Concealed Carry Permit Holder Stops Mass Shooting in Chicago

Concealed Carry Permit Holder Stops Mass Shooting in Chicago

Liberal gun grabbers attempt time after time to beat it into our heads that guns are bad, mmmkay — some of you might remember that from South Park ages ago, others of you will have no clue — and basically the Second Amendment is the root of all evil.

Loony lefties constantly bombard us with statistics attempting to prove their point and hope we’ll all decide to give up our right to bear arms willingly, but what they don’t ever talk about is how guns actually save lives.

And they do.

Here’s a great example.

From Breitbart:

On Friday, an Uber driver with a concealed carry permit thwarted an attempted mass shooting by pulling his own weapon and shooting a gunman who had opened fire in Chicago’s Logan Square.

Illinois Assistant State’s Attorney Barry Quinn verified that the driver “had a concealed-carry permit and acted in the defense of himself and others.”

According to the Chicago Tribune, the driver was watching “a group of people” walk in front of his car on North Milwaukee Avenue just before midnight when 22-year-old Everardo Custodio allegedly “began firing into the crowd.” The Uber driver pulled his own gun and “fired six shots at Custodio,” wounding him in “the shin, thigh, and lower back.”

The attempted mass shooting ended with no one other Custodio injured.

The Chicago Sun Times reported that the Uber driver had dropped off a passenger minutes before Custodio allegedly began shooting. The Times contacted Uber about the incident and they simply said “the company requires all its drivers to abide by local, state and federal laws pertaining to transporting firearms in vehicles.”

This man is a hero who saved who knows how many lives, all using a simple tool of self-defense we conservatives like to call a “gun.”

So why is it the media hates stories like these?

Well, since the media has been infiltrated by big government progressives who are under the delusion the government can somehow legislate the evil, fallen, sin nature of man right out of his soul, to promote a story like this is tantamount to blasphemy.

Progressives want complete and total control to enforce their “Utopian society” on the rest of us, which is pretty hard to do if people have guns and can resist the tyranny being jammed down their throats.

Therefore, since liberal news outlets — some, not all — want to please their masters, they often bury stories like this one to keep public favor in the court of the gun grabbers.

The truth is, guns are inanimate objects that are incapable of good and evil, the same way a pencil is incapable of writing hateful words or loving, caring sentiments. It’s all about who’s in control of the pencil. Or in this case, the gun.

Banning guns or making them harder to get for law abiding citizens doesn’t make society safer, it puts people in more danger. Criminals don’t buy guns from licensed dealers.

If we want to put an end to the obnoxious gun grabbing from liberals, we need the truth to go forward, which means sharing stories like this one, where if it wasn’t for a gun owner, someone — likely many people — would’ve died.
