[QUOTE="Old Fart, post: 2472189, member: 4899"] [B]NW Side man is first concealed carry permit holder arrested in Chicago[/B] A 54-year-old Northwest Side man who allegedly pulled a gun during a property dispute is the first concealed carry permit holder arrested in Chicago, police officials say. William P. OConnell, of the 7200 block of North Oleander Avenue, lost his permit as a result of the arrest, said a spokeswoman for the Illinois State Police. In January, a new state law kicked in allowing people to carry concealed weapons as long as they have a permit. OConnell was involved in a quarrel over rent money with a 52-year-old man on March 23, police said. OConnell allegedly pointed a handgun at the man and threatened to shoot him. Police said the victim and a woman both identified OConnell, who admitted hiding his gun. OConnell took officers to a vacant apartment where they recovered a .38-caliber revolver, police said. OConnell was carrying a valid state firearm owners identification card and a concealed carry license when he was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, police said. Hes scheduled to appear in court on May 8. The state police have revoked OConnells permit based on a provision of the concealed carry law that says permit holders cant be the subject of a proceeding for an offense or action that could lead to disqualification to own or possess a firearm, said Monique Bond, a spokeswoman for the agency. Under state law, a conviction for aggravated assault with a gun would disqualify OConnell from owning a firearm. OConnell declined to comment.
