The concealed carrier drew his firearm and shot the attacker multiple times in the chest and head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police recovered the stolen property inside the Corolla, along with the weapon the suspect had used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-colion-noir-karma-s-been-spending-a-lot-of-time-in-chicago\">Colion Noir: Karma\u2019s Been Spending a Lot of Time in Chicago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a viral breakdown of the incident, <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/noir-fires-back-at-lawsuit-blaming-glock-for-concealability\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"chicago-concealed-carrier-ends-teen-carjackers-crime-spree\" title=\"Chicago Concealed Carrier Ends Teen Carjacker's Crime Spree\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"421\">Colion Noir didn\u2019t hold back<\/a>. \u201cThis dude steals a car, robs two women, and then tries to rob a third person\u2014only to get lit up like a Christmas tree,\u201d Noir said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got to be either bold or dumb as hell to try a three-person robbery spree in a city where concealed carry is legal and think you\u2019re just gonna walk away clean,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/the-girsan-mc14t-vs-the-beretta-80x\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"chicago-concealed-carrier-ends-teen-carjackers-crime-spree\" title=\"Chicago Concealed Carrier Ends Teen Carjacker's Crime Spree\">The Girsan MC14T vs the Beretta 80X<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noir highlighted that this wasn\u2019t some teenager playing around. \u201cHe was 18. A legal adult who apparently decided the streets were a better option than Call of Duty,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident took place just 18 minutes after the carjacking. Noir noted the suspect\u2019s spree lasted under 20 minutes before he was gunned down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-power-of-concealed-carry\">The Power of Concealed Carry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is exactly why <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/concealed-carry-rises-crime-falls-key-study-insights\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"chicago-concealed-carrier-ends-teen-carjackers-crime-spree\" title=\"Chicago Concealed Carrier Ends Teen Carjacker's Crime Spree\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"422\">concealed carry<\/a> works,\u201d Noir argued. \u201cThe element of surprise is the concealed carrier\u2019s superpower. Criminals walk around thinking they\u2019ve got the drop on everybody\u2014but they never know who they\u2019re running up on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He called the armed citizen a \u201cwolf dressed like a sheep,\u201d and said every criminal should second guess their next move out of fear they\u2019ll pick the wrong target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-narrative-gets-twisted-again\">The Narrative Gets Twisted\u2014Again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the suspect\u2019s actions, his family quickly began trying to reframe the story. \u201cHe was a good kid,\u201d his grandmother told local reporters. Noir responded, \u201cGood kids don\u2019t steal Toyotas and rob women at gunpoint.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even a local gang figure chimed in, calling the spree \u201cjust some bad habits.\u201d Noir wasn\u2019t having it: \u201cThat\u2019s not forgetting to do your homework. That\u2019s armed robbery three times in under 20 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bottom-line\"><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An armed citizen in Chicago stopped a violent robbery spree with decisive force. And while critics may try to rewrite the story, the facts are simple: concealed carry saves lives\u2014especially when criminals push their luck too far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"chicago-concealed-carrier-ends-teen-carjackers-crime-spree\" title=\"Chicago Concealed Carrier Ends Teen Carjacker's Crime Spree\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Noir highlighted that this wasn\u2019t some teenager playing around. \u201cHe was 18.
