(An 80-year-old man can be prosecuted for using a handgun for self-defense,
but a repeat offender serves maybe a year of a 3-year sentence. In Daley's
world, this is justice.)

The Supreme Court is currently hearing McDonald v. Chicago, which could
repeal Chicago's longstanding handgun ban. But justice may come too late for
an elderly Korean War vet who was simply defending his 83-year-old wife and
12-year-old grandson.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that this man had been robbed at home "a
couple of months ago" by "three intruders." Afterwards, he "bought a gun and
vowed never to be a victim again."
Around 5:00 this morning, 30-something Anthony Nelson broke into the home by
breaking out a back window that leads to the elderly couple's unit. There
was a confrontation between the home invader and the homeowner, and the
invader shot at the elderly man with his revolver. The homeowner shot back
with his handgun, killing the attacker.

In the mean time.

At least 22 people were wounded in separate shootings around the city
roughly between noon Saturday and noon Sunday, including a man who died this
morning after he was shot in the head, Chicago police said.

One of the shootings was particularly disturbing because one of the female
victims was eight months pregnant. No one in custody for any of the
incidents.
