Self-defense Works - Even in Illinois

I'm sure it isn't easy in the People's Republic, but you can both own a weapon, and use it. Sheriff: Ill. homeowner kills armed robbers -- chicagotribune.com

Vermilion County Sheriff Pat Hartshorn says the two masked men held the homeowner on the floor at gunpoint Monday night and choked him while demanding money. The sheriff says the alleged robbers were 22 and 17 but didn't identify them or the homeowner.

Hartshorn says the men let the homeowner go when his wife said she had expensive jewelry upstairs. While the men focused on a jewelry box, the homeowner grabbed a handgun and shot them.

The 2 guys who got shot died. A third kid (another 17-year-old) who was driving a get-away truck was arrested.
