CHICAGO — A suburban man arrested for carrying a gun in Old Town told police he decided to bring his wife’s firearm with him on a trip to the city because “Chicago is crazy,” according to the cops who arrested him.

He told police that a stranger walked up to him and his companions, asked what they were doing in the area, and then began punching him in the face, the cops’ report said.
