Concealed Carrier
The Tribune initially buried this one in the middle of their report on 18 shootings overnight Saturday (crime is down!):
- About 11:50 p.m. Friday, a 22-year-old man was shot by another man in the 2900 block of North Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square. Police would not provide details surrounding the shooting but described the 22-year-old man as an "offender," and said he was shot by a 47-year-old man after he pointed a gun at the 47-year-old. The 22-year-old was taken to an area hospital where his condition stabilized. Police said the 22-year-old man was in custody early Saturday.
- As Custodio was allegedly opening fire on the crowd Friday, an Uber driver with a concealed-carry permit picked up his own firearm and shot Custodio multiple times, according to prosecutors and court records.
The Uber driver, a 47-year-old Little Italy resident, has a firearm owner's identification card and acted in self-defense and the defense of others, Assistant State's Attorney Barry Quinn said Sunday in bond court.
No charges have been filed against the Uber driver, police said.
The incident began about 11:50 p.m. Friday in the 2900 block of North Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square, Quinn said.
The Uber driver was parked on the east side of the street, while Custodio was on the west side, he said.
A group of people were walking in front of the Uber driver on his side of the street when Custodio suddenly began firing at them, causing them to scatter, Quinn said.
The Uber driver then pulled out a gun and fired six rounds at Custodio, striking him multiple times, according to court records.
A few dozen more of these and crime might really be down, eh Garry?

Uber Protests?? My baby was a good kidðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜. He was only shooting to scare that crowd. He wasn't going to kill anybody!
You mean the responding officers didn't shoot this legally carrying citizen? Isn't that what was predicted?
I score this one as a win for the good guys. CCW all the way
Is the firm of Loevy&loevy going to sue the man who was defending himself and others?
Good work, unknown citizen!
Isn't 18 shootings alot to have in just one night? I thought Rahm had a handle on crime.
Uber driver, you rock. Thank you.
Great job to the uber driver. Spread the word to the rest of the shitheads since the media wont. The pathetic media wouldnt want a great story like this out there to smear their liberal/democratic agenda.
God bless the 2nd amendment!!! And God damn Richie Daley and any business that posts a "no gun" sign on their door. We patriots must stand together.
O/T.......
in case all you ET hopefuls aren't aware be careful what you wish for. All future promoted ETs (happening very soon) will have to sign off agreeing that they won't grieve NOT BEING PAID D3 pay for performing the work of forensic investigator. I guess several current ETs are grieving not getting their out of grade pay (sound familiar acting desk sgts?) for doing s*^t the Crime Lab guys usually do. New ETs are going to be cross trained and responsible for a ton more things. Add the new ETs to the "do more for less" category. Can you say NOT WORTH IT??? Let me know when our useless "union" gets us D2A pay for ET then maybe Ill take it. D2???? NO EFFIN' WAY!

"Trial of Local Cop Echoes Divisive Cases Across U.S."
A recent story (09APR15) regarding the incident where a Chicago PD detective shot and killed a black woman on the street described the detective as "white" on the front page of the Tribune.
It isn't until you continue to read the story that you find, buried, the fact that he's white *Hispanic*.

OT: Teen Who Robbed Rahm's Son Now Facing Crack Distribution Charges
http://www.cwbchicago.com/2015/04/blowin-it-teen-who-robbed-rahms-son-now.html
Wait until some black youth mobs get mowed down by a concealed carry holder who feared for his/her life.
Jesse, Al, father flagger and the other race baiters will be going crazy screaming and yelling "racism".
Then the leftist CNN and MSLSD will give them all a platform and airtime saying its open season on black youth. Followed by Obama making some lame statement.
It's coming. Watch.
That was the whole idea w/ Uber. Rahm's brother is a big investor in Uber and the goal is to have them all armed as "tac" type soldiers. They're OK with the stat that just a few customers get raped in the back seat in order to have this social experiment tested.
The Chicago political syndicate and there media lackeys will go to great lengths to bury any story about citizens protecting themselves and others.
In the hands of the right people, guns save lives.
The web site gunwatch(dot)blogspot culls stories on citizens protecting themselves and others with a gun.
There are stories every few days of lives saved because a good citizen had a gun. On the other hand, stories such as this one where a nut-job shoots at citizens are relatively infrequent, even in Chiraq.
Disarming good citizens is not the answer. The answer is right before us: more citizens should be armed.
Uber is probably going to terminate this hero from driving. Wrong move.
Had the uber driver missed his target and hit a bystander, the media would be playing this 24/7/365.
To Bloomburg, Rahm and McCarthy, stop trying to brainwash us.
The police can't be everywhere when seconds matter.
Give that uber driver a medal.
-Citizen
If they haven't already, by the end of the day Uber will update their policies to ban drivers from packing.
News headlines will soon be screaming "Do You Know Your Driver is Armed With Guns and High Capacity Assault Clips?"
Uber lives matter!
this awesome, Rahm should give him some type of parade
Very nice. Don't fuck with Little Italy.
Awesome! As we all know now, Police are not allowed to do anything anymore without the media and race baiters calling police racist for justified shootings! Let the citizens handle the business and we will just write out the reports when necessary!
Imagine if crooks shooting at crowds had to worry that someone out of their line of sight might pull a legally-carried pistol and drill them.
I can see the Public Service billboards: "Don't Shoot, or the one you don't see will get you."
"Wait until some black youth mobs get mowed down by a concealed carry holder who feared for his/her life."
This is why prudent CCL holders also carry non-lethal defense like OC spray. As George Zimmerman learned the hard way, if you're getting your head beat in by an "unarmed" person, shooting them may still ruin your life. CCL holders can't run any risk of ambiguity; unless a gun or knife is used to threaten you, something LESS than your gun may keep you out of court where Bad Things Happen even to Good People.
Unfortunately this citizen hero will likely be bankrupt by the time he successfully defends himself against a probable lawsuit filed on behalf of the offender.
Haha. Let the Revruns' and their ilk boycott Uber. Seeing as how you need a valid credit card to use the service, I doubt business will suffer.

Is he married? Kids? Why don't you give us his address and the make and model of his car, too?
P.S.
I'm a Lyft driver. I don't want to be a hero, and I certainly don't want to shoot someone. But like SCC says, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away. Have my FOID, scheduled time off to get my CCW.
40 shot and 6 killed in Chicago this weekend and it's not even summertime. Really what has McCarthy accomplished to reduce crime? The answer is nothing. With that big salary in the private sector he would have been launched a year ago!
This should surprise no one. The only surprise is that the Libune printed the truth.
Fuck these animals who only know violence and mayhem. It's great to see conceal carry in effect as it was intended.
I can guarantee you though when a conceal carry gun owner fucks up or shoots the wrong person, innocent person, etc. they will make a big deal out of it. The media in this city has no shame and are the official mouth piece of city hall.
rham's son could not pay for his crack so "ole boy" took his phone in lieu of.
Rahm and Garry can not be pleased. Oops...almost forgot add little Tommy Dart to the not pleased list. Btw, will someone please buy that guy a comb, he looks like a Hobo!
Others on the not pleased list are all the 'Lincoln Park Hipsters'. The article's comments by those sissy-marys are utterly pathetic. When did America start producing cowards, cowards who are actually proud they are COWARDS. My god, how sick is that? If they reproduce we're fricken doomed!
Well That's Great ! I Love This Story. I Can't Help, But Wonder How Many "Law Firms" are Chasing After The Man Shot by The Uber Driver. In A Civil Hearing As To "Who Gave Him The Authority To Defend, "Anyone" but Himself. I Hope It All Works Out For Him.

This is music to my ears...it's like a Chinese massage fairytale story.
Always with a "happy ending"
My only problem is the Uber driver didn't kill Dude
O.T. hey department, where's my results for the ET test? Over a week to score a scantron in where less than half showed up? Let me guess, didn't have the right last names in the top 25? And bosses wonder why nobody cares about this place anymore. And to that bald prick inspector that keeps coming into 012 and writing people up for the pimpiest shit because he's too scared to go further south or west, a big f-you too you jag!

You must have missed the article a few weeks ago where charges were dropped. The "victim" lied.
This is one more reason for the left to hate Uber.
The Daily Herald is reporting that the Uber driver returned to his car and retrieved a shot gun!
Leave the gun...Take the cannolis
OT:
Who did we piss of in A/1 to get Det. K-P back? C'mon JISC, keep her.
Great job 025!!!!!!!
This is great if more people would get cc a lot more crime would be stopped an award should be given for an act of heroism on the drivers part.
Mahhh Bbbaaaabbbbeeeeeee Da uber shotted him down like a dog.
O.T. - Det. Dante Servin found not guilty on all counts from Judge Porter on a direct verdict. Thank God Porter knew the right call and had guts to do it in this "hate the police" climate.

This isn't the movies. Just because a person is shot doesn't mean they will die.
Our upright, law abiding Carry Concealed friends will have to start killing these armed Urban Death Cultists in sizeable numbers for this "y'all killin' all arra yung blak mens fa no reason" bullshit to fall by the wayside.
The Catered to Constituents can't wrap their heads around getting with the rest of polite society.
They're afraid that all Race Cards will become null and void...

Since the shooter was firing at a group right in front of the Uber guy's vehicle, he was defending HIMSELF, as well as others. (And maybe you should read the LAW, which gives him the right to act in defense of both.)
Re elected and already back to his smart ass ,thank you , no more questions walking away from reporters about running red lights . Ran red light , drove on wrong side of road at Cicero and Washington . Of course the bad colored people live there , it is very dangerous .
OUTSTANDING!
Bernhard Goetz and I will be flying into ORD tomorrow. We need an Uber driver to chauffeur us around the Near North Side. We want this hero to join us for dinner at Chicago's finest steakhouse; our treat.
Bernie just returned from Havana. Aside from sharing a jeroboam of Dom Perignon, we want this remarkable gentleman to accept our gifts--a box of Montecristo No. 2 (torpedo) cigars as well as a Crimson Trace green laser to improve his marksmanship.
Fantastic job by the uber driver for having a firearm owner's identification card and acted in self-defense and the defense of others, a true Patriot.
Not really smart to get in the middle of a gang shooting, could have gone really bad for this guy. Don't forget the litigation that this guy is going to get dragged through also, remember this isn't Hollywood. Glad he made it out O.K.
Happens in AZ often, but then again anyone can carry concealed (exception prohibited possessors), no permits, no gun registration! Several times the good guys have aided cops who need help. Its nice to see. B safe in the commie state brothers and sisters.
Detective Dante Servin found NOT GUILTY of Involuntary Manslaughter in bench trial.
From CLTV Website
"CHICAGO (AP) — A judge has found a Chicago police detective not guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of an unarmed woman.
Cook County Judge Dennis Porter, in a directed verdict Monday, ruled the state had failed to prove recklessness on the part of 46-year-old Officer Dante Servin in the March 2012 shooting death of 22-year-old Rekia Boyd. Porter also cleared Servin, who was off-duty, of reckless discharge of a firearm and reckless conduct.
Boyd died after one of the five bullets from Servin’s unregistered Glock handgun pierced the left side of her head. Servin has maintained he fired only because he felt threatened when he confronted a group at a park about the noise they were making.
The city settled a lawsuit for $4.5 million with Boyd’s family in 2013. "
Totally OT, but I was dismayed to see how a notable pro-lifer was treated: https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/arrested-for-being-eric-scheidler-on-chicagos-navy-pier
Rahm should give the Uber Driver an outstanding citizen award.
Good shooting and no innocent bystanders hit. Way to go Uber Guy!

Shut up you 012th district cry baby, he can leave us working police down south alone. Fix your shit...there's a general order that lays out what you're supposed to be wearing.
Imagine the shitstorm when this happens on Michigan Ave. when the "youths" are out on one of their field trips from Math Camp.

Illinois CCW No Guns = No Business Cards – Distribute as Needed
http://illinoisccw.org/illinois-ccw-no-guns-no-business-cards-distribute-as-needed/
just found out another class to be made the end of may/beginning of june. Once again, no merit in this class. only 30 to be made again. Does anyone have any clue why they are doing it this way?????? This is unheard of for this city and this department. Im not complaining, but you know that something is up or they have an ulterior motive for not doing merit for two straight classes.

Not bad shooting 6 shots and 3 hits, wonder if it was a moving target and what distance.There are days I can't hit the toilet let alone a moving target, guess it's time to get some range time in.

Thanks Jessie.
Good job happy good guy is ok, wonder if it will make more thugs think twice before bothering innocent people? On another note is there special addendum to insurance you can purchase for concealed carry to cover you in a lawsuit?
An armed citizen stops a possible mass shooting? Buuu...but...but the Huffington Post said that NEVER happens and that video showed that CCW'ers clearly live in a dream world.
No, really. They said that...

In A Civil Hearing As To "Who Gave Him The Authority To Defend, "Anyone" but Himself.
Good point!
And for IROCC carriers, other than nationwide ability to legally carry, whats the sense unless you are going out of state?
In state, may as well just go with the civilian version instead of retired P/O program.

The sense is most of us live in a world larger than the state of Illinois.
And you really want to pursue a line of thought that the shooter on Milwaukee Avenue was 'only' shooting at the people six feet from the Uber driver and therefore the Uber driver need not defend his own life? I mean, no offender has ever adjusted his aim by six feet and shot someone else, right? Trust me; you'd be a lousy attorney, so don't quit your day job.
