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 through a back door. The homeowner, who had a gun, confronted and killed the burglar on the doorstep, police said. Cops said the intruder also fired his gun during the struggle.
“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.

I love the West and the support for open carry.
You should put this in the category: Things that will never be shown in the media.

Good for Gramps!
Good for the 2nd Amendment.
Bad for burglars.
(sorry, Paul)
Gotta love it.
I wonder if Helmke would be so anti second amendment if the Brady bunch didn't pay so well. Given the recent rulings by the Supremes he reminds me of a really old Bloom County Sunday strip where "Steve Dallas", the local lawyer, was a gun slinger in the old west. Calls out his opponent and is promptly gunned down by said opponent. In the next panel the rest of the Bloom County characters looking at each other and one pipes up…counter suit.
