CHICAGO, IL (2-minute read) — A late-night armed robbery attempt turned deadly Tuesday in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood when a concealed carry license holder defended himself against an armed teen assailant.

Around 10:48 p.m., the 36-year-old concealed carrier was retrieving belongings from his vehicle in the 1400 block of North Artesian Avenue when an 18-year-old male approached him, brandishing a firearm and demanding his possessions. In response, the concealed carrier drew his legally owned firearm and shot the attacker multiple times.

First responders arrived quickly and transported the wounded suspect to Stroger Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Police have confirmed the deceased was 18 years old but have not yet released his name. No other injuries were reported in the incident.

Self-Defense and Firearm Law in Urban Settings

This case highlights the reality many concealed carriers prepare for — sudden, potentially lethal encounters where immediate action is required. In urban areas like Chicago, where crime rates remain a concern, responsible gun ownership and proper training are vital. Concealed carriers must not only understand how to use their firearm but also when it is legally and ethically justified.

While police are still investigating, early reports suggest the concealed carrier acted within the boundaries of Illinois law, which allows the use of deadly force when a person reasonably believes it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm.

Concealed carriers should always be aware of their surroundings, maintain proper storage and access to their firearm, and regularly train in defensive shooting and de-escalation techniques.

Safety Tip: Always carry your firearm in a secure, easily accessible holster and rehearse drawing it under stress. Knowing your state’s self-defense laws is just as crucial as knowing how to shoot.
