Chicago man’s ‘illegal’ handgun saves life
Thanks to Chicago’s gun ban, an 80-year-old Chicago man may face charges after shooting an intruder.
The Supreme Court is currently hearing McDonald v. Chicago, which could repeal Chicago’s longstanding handgun ban. But justice may come too late for an elderly Korean War vet who was simply defending his 83-year-old wife and 12-year-old grandson.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that this man had been robbed at home “a couple of months ago†by “three intruders.†Afterwards, he “bought a gun and vowed never to be a victim again.â€
Around 5:00 this morning, 30-something Anthony Nelson broke into the home by breaking out a back window that leads to the elderly couple’s unit. There was a confrontation between the home invader and the homeowner, and the invader shot at the elderly man with his revolver. The homeowner shot back with his handgun, killing the attacker.
