POLICE: 44 Live Rounds Discovered Under Gang Member’s Hood
A man who police say is an out-of-town gang member was pulled over in Oak Lawn by an undercover Chicago gang crimes officer.
A Minooka man known to police as a gang member was charged with unlawful possession of firearm ammunition on Dec. 14, reports said.
Oak Lawn police observed an unmarked Crown Victoria attempting to stop a tan Cadillac on the 9000 block of South Austin Avenue around 11:40 p.m.
The officer met with the driver of the Crown Victoria who identified himself as a Chicago police gang crimes officer. Noticing that the Caddy had an extremely loud muffler, the Oak Lawn officer recognized the driver, Ricky Anthony Kehoe, 27, as an active Satan’s Disciple member, reports said.
The Chicago gang officer had Kehoe step out of his car. Police said that Kehoe told them he did not have any weapons or other illegal items in his car.
Kehoe gave his verbal consent to police to search underneath the hood of his car. Officers found a box of federal .38-caliber, hollow-point ammunition wrapped in a red towel near the battery compartment. Inside the box were 44 live rounds, police said.
Kehoe was taken into custody after police verified that he did not have a FOID card. In addition to the possession charge, Oak Lawn police issued Kehoe a written citation for having an extremely loud muffler. His next court date is Feb. 24.

Hollow point ammunition? WOW You dont use that for deer hunting. Any one out there know how that works on body armor? How about rival gang members or innocent bystanders?
This guy was up to no good. HE HID THE AMMO UNDER THE HOOD OF HIS CAR 1 BLOCK FROM A GRADE SCHOOL AND A PLAYGROUND.
I hope they throw the book at him.

Actualy you do use hallow points for hunting,that is what they were designed for,but that in't the isue.Without a FOID card any ammo is illegal.By the way the police carry hallow points.

Hollow points are less effective than metal jackets.They are soft and expand and don't over penetrate.That is one of the reasons police carry them.

They should put his in jail for life, but you know he'll be out in a week. He will be outing killing someone very soon and ten years from now when he's killed 100 people, he might get a year in prison. They are overcrowded. The law is not just for the innocent. Sad world we live in. O'Bama needs to address issues like this and quit taking vacations.

Thanks hochap. I had to Google it. I now remember that LEO uses them because is does not overpenatrate (read pass thru and into someone else). I also learned that the amount of tissue damage it causes on impact makes it usefull for hunting.
Would a .38 caliber be too small a round for larger game... i.e. deer? Just asking. I have fired .38's at gun ranges and shot guns in the country (with friends/family) and that's about it for experience.

38's are a hand gun amm which have a limited range so would not be best for hunting unless you were very close.
