The video works just as well as justice does with honest folks packin' pieces!
keep em guessing. armed violence goes down because some bad guys dont wanna take the risk if they know theres a chance the good guys may be armed. . nicely done.
I love it!!! That was a cool and calm old man and I all have to say is way to go
FUCK THESE ANIMALS!!!!!
God Bless you SIR!!!
In Chicago that would have turned out differently because the communist progressives don't like the Constitution and feel citizens should be helpless.
Chicago Murder Capitol of the USA!
The only state in the USA without Concealed Carry.
I heard he hit both of them
Our new state motto: "Illinois-Home of the Victim!"
rb
He should be the next Superintendent!
hell yea! Too bad the radical POTUS is working hard to disarm the people
Are those hoodies I see?????
not so easy pickins, they must have followed the shit trail to catch these two.
Not LE, but think we need some of that here!
Right on, right on, right on! Concealed Carry.
Talked to lefty friends and brought up crime in the city. They responded that it is just an exaggeration and its just news sensationalism. Totally oblivious to their lives and safety. They quickly changed the topic. So sad that they create the prey for these animals.
I carry in the city and refuse to go down without a fight. Suburb cop.
Nice!!!! That man is a HERO!!!
and the media was too eager to report the citizen opened fire in a crowded store.
The two mutts running for their lives was too damn funny. Conealed carry; coming to a city near you.
The 1990s called.
They want their Internet cafe back.
Good shooting.Gutsy man. Think twice mothafuckas!
I gave my dad a gun because he and my mom drive between FL and MI a lot. He told me he kept it under the driver's seat. I told him it was useless there--when they stopped at rest-stops he should have it in his pocket and be ready to shoot. I told him he didn't have to display it, just shoot from his pocket if he had to. So far so good.
I wonder if the two assholes shit in their pants ? I'll bet they were two scared MF's . They looked like the 2 stooges tryin' to get out the door .Great job Old Guy !!!! Maybe if Illinois had CC more of these gutless offenders would be killed .
This video is a heart warmer. Looks like he had a pocket .380 Excellent gun for warm weather shorts and t shirt. Hides perfectly in front pocket. Only problem here is that when the mutts heal up at the hospital at the tax payer expense they will probably move to our sanctuary city Chicago. Their type of maniacal behavior will never work out in a conceal carry state like Florida.
Of all the states in the union. Illinois would have had the greatest chance for a successful robbery with dead victims. The CCW law in Florida saved someones life today. A valid reason to vote Republican in the next election.
As he was firing you could almost make out he was shouting, "surprise, surprise, I see it in your eyes".
Terrible just terrible. The old guy should have had a 17 shot Glock, extra magazines and more training. That guy could have pumped 5 shots each into the savage animals, could have been two shitheads DOA.
Instead we have to pay to get these oxygen thieves to trial and the old guy will likely get sued for interrupting the education of two future brain surgeons.
That said, nice shooting old guy! Let's hope you got some shots into them that they will long remember. I like the no hesitation come out shooting stance of the old guy, not a second of hesitation, bang bang. My vote for citizen of the year.
Of course you would never find any of the sheep in Chicago do that unless they were off duty law enforcement. Here they would try to reason with the shitheads and meekly surrender their valuables and promise to send a check.
Saw this one already. If only all citizens were allowed to carry firearms and defend themselves. theyre should be something in the constitution. Oh wait!
That's sweet, that old man had balls. It has to be nice living in a free state where the animals fear death.
He'd get locked up here. Chicago will never allow concealed carry in Illinois.
The "youths" in the video are claiming they had no intent to hurt anyone and that there guns were all rusted anyway. Looks like some lawyer already got to them. I hope those thugs get put away for a long time.
LOVE IT :)
Awesome! I wish I had been the responding Officer just so I could shake the Shooter's hand and say "Nice Job!" and "Thanks for the help."
We need more of this.....able bodied MEN standing up and fighting back against thugs.
My hope is that the local Police and prosecutors realize that this man is a good guy, and don't screw with him for firing at these 2 assholes.
The best thing is that he connected and hit both of them. If he would've missed then you know some libtard would be talking shit about why he had a gun in the first place. Good for him for doing what he had to do, good for his training and good for concealed carry.
I can't wait to hear their lawyers, "They just wanted to use the computers since their parents can't afford service at their houses. They had Skittles in their pockets and were just going to enjoy a little iced tea. That man had no right to shoot them, they did not shoot, they might have been playing a prank and shouted April fools at the end."
Great shooting. And also great that they show that kind of stuff out there on TV, maybe the bad guy will think twice before trying to do that. Oh wait, that is the whole idea of concealed carry.
Excellent. Illinois needs RTC now.
More citizens like this gentleman are exactly what we need right now in Chicago. This 60 yr old retired female has taken to carrying even in Edison Park due to the increase in predators and decrease in on duty police presence in past two years. That baby boomer in the video made my day! lol KMA2010
If that happened in Chicago, the news reports would be so slanted AGAINST the old timer that they would be calling for him to be charged with attempted murder of those 2 darlings that were right in the middle of turning their lives around.
If Ch. 2 news showed that clip, all you would see would be the old timer shooting at the ALLEGED offenders. Next, you would see one of their reporters outside the hospital talking to their families, hearing all about how good their little babies are and how they just fell into the wrong crowd.
This is why Illinois should have carry concealed law!
And why all officers on the job or retired should carry!
It will happen to you when you least expect it. Prepare for it now.
Look how calm this guy is. I will bet you a steak dinner that this shooter has been holding a weapon for a long time?
I feel SOOOO bad for Trayvons cousins
Way to go old timer! Where is Obama now? Why isn't he on tv telling america that if I had two thug kids they would look just like me. Lets wake people, get rid of this asshole and Quin to boot.
Did anyone see Zimmerman on hannity & Holmes last nite. He is saying all the right things...He wont spend one night in jail
There is a video of a shooting at a suburban pawn shop/jewelry store which is a good shoot/don't shoot lesson. Two scholars in broad daylight (already on camera) pull shirts up to cover their lower faces and walk into the store...one pulls out a gun...the owner pulls out an even bigger one...owner blasts the gunman with his hand cannon...both wannabe robbers run out the door and the wounded one drops outside. Total length of the incident from pulling up the shirts to leaving the store was under four seconds. Owner's decision time was a second or so. Shoot was ruled justifiable.
Remember when Gary Indiana was the murder capital ?
Why did violent crime go down there?
Think Indiana's concealed carry law could be the reason, just wondering.
Appears that the good guy is white, while 1 offender appears Hispanic and the other black.
If so, the Chicago media, along with the usual suspects of fake clergy, community activists and assorted race baiters would be printing t-shirts and shouting the overworked chorus of " racism ".
And let's not forget the offenders grammar school pictures.
Both offenders already released on bond

Yet the people in the store cheered the old man and thanked him for saving their lives.
IN CHICAGO !
Alverez would prosecute the old man for continuing to shoot after the threat ended.
trust me.
HE WINS THE GEORGE ZIMMERMAN AWARD, LOVE IT.
don't wait for concealed carry laws in illinois . carry a small automatic or revolver , the life you save may be your own or that of a loved one .
" I told him he didn't have to display it, just shoot from his pocket if he had to."
I guess its the liberal juice talking, but if one is going to fire a weapon in public, isn't some sort of aiming called for? Unless the attacker is atreallycloserange, that is. I am guessing that actual cops aim when shooting.
My worry (not advocating against it, just a concern) abt concealed carry is that, despite what we might wish to think of ourselves, most of us are not police material. How will/do the numbers play out, assholes shot vs bystanders ventilated?
Please don't just call me names for maybe doubting the SCC Common Wisdom; if someone has numbers that address this, share them. My mind is not made up yet and I like learning.
But my hat is way off to Old Guy In Video. I'd buy him as many coffees as he wants!
Why'd he have to go and shoot them down like a dog in the street?? They was both about to graduate with honors. They were turning they lives around!! Its the guns fault!!
And remember it was a Republican governor, Scott Walker, who gave our neighbors to the north the ability to save their own lives with concealed carry. But don't worry, all you Irish coppers and firemen, and your parents, and your grandparents, will keep voting for the Quinns, Madigans, O'Connors, and Darts!
I made my first gun arrest on 1st watch as a PPO in 1978. My FTO was 'resting his eyes' around 0300 hrs as I drove on empty streets in an all white area. I saw movement down a side street as I went by. I turn and see a young, well dressed, white guy, carrying a briefcase, with his hand inside his coat around his armpit. He looks up and we make eye contact and suddenly I see "THE LOOK". You know, that one where they see POLICE, and their eyes, face and body language says "OH SHIT, IT'S THE COPS!"
Quickly, white guy diverts his eyes and starts walking with more purpose, not running, but a quicker pace. I immediately back up as the guy turns into a white picket fenced yard. I tell my FTO this guy's acting funny. We jump out and tell the guy to stop and he does. I ask him what's in his coat and he says "a gun". SAY WHAT??? Turns out he's a jewelry salesman on a late flight home and carrying a jewel case full of, you guessed it, jewelry.
Now, Deputy Hanhart might have taken the jewelry and run, but this was my first gun, and I mean MY 1st gun since my partner was 'resting'. He suggested we COULD let the guy go, considering the circumstances, (FTO testing me?), but I'd just gotten out of the academy where we got a steady diet of IAD anti-corruption speeches and suggestions that we MAY even run into police "integrity checks" on the street. In fact, another guy in our district had just caught a purse snatcher with a purse FULL of cash where the fleeing offender turned out to be an FBI decoy testing for police corruption. He passed the test but it gave everyone religion knowing that it happened.
So, we make the arrest, I get my first gun recovery, I get my first Honorable Mention, I get a great evaluation from my FTO, I even get a mention from the WC for a good pinch at the next roll call, yet this arrest is the one and only one I regret making in my entire career. Even though the guy WAS guilty and lost his gun and only got probation, I realize that this guy was simply protecting himself "just in case".
I told that whole story to say this: For citizens to be carrying a concealed handgun for their own protection and "just in case", does not make them a criminal. There is no longer enough police protection in the city of Chicago to warrant feeling at ease, even in the most touristy neighborhoods. roving bands of thugs, robbers, thieves and miscreants have made the streets unsafe. The guy I arrested in my story, above, would NOT be arrested by me today. In this ultra liberal, anti-gun society, people have a need and a RIGHT to live peaceably and nothing will cure this society's problem with bands of criminals better than a few more dead Trayvon Martins' or shooting like the one in this clip.
This video mad be a believer in concealed carry!!!

It looked to me like he was focused on his targets and fired accordingly...where can I send that man a gift certificate?????
If you're a bad guy why wouldn't you want to live in a state where the citizens can't protect their selves?
Especially in Cook Co where you have an 80% chance of winning the case before it even starts.
First Travan then these mopes, wearing hoodies in Florida should be outlawed........
Now the FBI guy in NY is being hung out to dry for shooting a guy taking his car. The bad guy got away but possibly showed up at a local hosp with a hole in his back.......
That was GREAT
BRAVO old timer,wish you were our govenor,meanying balls.
Great video and great work by a citizen-taxpayer. Scenes like this play out all across the United States, where virtually every state besides IL has some type of concealed carry permit available to those who qualify. In most incidents, the display of the weapon alone is enough to stop the crime and no shots are fired. Bottom line: armed citizens can and do stop crimes.
We need that marvelous man on Michigan Ave.
God bless that man! No telling how many lives he saved. Because young, stupid criminals are most likely to shoot. Glad he blasted their asses. Would've been great had he killed at least 1 of them.
Anyone else see Geo. Zimmerman on Hannity last night? Seemed credible to me. Plus he has passed a lie detector test.
Trayvon was the aggressor and mistakenly brought iced tea Skittles to a gun fight.
Nice Shooting, but use a bigger caliber and bury the mutts.
Now what does the Rev. Jesse Jackass have to say about this?
Also, WGN-TV News leads the story by saying "Some viewers may find this video disturbing..."
Disturbing?!?!
I was CHEERING! It was TOUCHDOWN BEARS! Up yours Pat Quinn, Rahm, Hillary C., BHO and Trayvon Martin!
Pass the Skittles, please.
This video absolutely MADE MY DAY!!! How fucking surprised were these two thieving assholes when the old timer came out with that pistol and shot them both. This is what we need. Good citizens allowed to Conceal/Carry and strike back at these animals when they cross the line. You would not have all the havoc going on in our towns and cities if the jagoffs were not sure if you were packing. Good shooting Sir!
"Willaims won't be charged."
It is a shame that that the reporter would even have to say that, but in these days, I am not surprised.
"Remember when Gary Indiana was the murder capital ?
Why did violent crime go down there?
Think Indiana's concealed carry law could be the reason, just wondering."
Indiana's had a carry permit available for years. It's kind of insulting knowing that the people there are smart enough to carry a gun, but they're not smart enough in Illinois.
Gary's crime rate is down because there's nothing left to steal and the potential victims have all moved away.
Besides, Illinois victims are easy pickins!
I felt a sense of euphoria when the mutts were scampering out the door. Good shooting old timer. We need men (and some Annie Oakleys) like you here in Chicago.
Screw Daley, Emanuel, Quinn, Cullerton and Madigan:
CONCEALED CARRY NOW!
Support the NRA and vote for Mitt Romney.
"Willaims won't be charged."

"My worry (not advocating against it, just a concern) abt concealed carry is that, despite what we might wish to think of ourselves, most of us are not police material. How will/do the numbers play out, assholes shot vs bystanders ventilated?"
Cops carry guns because they have to. It's a duty requirement. They have to qualify every year. They get paid to train and the instruction comes out of their department's training budget.
A civilian on the other hand, carries a gun as an option. They have to seek their own training and pay for it themselves. Some state's carry permits require more training than others.
That alone tells me that the average civilian carrying a gun is more interested in its proper use than the average cop. Please note that I said "average."
This is certainly not true in all cases; many police officers I know go beyond the yearly 30-round qualification and seek to be better trained than the department mandates them to be, but it's a small percentage.
I've had the opportunity to train both civilians and police with firearms. I've seen good and bad in both groups, but in my experience, the civilians take the training more seriously.
They have been released on bond!
"That's sweet, that old man had balls. It has to be nice living in a free state where the animals fear death."
Apparently they are not that smart.
"I was CHEERING! It was TOUCHDOWN BEARS"

I was about to rip you a new one for arresting this guy and violating his Constitutional right to keep and bear arms while acting for anti-gun communists in Chicago, but at least you realize that you made a mistake.
Too many idiot cops don't understand that Chicago has been violating rights like this for too long. Just because they say it's illegal doesn't make it so. You can have guns. You should protect yourself.
They say they won't enforce immigration laws here, but want to hammer innocent civilians for keeping weapons to protect themselves with. This is bullshit.
Unfortunately, we still have morons that want to bust gun collectors and senior citizens just to get that bullshit UUW pinch. I only wish the same on them one day as this becomes more of a communist police state.
Ya gotta watch out for us 'ole guys. We didn't get to be old without learning a few important life skills!!

This is exactly why the cook county dems dont want ccw. They're afraid of the revs crying when armed offenders wind up being shot.
Fuck you madigan(s) you piece of shit, keeping Illinisians defensless.
Rise of the common man against the animals. Zimmerman, Goetz, etal..
I wish I was the emt, I would have idled it to the hospital.
Alverez would prosecute the old man for continuing to shoot after the threat ended.
trust me
Fuck that bitch. I would make sure my lawyer brings up the fact that an armed robber can still easily turn and fire through the storefront window. And that the threat is only reasonably over when the thug is not armed anymore, or out of range. How many times in police shootings does the thug turn and fire while running away, same thing here.
even Josey Wales would think twice
about drawing on him
he didnt just "stand his ground"
he chased thier bytch asses right out of there
now if that was chicago
Rhambo and McStreetlights would be whineing about how he shot them
and that those two bytches were misguided and should have just "Hugged A Thug"
if i was him and they said any thing about court and charges i would demand a trial by jury and let a "Jury Of My Peers" decide my fate
rhambo i know your reading this as well as seen it on tv
give up your stupid handgun rules
and let the state decide who is legal and who's not
the ISPD does a very good job on background checks and if thought a person shouldn't have one they dont get it

I don't see how you or anyone would call this a "good pinch?" This guy is an honest citizen protecting himself and would probably protect you and your family too. He is what we need more of in society, but I understand how you may have had to make the arrest. But it's not a good pinch by any means.

Amen. I've taken multiple formal training courses (including Ayoob, Cirillo) and the best shot in the class has usually been a cop ... and the worst shot has generally been a cop. In their defense, even the guy at the bottom of the class is out there on his own dime trying to get better. Randomly selected cop compared to randomly selected civilian gun owner? I say it's a toss up. Enough with "the civies aren't cop material" ...

I have not taken that step yet but I do keep a loaded handgun near my bed. I would sincerely hope that if I were ever caught with a firearm going about my day-to-day business, the cop(s) would look the other way.
Police carry as part of the job, but you can take your piece home at night and/or have as many as you want in your home to defend your family. I think it's only fair I have the same right (like the constitution says).
Someone buy this old man a brewski. If it was in Chicago he'd get charges pressed for firing at them as they were exiting.

SITE SEARCHWEB SEARCH BY UPDATE: Jewelry store owner won't face charges for shooting robber
Posted: Sep 09, 2009 11:09 PM CDT
KENOSHA (WKOW) -- The jewelry store owner who shot an armed robbery won't face any charges.
Assistant District Attorney Richard Ginkowski says the owner of the Jewelry Exchange in Kenosha was acting in self-defense on Wednesday when two men walked into his store and one pointed a handgun at him. The store owner pulled his own gun out from under the counter and shot the armed man in the chest.
Both suspects the store, and a police officer found the injured man about a block away.
The injured man is recovering at a hospital. Ginkowski says the man, a 29-year-old from Zion, Ill., is likely to face robbery charges. Police are still looking for the other suspect.
******
KENOSHA (WKOW) -- A jewelry store owner kept his store from being robbed Wednesday by shooting one of the would-be robbers, according to Kenosha police.
Authorities say two male suspects walked into the Jewelry Exchange Wednesday afternoon. One of the suspects pointed a handgun at the store owner, but the owner drew his own handgun from underneath a desk and shot the suspect in the chest.
The would-be robbers fled, but police found the wounded suspect lying in the grass about a block from the store. He was conscious and taken to a hospital. Authorities say he is in stable condition.
The other suspect is still at large. Neither of the men has been identified, but the wounded man is a 29-year-old who police believe is from Zion, Ill.
The crime scene is under investigation.
Wouldn't it have been funny if the asshole offenders ran and yelled after being shot,CEASE-FIRE, CEASE-FIRE!!!
and the news reporter sounded very disappointed that he was not charged. If you dont believe that watch it again.

Remember when Gary Indiana was the murder capital ?
Why did violent crime go down there?
Think Indiana's concealed carry law could be the reason, just wondering.

That could be part of it.
Part of it could be that there is no one left in Gary to kill.
"Enough with "the civies aren't cop material" ..."
There are a lot of cops that are not cop material.....
Awesome
I was about to rip you a new one for arresting this guy and violating his Constitutional right to keep and bear arms while acting for anti-gun communists in Chicago, but at least you realize that you made a mistake.
Too many idiot cops don't understand that Chicago has been violating rights like this for too long. Just because they say it's illegal doesn't make it so. You can have guns. You should protect yourself.
They say they won't enforce immigration laws here, but want to hammer innocent civilians for keeping weapons to protect themselves with. This is bullshit.
Unfortunately, we still have morons that want to bust gun collectors and senior citizens just to get that bullshit UUW pinch. I only wish the same on them one day as this becomes more of a communist police state.

I remember back in the late 70's riding with a CPD unit as part of the CPD academy Suburban class, making street stops and the confiscations of weapons from the older generation black folk on the south side. They carried for their own protection of course they weren't charged....my thought is let them keep it....
Progressives hate the Constitution not because what it tells us what to do but because what it doesn't. Progressives try to diminish American Exceptionalism and everything that we have accomplished the last 235 years. Live Free.

"...The guy I arrested in my story, above, would NOT be arrested by me today. In this ultra liberal, anti-gun society, people have a need and a RIGHT to live peaceably and nothing will cure this society's problem with bands of criminals better than a few more dead Trayvon Martins' or shootings like the one in this clip.

I don't see how you or anyone would call this a "good pinch?" This guy is an honest citizen protecting himself and would probably protect you and your family too. He is what we need more of in society, but I understand how you may have had to make the arrest. But it's not a good pinch by any means.

You don't sound like a Police Officer to me. In 1978, I did what I was trained to do as a cop. I DO NOT apologize for making this arrest. In 1978 and right out of the academy, my police discretion DID NOT allow me to let armed citizens roam free. It was, by it's technical and procedural elements, and by the letter of the law, a perfect arrest:
* The offender was carrying a gun IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW;
* As a P.O. on patrol, I observed a situation that, in it's entirety, piqued my suspicion;
* I chose to STOP the guy based on my "police sense", (hmmm, something looks odd about this);
* With a couple of standard, preliminary inquiries that DID NOT constitute an interrogation, the offender VOLUNTEERED that he had a gun;
* The man was arrested and the LOADED, ILLEGALLY CONCEALED weapon was recovered without incident or injury to anyone;
* The weapon was destroyed and the offender plea bargained the case ACCORDING TO ILLINOIS LAW;
* I FAITHFULLY performed my duties as a law enforcement officer that I was hired and trained to do.
This was a "good pinch" because of all of the above reasons...
It was also a good pinch because I did my job exactly as my training taught me...
It was a good pinch because, even though I was patrolling in a quiet neighborhood in the wee hours of the morning, I was still alert and on 'aggressive, preventive patrol' instead of "resting my eyes" in the hole somewhere (not that I've never done that)...
It was a good pinch because I didn't let the guy go and possibly get caught in an "integrity check" by IAD or the FBI and lose my job and livelihood for my family and humiliate myself and my ancestry for being stupid...
And it was a good pinch because even though cops are inherently given SOME power of discretion in performing their duties, that power is greatly diminished the higher up the crime scale you go, (eg. giving someone a warning on a parking or moving violation may be okay but murderers, rapists, pedophiles etc. go to jail EVERY TIME!).
Finally, 2012 IS NOT 1978. If you had read my comment, you'd have noticed that I DID say this man "would NOT be arrested by me today." Reading is a skill... learn it!
haha that was great. shitbirds didn't expect that i know. maybe they'll think twice before doing this again. overal great job sir and excellent aim.

Hero shooter is Samuel Williams, age 71. He was at the cafe with his wife to play "sweepstakes".
August 17th there will be a vote on CCW in the state legislator. Let's hope this is the start of the right young for Illinois and self defense.

"Willaims won't be charged."
It is a shame that that the reporter would even have to say that, but in these days, I am not surprised.

Once the Reporters learn about the "Castle Doctrine" we have here in Florida they won't be making those comments any more.
The "Castle Doctrine" has three legs;
the first that we all hear about is the "Stand Your Ground", no duty to retreat law.
The second is the "Presumption of Deadly Intent", or persons entering your home uninvited.
But the best part of the "Castle Doctrine" is the ""Bar to Lawsuites".
If the shooting is Righteous, the shooter may not be sued in civil court.
