The man was still able to run away, but police apprehended him farther down the street. He died at the hospital later that day.<\/p>\n<p>Police say Goings had a violent history.

Writer, Comedian Rallies Behind Concealed-Carry After Gunpoint Robbery<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Gottlieb noted that while gun-control advocates studiously record incidents that promote their agenda, they are strangely silent on events like this one in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot surprisingly,\u201d Gottlieb said, \u201cthe gun control crowd invariably loses its voice when a bad guy is shot while committing a crime. Groups such as Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action scream loudly when they push restrictive gun laws to disarm honest citizens, but when an intended victim is able to win in a deadly confrontation, they quickly stick their heads in the sand and pretend nothing happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir silence,\u201d he continued, &#8220;is not only deafening, it is deadly. Anyone who thinks a young woman should not be able to defend herself with a legally-carried handgun needs to readjust their moral compass.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">***<a
