Black gun owners in Chicago charged with felonies despite valid FOIDs, CCLs

Stopped by police for a license plate violation. Tells them he has a gun and presents all the required permits and identification. He is still arrested, jailed and his car impounded because the Illinois state database didn't have his valid CCL and FOID status listed.

An investigation by CBS News Chicago uncovered several times where police stopped legal gun owners for minor traffic violations and then charged them with felonies despite having valid FOID cards and concealed carry licenses.

More black and brown folks should legally arm themselves. RW folks lost their shit. Same folks that claim that 2A should not be trampled on, willing to let kids die to hold on to it. But the suggestion that more black and brown folks should legally arm themselves is a bridge too far.
