Criminals Can't Read Signs
Doesn't this mean anything????
An armed man fired a shot during a robbery attempt aboard a Green Line train last week, prosecutors said.
The victim, a 26-year-old man from Ohio, was riding the train southbound near 47th Street when 19-year-old Marquise Smith approached him around 1:15 a.m. on May 28, prosecutors said.
“Do you want to die?” Smith allegedly asked the victim, who immediately moved to the other end of the train car. But officials said Smith pulled out a handgun and pushed him from one end of the car to the other while trying to take his camera at gunpoint.
The victim crossed between cars while the train was moving and then blocked Smith by closing the door behind him and using his body weight to hold the door shut, prosecutors said. Smith, standing between the two train cars, allegedly fired a shot into the air, and the victim quickly activated the train’s emergency signal, alerting the train operator.
We're just going to say it - if you ride the CTA without a means of self defense, you're soft.
It's obvious no one is checking the criminals, so why would you worry about being checked?
HeyJackass.com has a section for "2026 Self Defense"
Three total incidents? That number is far too low:
- 2025 was 4 dead, 9 wounded
- 2024 was 8 dead, 19 wounded
- 2023 was 8 dead, 15 wounded
- 2022 was 9 dead, 16 wounded
Make Self Defense Great Again - boost those numbers.

Passing between cars, that's 2 ANOV's, can I go home early?
That sign means little. Few of us left carry Barettas
Paging Mr. Bernard Goetz....white courtesy phone on the Green Line Please....
Surprised the victim wasn’t charged with crossing between cars. See CTA Rule # 13, Crossing between cars, transit Chicago.com Being chased by a crazed gunman is no excuse for crossing between cars!!!!!!
“ Doesn't this mean anything????”
Yes, no auto pistols, all other firearms are allowed!
CTA is just a moving crime scene. Riders beware, rider at your own risk!
Green line at 1 am WTF is the matter with you . Call an uber dumbass
I always took that sign as no "Beretta Brigadiers". You know, Riggs' Lethal Weapon sidearm.
The numbers are obviously being cooked! How do you have a reduction without any action being taken?
Instead of suicide by cop it will be suicide by CTA.
Those are rookie numbers.
That symbol would make a great shirt. Just like the ghostbusters shirts back in the 80’s
Criminals Cant Read Period!! Welcome to CPS!
Most Criminals come from CPS. Congrats.
The problem with this scenario is that an otherwise law abiding citizen catches a charge of having and discharging a firearm where you are not supposed to (whatever the legal term is). Not even CCW permit will save you on this.
Well as I look at the sign it says no Beretta 92 pistol, nothing about other brands or wheel guns, am I wrong?
He was just funnin. It's not like he was carrying hammers threatening to kill white people or dousing someone with gasoline and lighting them on fire or stabbing someone to death while filming the incident with his phone. The CTA assumes no liability, ride at your own risk.
Ohio tourist? He may not be coming back.
'do you want to die?'.. *bang bang* *thump*
no, i don't...
guess i need a new jacket now though, this pocket's blown out.
It had a pic of a Beretta 92. Other handguns are OK.
they be cps honor roll graduates that can't read, why put up signs?
I always leave my gun in the car if I see that sign.
Great shirt? ... How about IL's new state flag.
I'm hoping he's able to recover his pictures he took of the new Obumma museum ...
Yea soft for not carrying on the CTA but a lot of cops would love a gun pinch and judges would throw the book at whitey for carrying a pistol on CTA and you know it. You tend to forget that in a lot of your analyses, SCC.
Death Wish was on the movie channel last night. The Ohio man should have prepared himself for Chicago, Like Paul Kersey did.
I give president Trump and Tom Homan and ICE any credit for crime reduction in American cities. A lot of riff raff has been deported. These democrats are just glomming on and taking credit for it. Brand Dumb doesnt have a plan or a clue or you would hear it at roll calls. It would be called a mayors summer crime intitiative or something.
He'll have an interesting story for the folks back home, at least.
