All law abiding citizens of Chicago should be able to defend themselves with firearms, whether at home or in public. Crime rates fall when the law abiding public is armed.

I think the officer made a mistake taking his wife with him. Other than that, sounds like a story with a happy ending to me!

I believe he did a good thing. Anyone should be able to defend themselves from possible death with a firearm. All states should have castle laws like Texas.

Great story! And kudos to the Officer. I would have shot the sob too if he woke me up at seven a.m.! Some of us work nights ya know. Again, glad the Officer is alright and another pos is off the streets.
