CCL holder fatally shoots man in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood
Authorities said that an argument this morning led to guns being drawn and a CCL holder firing his weapon in defense.
CHICAGO – Police said a man was shot and killed by a concealed carry license holder in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood after the offender threatened him with a firearm.

He also had the Second Amendment, which should be sufficient.
No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him. — Thomas Jefferson

Wilted Willy will wet himself this morning over this DRT 3fer.
Warms the cockles of my heart, (or something) reading things like this.
Since the knife wielder will no longer be a student there, will Florida Tech refund his tuition? Or does he have to go through the formal withdrawal process, with paperwork and signatures?
Only if he makes the request in person. According to Florida College Law, all tuition refunds based on death must be made, “after the fact”, and only by the affected student.
Careful when you mouse over that Pietta.
I’ve heard they can self load, aim and fire on their own.
Welp, I’m going to have to amend my comments on the Alec Baldwin story. It appears Pietta is making the SAA with the transfer bar mechanism in blued/case-colored finish. Also, that pic of Hannah the armorer shows her holding both types of the Pietta’s, the traditional without the transfer bar and a gun with the Ruger style transfer bar safety mechanism. This means that if Alec was handed a gun with the transfer bar, it would have been impossible for it to fire without pulling the trigger. Without the trigger pulled, the hammer could not have hit the floating firing pin fixed into the frame. The transfer bar would have blocked it. Pulling the trigger is what raises the transfer bar so that the hammer fall will be “transferred” to the firing pin.
For the sake of authenticity, a movie maker would want the pistols without the transfer bar for close-ups with the hammer cocked cuz the transfer bar hammers are entirely different and without a firing pin.
(See the photos in the linked article on the Pietta 1873 SAA.)

Officers rendered immediate aid but the bullet riddled perp failed to rally.
A Trifecta of DRTs will certainly make our Wilted Willy Feel Good…and put a big grin on his face. They’re getting harder to find, not that they’re not out there, just not showing up on their news feeds. Frustrating.
Some of the Boys aren’t feeling reelz good this morning. That Artillery Punch kicked their azz as bad as That (Go) Army Mule gonna kick that (BEAT) Navy Goat. Others aren’t feeling good because of the azz whipping that the Tide put on them Dawgs. Tide Rolled thru the Dawgs Defence AND Offence like they were ‘Cump Sherman hisself. I’ll load up ’em up on Cheese Grits, with shrimps,bacon, and catheads, that should take the edge off.
Paladin used a repro SAA, Peacemaker Design, custom built for the Tee Vee Show. It was rather spendy when it was sold a few years back. Matt Dillon’s was an original IIRC.
My, my, my, wouldn’t mind one bit if that black haired beauty, with her big dark eyes, Ms Thang went thru the “manual of arms” with my “gun”?
The Chick in the pic should be wearing a belt on her dungarees so they don’t fall down. I moused over the 1873 but wasn;t worried about it going off since the barrel of the gun was facing to the left and if it did, would hit the wall.
On my screen the revolver is facing to the right. The AR being carried by the lovely young lady is facing to the left…. Just sayin.
For those that are interested, I’ll just stick this here…Enjoy!

Trifecta? With ya Wilted Willy, three less dirt-bags; equals more joy to the World. ‘Some of the Boys aren’t feeling reelz good this morning. That Artillery Punch kicked their azz as bad’ – it’s just the Artillery punch sterilizing the bad-stuff the body doesn’t need/want anymore… No pain, no gain.
I love it when a trifecta comes together. It is like the smell of napalm early in the morning.
Army Guidance Counselor at the Chicago AFEES/MEPS 78-83. Was told never to go south of 24th street (southern boundary of Chinatown). South side of Chicago was worse than the west side.
And students are asking, “why didn’t they deescalate the situation?”, “why didn’t they shoot him in the leg?” “he was going to school, how dare they shoot him?” “was he black? Because black lives matter…”, “I want to say I’m ‘triggered’, but that sounds too much like gun stuff, so I don’t know what to do…AAAAHHHHH!!!”
At least the Chicago Journal has good journalists, who know the difference between the victim and the assailant!
Clearly because he had both a valid FOID and a Concealed Carry card, and likely an up to date ammunition purchase card he was proficient with his chosen wireless peacekeeping device (which was appropriately annotated on his FOID and CCC licenses) and was able to not only draw it from its appropriate concealment but also bring highspeed projectiles on target while simultaneously avoiding incoming projectiles! Nice shooting Sir.
