It's a great question. I read somewhere the gun was legally owned by the mother, but that still doesn't definitively answer how it came to be in the possession of a 14 year old. We know the son was initially waiting in the car and the mother was texting him during the initial verbal altercation. The mother also had a CCL. Those facts plus the decision not to prosecute lead me to believe the gun was in a "secure enclosure" inside the vehicle.
But, even then, did the mom tell him to bring her the gun? I can't imagine putting my kid in the middle of any altercation that I thought required me to have a firearm.

Honduras goes full Bukele on gangs
On Monday, authorities in Honduras responded to a gang-related fire that killed 46 inmates at a women's prison by putting the military police in charge of all jails, emptying cell blocks, and forcing cons to sit in rows nestled against each other, with their hands tied, heads bowed, and male inmates shirtless. Sound familiar?
Yep, that's exactly how the prison system is run in neighboring El Salvador since strongman President Nayib Bukele imposed a draconian state of emergency to fight gangs. And his people love him for it.
Bukele is the world's most popular democratically elected leader, with an approval rating consistently hovering around 90%. Perhaps the main reason is his mano dura or "tough hand" approach toward gang violence, which has made crime rates nosedive at the expense of the rule of law and human rights.
Understandably, Bukele's sky-high popularity makes it tempting for leaders of other Central and South American nations — many of which face the same problem with gangs — to follow his lead. But it's no magic solution: In Ecuador, outgoing President Guillermo Lasso is losing his war on gangs despite imposing an emergency rule similar to El Salvador’s under Bukele.
What's more, such authoritarian vibes seem off-brand for Honduran President Xiomara Castro, an unabashed left-winger who won the top job in 2021 on a promise of restoring faith in democracy. Desperate times …

*** IN THE SHOWER
In a recent survey carried out for the leading toiletries firm 'Brut', people from Chicago have proved to be the most likely to have had *** in the shower!
In the survey, 86% of Chicago's residents (almost all of whom are registered Democrats) say that they have enjoyed *** in the shower.
The other 14% said they hadn’t been to prison yet.
Sort of brings a tear to your eye

This is what crime does to housing prices
Invesco sold North Water Apartments, a 398-unit property at 340 E. North Water St., to Miami-based Crescent Heights for $173 million, according to real estate data provider CoStar Group. While that’s the most paid for a downtown apartment building since December 2021, the price represents a 28% drop in value for the Streeterville property since 2016, when Invesco bought it for $240 million.

Right — but crime is not mentioned anywhere in the article. Other actual factors ARE brought up. You are creating a narrative, which is fine, but it should be acknowledged as such.

Understood, a possible explanation is the perception/reality that Chicago's government is soft on crime.
