In the last posting here, we shared the most recent bizarre behavior of Chicago\u2019s Mayor Daley in regard to \u201cGun Control.\u201d Now we discover that indicted and disgraced former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich feels Mayor Daley isn\u2019t going far enough on gun control\u2026see LINK HERE<\/a> . How interesting that Blago doesn\u2019t mention that when he himself was arrested by The Feds, they seized his FOID<\/a> (Illinois Firearms Owner\u2019s Identification) card. Good that he\u2019s not a hypocrite or anything…<\/p>\n

If I can quote Blagojevich himself, who was talking about something else at the time, that\u2019s \u201cf—in\u2019 golden.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, an octogenarian Korean War vet in Chicago in the last few days used a firearm to shoot and kill a long-time felon (who apparently benefited from \u201ccatch and release\u201d justice) who invaded the home the shooter shared with his wife of similar age. In rural America, that would earn a pat on the back from the county sheriff. In Daley\u2019s Chicago, it has city authorities looking at whether they can criminally charge the old gentleman because his FOID card had expired, and because he used a handgun not currently registered under the \u201cgrandfather clause\u201d in \u201chandgun-free Chicago.\u201d Public opinion is clearly with the vet: see LINK HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This American veteran wielded deadly weapons in time of war as a soldier of his grateful country. He channeled that experience to protect his octogenarian wife and his 12-year-old grandson. It will be interesting to see if practical, street-smart Chicagoans hold the Chicago criminal justice system\u2019s feet to the fire on this, to make sure that this exemplary senior citizen is not punished for being the very exemplar of Good Defeating Evil.<\/p>\n

Last month, at the ILEETA<\/a> national conference of police trainers held outside Chicago, more than one veteran Windy City cop told me that the current mayor\u2019s dad, the original Mayor Daley, not only owned a fine gun collection but was known to go out in public carrying concealed a particularly nice Colt .38.\u00a0 Ya think his son might be rebelling against parental values or something?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
