Only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with an Uber driver with a concealed-carry permit? Apparently so...

Uber and concealed carry for the win! At least, in Chicago:

Guy shoots randomly into crowd. Gun-toting Uber driver takes him down w/ legal weapon. Local Chicago news: FEAR THE PISTOL PACKING TAXI MAN.

From the Chicago Tribune:

Authorities say no charges will be filed against an Uber driver who shot and wounded a gunman who opened fire on a crowd of people in Logan Square over the weekend.

The driver had a concealed-carry permit and acted in the defense of himself and others, Assistant State’s Attorney Barry Quinn said in court Sunday.

A group of people had been walking in front of the driver around 11:50 p.m. in the 2900 block of North Milwaukee Avenue when Everardo Custodio, 22, began firing into the crowd, Quinn said.

How much do you tip your Uber driver if he stops a mass shooting we wonder?

Well that is a five star ride RT @K_Schallhorn: Uber driver, licensed to carry gun, shoots gunman in Chicago http://t.co/10BRXe4G3k

Uber driver with gun apparently stops would-be mass shooter; have civilians stopped such mass shootings before? http://t.co/bHLbJtApSd
