This young man had just been released from jail for home burgulary. He also had a record for school vandalism. He was not a good boy making a one time bad decision. Breaking the law seems to have been a way of life for him. While the clerk should have had a FOID, he probably made a good decision doing what he did. While there is no way to prove this,I am willing to bet that that boy would have used that same gun he used at the store again and again in more crimes had this not happened. It is too bad the boy did not learn his lesson in jail and stop commiting crimes. It could have saved his life.
