They Grow Up So Fast!
A 7-year-old boy was shot inside a Humboldt Park residence Thursday evening after another child found a firearm inside the home, Chicago police said.
The shooting occurred in the 3200 block of West Division Street at approximately 7:04 p.m. According to police and radio traffic, an 8-year-old boy located a gun inside a second-floor apartment. The child then discharged the weapon, striking the 7-year-old boy in the arm, according to CPD.
Cops applied a tourniquet to the child’s arm before the Chicago Fire Department transported him to Stroger Hospital, where he was listed in serious condition with a gunshot wound to the left bicep.
Police recovered a firearm from a bedroom shelf in the apartment. No one was taken into custody.
Okay, technically not a "shooter" but a curious kid.
Turns out, this might be a test case for a new Illinois Law:
- The shooting happened on the same day a new gun storage law went into effect in Illinois. The legislation aims to make it harder for something like this to happen.
This is one of those laws designed to punish after the fact, rather than prevent anything, because it can't actually protect anyone - there is no enforcement mechanism for warrantless searches of homes. But upon conviction, you can bet that this offender will never be allowed to own a gun ever again.
The fine is $10,000, but once politicians see who the offenders are, we'll see if it's ever actually enforced.

Yeah, the law will be two tier in actual prosecution and sentencing and I wouldn’t be surprised if some politician figures out how to give “free” (aka tax payer funded) gun safes to the community- only to never be used & -or hocked like the CPS pandemic laptops.
t's all good...Lil Shorty be keeping it real....
Ankle bracelet for the 8 year old and a new teardrop tattoo. Mama say the popo put the gun on Lil pookie
Pretty much all laws are not practically preventative, as common sense is the only proven method of prevention known.
After the fact, when imposed upon the nonsense addicts, can be effective at repeat performences of idiotic actions.
The most effective methods, I chalk them.
Chalkie
I'm guessing , striker fired and not a revolver!
Just a sad situation.
So Nike air jordan shoe boxes are out? Asking for a hustler.
no,no,no, those new gun storage laws are only meant to be enforced against MAGA, Republicans and legal, law-abiding American working citizens
Speaking of new laws IL taxpayers now have the honor and privilege of paying college tuition for illegal aliens.
Good times
it wont be enforced on :those" people/folks
What's up with the party in 025 involving illegal guns? Was this another back lot party?
Heard he got "My First Ankle Bracelet", a hoodie, a baby ghost glock, a box of shells and extended clips for Xmas.
Anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows to lock up firearms around kids....... oh never mind, happened in the ghetto.
How times have changed. I remember playing cowboys and Elizabeth Warren Indians when I was a baby Capone with my cap gun assault weapon. And to think no one ended up on a stretcher. Better times.
Out the door, to the Indiana liquor store....fo good
Darn.
Good one!
It began with free smoke alarms and cooling fans.
This the hood....ani't got no time for yo laws.....
Vote democrat for more.
No one in the ghetto will ever be subject to this law. Its be racist! Only a white man who protects his home and family from armed intruders will be subject to this law.
