Land of the Free? Home of the Brave.
AP • Reuters • Second Time Unlucky for Burglar Dec 31, 10:32 am ET CHICAGO (Reuters) - A burglar who was wounded while breaking into a Chicago suburb home drove himself to the hospital in his intended victim's BMW, which he had likely stolen the night before, police said Tuesday. The 31-year-old burglar, who let himself into the home on Monday night with keys he had apparently stolen on Sunday night, suffered two gunshot wounds and escaped by diving through a plate glass window. Police, who arrested him at the hospital, said his wounds were not life-threatening. The homeowner who shot the burglar may also be in trouble. The 54-year-old father of two lives in Wilmette, Illinois, an upscale Chicago suburb that bans handgun ownership. For the gun, he could face a fine of up to $750.  |

I kind of like that they added it.
If a normal person is reading this it makes the law look ridicuous. Sometimes getting the sheeple scared works for us too. There were a lot of first time gun buyers in Sep of 01. |
