concealed weapon permits. It’s actually the most pro-women stance liberals could take. Why aren’t they jumping all over it?
