Thomas Pridgeon, Chicago Man, Brings Loaded Gun to Court

Our lives are hectic. During the course of a single day, there are so many things to accomplish. Oftentimes, many of our goals slip our minds. But when a Chicago man attempted to take a loaded gun into a courtroom, was it a case of absentmindedness, or something much more sinister?

On August 23, 2010, 48-year-old Thomas Pridgeon waltzed into the Daley Center with a loaded gun tucked inside his briefcase; there was one bullet in the chamber and 7 more in a clip.

Pridgeon was in court because his home on the 7300 block of South Laflin, is in foreclosure. He says he forgot the gun was in his briefcase, and I hope he is telling the truth.

    A lot of people are losing in this economy. Losing your home is devastating. I'm just glad no one got hurt.
