Gun play vs shots fired..

What's up with the use of the words "gun play" these days? Does being involved in gun play, carry a lighter sentence than being involved when shots are fired? Well, being involved in gun play does sound friendlier than being involved in a shooting, but somebody could end up dead or injured either way.

The choice of words was bugging me too. What happened to 'attempted homicide'?

Also

The 1800 block of Bigelow IS NOT in the West Bluff. Kthx.

It's gun play when you have a FOID card.

The other day, I saw a young person with a white t-shirt stretched up and on his head like a hoodie. He also had a white bandanna over his mouth and nose. We were going east, a police car was going west as he ran across the street. We thought he looked suspicious, evidently the police did not.

What if a FOID card?

The FOID card is required for any resident of Illinois to possess or purchase firearms

That is interesting Emerge. I hadn't kept up with the reporting, or at least how they worded it.
