They'll Probably Be Charged

In Chicago, you’d better be careful. If you try and defend yourself from armed criminals, YOU may be charged with a crime, unless you have “jumped through all the hoops” required to get a “carry permit.” The story doesn’t say if the two store clerks were legally armed, but I’d guess they were, since they haven’t yet been charged with a crime (yet) while defending themselves. Remember, Mayor Rahm Emmanuel thinks only HE should have the right to self-defense. He can afford to hire it (with OUR money). Usually, convenience store workers (who are the most likely to be robbed, especially on the night shift) are barred from being armed, by COMPANY policy if not by law. If so in this case, these guys are in a lot of trouble for defending themselves. (Guns ‘n’ Freedom)
