The lines are clearly being drawn in the war over guns in the Windy City, and this week The Chicago Tribune‘s Steve Chapman fired back at Mayor Richard Daley. This comes after an elderly man shot and killed an armed intruder. As the Tribune blog post noted, “having a handgun ready may have saved their lives.”
The Tribune further sums it best with this sentiment:
“It might be nice to live in a society without guns and gun violence. But that’s not an option. So the question is: Would you rather live in a city where a violent criminal can break into a house with no fear of encountering a resident with a pistol? Or a city where the criminal has to worry that any homeowner may have deadly force at hand? I’ll bet the neighbors of the 80-year-old man would prefer the latter.”
What more could we say?
