This is why we need stand your ground law in Illinois. Every citizen should have their conceal or foid.
Illinois has Castle Doctrine laws. I know its not exactly the same thing, but its better than nothing.
First, the smoke shop owner yesterday. Now, this guy today? All within 2 miles of each other maybe?
Our government is busy not taking care of its citizens and instead sends our money to Israel 🇮🇱. Third world countries live better than us.
Thank you @Brandon Johnson
