Chicago Police Chief: We’ll Shoot Licensed Civilians With Guns

Via Knuckledraggin' My Life Away

 

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.

“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.”

  1. Tell the chief that that rule can work both ways. Methinks his police officers will disappear quickly if they never know when or from where the next injection of lead poisoning is coming from. He needs to recall that we are his allies, not his enemies, but his reckless policies could change that status.

    1. Precisely. Southern Illinois is a far cry from the devious northern part.

  5. Need to find out who insures the city of Chicago for liability protection. Then send them a copy of the statement made by this dufus. I predict a rate increase for Chicago law enforcement.

    1. Yes, an imbecilic remark, but I guess we shouldn't be surprised considering the place.
