If it had been Tx, he wouldn't have to worry about the law coming after him for defending his family:

80-year-old vet defends home
May 27th, 2010

Again, more than few people who were worried that I wasn’t writing enough posts sent me this link to the story of an 80-year-old veteran who caught some derelict breaking into his home a laid the scumbag low. I’m sure the old guy isn’t as proud of the event as he is worried about the outcome;

No charges have been filed against the homeowner, but Chicago currently has a statute outlawing the possession of handguns. Its legality is currently being decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

A high-profile Chicago attorney has already stepped forward offering to represent the man pro bono if he faces charges for possessing a weapon.


“Self-defense isn’t just a right, it’s a duty,” said attorney Joel Brodsky. “If this man is prosecuted for saving his own life it’s not just a travesty, it’s justice turned inside out.”

So how long did take the veteran to decide which was more important – his family or his freedom? I’m sure the lawbreaker got a few more seconds of life while the homeowner weighed the decision.
