An 80-year-old Chicago man shot and killed an armed man who broke into his two-story house in a pre-dawn home invasion Wednesday on the city's West Side.

At about 5:20 a.m., the homeowner and his wife, also in her 80s, discovered the intruder entering their home by a back door. In a struggle at their doorstep, the intruder fired his revolver but was struck in the chest and died of his wound, police said.

"It's a good thing they had a gun, or they might be dead," said Curtis Thompson, who lives next door to the couple, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Kind of a shocker that the last quote actually got into the paper in Chi-town.

This is the reason we have the 2nd Amendment and the reason I own firearms and carry a 1911 in .45ACP.  Because sometimes, bad guys are armed and have ill intent for you and your loved ones.  


Oh Yeah,  Mayor Daley,  this is why people need guns.  Self defense.   Bad Guys have guns anyway.  Maybe that elderly couple should sue you for allowing that bad guy to have a gun.   Why didn't your law work?   Dumb de dumb, dumb.
