IL man uses his CCW to defend himself!

Sparse details, but this is the first one I've heard about.

A 53-year-old man was confronted by two armed hoodlums outside his Chicago home in the wee hours of Saturday morning.

Found more details:
A 53-year-old South Austin man with a valid concealed carry permit was able to shoot at two men who tried to accost him outside of his home early this morning.

The incident happened about 2:40 a.m. ...

The man was walking from his garage to the front of his home when two males in hoodies appeared in a gangway between his home and the neighbor's home....

One of the two men pulled a handgun from his waistband and pointed at the man who took out his own gun and managed to fire several times at the males....

The males fled the area without being struck and the shooting did not result in any property damage....

Sounds like he needs more practice -- there wasn't "blood in the streets" despite him shooting multiple times.

Hoodrats beware Hope to read stories like this coming out of California soon so the "blood in the streets" lies can be put to rest in this state.

With all of the CCW threads asking what type of gun they should EDC. This just is just another real life case that the only thing that matters in my opinion is that the gun goes bang everytime. Caliber, barrel length, magazine capacity, trigger pull, really don't mean alot. It all comes down to training and knowing that your gun is going to go bang everytime you pull the trigger. Training being the biggest part because it doesn't matter what you carry if you can't hit what you are shooting at then it doesn't matter what your EDC is.

Maybe this will cause some of the Antis to realize that murderers do not obey gun control laws, but most will not.
