1. This Doc made a really big mistake...
"A Lincoln Park doctor with a cache of guns in his apartment claimed that “a nervous tic” caused him to fire into a neighbor’s unit on Wednesday, according to a police report.
Michael Olivieri, 53, told officers he had placed a revolver on an island in his kitchen and thought he had replaced its live rounds with dummy rounds, the arrest report said. But “everything happened so fast,” he told police, and soon he “squeezed the trigger as a nervous tic like squeezing a tennis ball.”
2. Are the CPD and Prosecutors oblivious of the change the Chicago Gun Registration laws? The Cook County Gun Registry laws went bye-bye due to the preemption clause when we got CCW last September.
"When police showed up to investigate, they confiscated eight guns – including handguns and at least one rifle. Prosecutors said the guns were not registered. When police returned to his apartment Friday, he told them he had a ninth gun that he had forgotten to tell them about two days earlier. That weapon was in his car in the building’s parking garage.
Officers arrested Olivieri on Friday at his high-rise apartment in the 2000 block of North Lincoln Park West, near the Lincoln Park Zoo’s antelope and zebra enclosure. He faces a felony charge of reckless discharge of a firearm and was also cited with having unregistered guns.
Olivieri, a family physician, has an active state medical license, online records show. His arrest report said he is currently on leave from his practice.
In bond court Saturday, Judge Laura Marie Sullivan ordered the doctor held on $10,000 bail."
3. This whole thing really stinks. I hope our main Man Todd is prepping the law dogs for a serious suit if this gets legs.
