An elderly retired firefighter in Chicago with a concealed carry license fatally shot a robber in broad daylight, according to police.

The unidentified 77-year-old man was in a parking garage in the West Chesterfield neighborhood of Chicago at about 12:30 p.m. Saturday. The robber, who was also armed, pulled into the garage and demanded the elderly man fork over his possessions.

The man then produced his firearm and shot the robber in the head and chest, killing him, according to police.

Chicago police said the man had a valid Firearms Owner Identification Card and a Concealed Carry License. The Chicago Fire Department also confirmed he is a retired firefighter, Fox 32 reported.

An investigation has been launched into the matter.

“An elderly retired firefighter in Chicago with a concealed carry license fatally shot a robber in broad daylight, according to police. “

Was he supposed to wait until the evening to do it, MSN? Do you think that robber would have been willing to wait? Frankly, I would have left; I don’t think that I would have felt an obligation to stay and get shot.

This is a good outcome. It is what the left wants to take away from us. It plans to take guns from the non-violent producers while deliberately leaving them in the hands of violent parasites.

Reminds me of the William Shatner robbery episode in “Boston Legal.” “Here is my watch, my wallet, my keys and my gun.” Bang to the knee.

What a great scene.

Thats a lot of “sang froid” for a 77 year old. Good for him!

Self defense all the way, but I am sure the lefty asshats at Justice will make him hire a lawyer.

Waiting for that hammer to fall. Justified or not, if it’s white on black, look out!
