Illinois Man Survives Road Rage Incident Thanks To His Firearm

Gun-ban groups like Everytown for Gun Safety and cynical politicians like President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris want Americans to believe that there are no positive uses for firearms. They even claim that guns are very seldom used in self-defense situations, despite reams of evidence to the contrary.

Those anti-gun zealots will have a hard time convincing one Illinois man to give up his guns after a road-rage incident on July 30 in Schiller Park, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago.

According to a report at cbsnews.com, at about 5:30 p.m. a driver began harassing the man, who was also driving, in an apparent road-rage incident, following him until he had to stop at a traffic signal. When the vehicles stopped at the stoplight, the aggressor jumped out of his vehicle and ran toward the other vehicle, while drawing a handgun and firing shots.

Seeing the threat, the other man pulled out his handgun and shot the aggressor. Miraculously the second man wasn’t hit in the exchange of shots, nor were his passengers.

Malachi N. Johnson, 19, of Streamwood, Illinois, was transported to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced deceased a short time later. After reviewing all evidence, it was decided that the man who defended himself acted in self-defense.

“After reviewing all evidence, along with interviews of involved individuals and witnesses, it was decided, along with the State’s Attorney’s Office, that no charges would be brought against the second individual involved as it was determined that he acted in self-defense and possessed a valid FOID and CCL,” said a statement from the Schiller Park Police Department.

While we can chalk another one up for the good guys, one aspect of the shooting that you’ll never hear in the mainstream media is the death of the attacker will be counted as another “child killed with a gun.” Since he was 19, he’ll almost certainly be counted among the child gun death statistics that liberal groups use to lie that more kids are killed by guns than by any other way.
