20th Firearm Arrest at an Illinois TopGolf

Naperville gun arrest

Since August 2023, Naperville police have arrested 20 people at the local TopGolf for firearm possession. The police spotted most of the guns through vehicle windows, and the majority of the people arrested had drugs. At least one had a stolen vehicle, and they seem to prefer Glock.

The city website lists Naperville, Illinois, as one of the safest cities in the nation.

“In 2022 and 2023, MoneyGeek named Naperville the safest city in America. In 2020, Naperville was ranked No. 1 on SafeWise’s America’s Safest Cities to Raise a Child report, which ranks safety by low property crimes, violent crimes, and the number of sex offenders.”

Illinois has some of the strictest firearm laws in the country, and a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card is required just to purchase ammunition.

Since none of these people live anywhere close, why pick this spot? Is it that great of a driving range….
