Maybe we should look for the silver lining in all this. It seems that Trotter was toting a .25ACP, and somehow that brought to mind this perennial quotable from Jeff Cooper (please forgive me as I'm working from memory):

"We have always advised against keeping a .25 for protection. Our logic, which we have found no reason to change, is this: If you keep a .25, you might be tempted to load it. If you load it, you might be tempted to shoot it. If you shoot it, you might hit someone. And if you hit someone--and he finds out about it--he's going to become very, very angry."

Perhaps just turning Trotter back out onto the street, and returning his property so that it may continue to serve its intended purpose, is a policy that will sort itself out nicely, someday, all by itself. Chicago is, after all, is nearly exactly what he has worked so hard to make it.
