The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Homer Wright says he won’t hesitate to buy another gun — or use it to defend himself or his South Side tavern.The man is a true hero. Just a reminder to the gun banners in Cook County, you'll never win your argument with Homer Wright.
The 81-year-old Englewood man who shot a teen who allegedly had broken into his home said Monday he was happy that weapons charges against him were dropped, but he was annoyed that cops had seized his gun.
Wright said he will buy another one if he gets the chance.
“I’ll get arrested again, if somebody be breaking in here. I’m going to use it,” Wright said.
Prosecutors Monday dropped weapons charges against Wright, who had been charged with unlawful use of a weapon because as a felon he is not allowed to have a gun.
