Winds of change for citizens

Last friday, around midnight in chicago around a square, there was something that took place, which will become a milestone in the State of Illinois. A 22 year old person of a certain a filiation was looking to cause injury to a group of another a filiation, without any care or concern for the inicent people between. However, a person whom was concerned, mature and responsible made a decision to not allow inicent people to become injured. A citizen whom has took the time to get trained and educated in conceal carry, acted! The Armed Citizen, using his situational awareness, seen the situation playing out and made a decision based on the information he gathered. The person engaged the threat and the application of fundamentals of marksmanship payed off. The 22 year old was wounded and charged with aggravated assault of unlawful weapon. The Armed Citizen as found to be well within his right, and no charges was filed against him. Okay, another shooting in Chiraq, what is the big deal. The big deal is it will be the first time a law abiding conceal carry citizen engaged a threat in the state of Illinois. This in itself is not "ground-breaking", the way of which the investigation and out look from authorities is! In years past, if this would of happen, they both would of been charged and to be sorted out through the justice system. To this author knowledge this will be the first time, in public, a citizen acted to defend others using his conceal carry training to save lives in the windy city, without any legal charges being brought agaist him/her. Could this be the "wind's of change" taking effect? Could it be that concerned, Armed citizens, finally be viewed as not a threat but an assest? I have stated, that with the passing of the Firearm Conceal Carry License will come change in the State of Illinois. The reason why, just like the 2nd amendment of the Constitution, this gives the responsible citizen the power back into there lives and faith back into the legislation. With the passing of the law, it mandated that citizens must complete 16 hours of training or be exempt for first eight hours. This in turn cause's a social change. Citizen's then begin to view other things differently, which effects certain views on other subjects. With the change comes more educated people along the lines we are discussing. There amount of firearm accidents from trained people will plumet, and will not these citizens be the ones among the pool for jury selection in trial in and/or around the use of firearms. Thus, effecting the legal system in a positive and good way, in turn will make the state more aware of the needs and wants of the people. The change for the better is happening not just in this state but the whole country. The people of this great nation are now in essence putting the criminal and coward predators on notice! Enough is enough, no longer will hard working men and women toil hard to allow there lives to be put in jeopardy or that of there families. No matter your background, religion, race, creed these people share one thing in common. They are resposible and armed.
