Chicago, Chicago...saw
a man who Ubered and saved a life...with a handgun;
Authorities say no charges will be filed against an Uber driver who
shot and wounded a gunman who opened fire on a crowd of people in Logan
Square over the weekend.
The
driver had a concealed-carry permit and acted in the defense of himself
and others, Assistant State's Attorney Barry Quinn said in court
Sunday.
A few years ago he might have been in trouble with the law.
As Cato notes;
Chicago was home to some of the most draconian gun laws in America until a 2010 Supreme Court ruling, McDonald v. Chicago, found Chicago’s gun regulation regime unconstitutional. ....
Under the previous regime in Chicago, the driver would have had to
choose between saving lives and avoiding a lengthy, potentially
life-ruining prison sentence.
No word as to whether or not he was driving an SUV.
