I read this article in todays Trib it`s a lot of propaganda.  There is a question whether a lot of these shootings are justified.   I can`t give a link to the story the Trib wont let me access the story online.

Explore: Shootings by CCL holders including homeowners, security guards, store clerks

More than  265,000 Illinois residents have a concealed carry license, about 2 percent of the state's adult population. But the state does not keep records on when these license holders fire their weapons, how often they do it, or if they wound or kill someone.

The Tribune combed through police files, court records and news reports to compile its own list. We found 38 shootings and one threatening incident

» READ MORE: Almost nothing is known about dozens of concealed carry shootings in Illinois. Why?

Great news...but we need more.

And we need them and the other 1,700,000 FOID holders to get active with their legislators.

Just that blurb is false... there are certainly records of any shooting incident that has been reported to the police, maybe if someone at the Trib wants more information they have to get off their rear end and do some footwork instead of just complaining they can't Google it.

I just heard that a CCW holder had a negligent discharge at a party over Fathers Day weekend, and killed a 23 year old.  He was hit in the head and instantly killed.  The CCW holder was female, and was drinking.  I was told this is a mandatory 10 year minimum sentence.  The funeral was Tuesday the 19th.  I don't know the deceased males name.  I don't know exactly what day it happened.  I have not seen anything on the media on this shooting.  I'd like to read more if anyone can find info.

...The group continued to hang out in the basement of the home and drank alcohol, prosecutors said. During that time, Busatlic took out a semi-automatic handgun and showed it to several people.

...About 9 a.m., one of the members of the group left the basement to go to sleep and saw Busatlic and Ibrem sitting on the floor and talking, prosecutors said. About 30 minutes later, the same person was awakened by the sound of a gunshot and saw Busatlic run out of the basement with the gun and blood on her hand. She ran off with the gun and left the home

...A spokesperson for Chicago Police previously said Ibrem was fatally wounded when someone pulled out a gun during an argument and shot him.
