10-Time Felon Learns Sentence After Being Busted With Revolver on 'Gun-Free' Chicago Train

Summary

A 10-time felon, Gerald Pittman, received a lenient sentence in federal court in Chicago after being caught with a revolver on a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) Blue Line train last July. Despite his extensive criminal history, the plea deal resulted in a sentence less than one-third of the maximum penalty, raising questions about the effectiveness of 'gun-free' zones.
