During an interview on radio station WVON 1690 am this week Chicago’s Police Chief Gary McCarthy surprised listeners when he commented on the upcoming concealed carry law that must be passed in Illinois within the next six months. McCarthy made a scary prediction that citizens carrying legally could be shot by Chicago police.
News in Black reported, via Guns Save Life:
“You put more guns on the street expect more shootings,” McCarthy said. “I don’t care if they’re licensed legal firearms, people who are not highly trained… putting guns in their hands is a recipe for disaster. So I’ll train our officers that there is a concealed carry law, but when somebody turns with a firearm in their hand the officer does not have an obligation to wait to get shot to return fire and we’re going to have tragedies as a result of that. I’m telling you right up front.”A little background on Chief McCarthy: http://www.gunssavelife.com/?p=4732
McCarthy would not say what specific training officers will undertake if any. However, he did admit that in the past his department has made mistakes in shooting unarmed civilians. He believes the concealed carry law will increase those types of unfortunate incidents.
TSP smart ass comment: "he did admit that in the past his department has made mistakes in shooting unarmed civilians. He believes the concealed carry law will increase those types of unfortunate incidents"
Really? he believes the concealed carry laws will increase the shooting of unarmed civilians?
Them folks in Chicago must swallow any shit Rahm and crew toss out.
What great time to recycle a picture also:

EXAMPLE: "We ought to hang all the damn politicians and lawyers"
This is okay because it is logistically impossible, and I don't think we have enough money for all the rope we would need or enough light posts to hang them from, so therefore it must be satire.
