'I don't know where my mind was, but my mind was just on like grabbing that gun,' said James Suh.

-- A business owner in the Portage Park neighborhood fought off a would-be robber, knocking the gun directly out of the robber's hands and chasing him out of his store.On Thursday, CBS 2's Marissa Perlman spoke with the store owner about why he decided he needed to take matters into his own hands.

"All of a sudden, somebody's like, 'Give me all your money!'" Suh said."I look up, and this guy's just right here in front of my face." Suh, who is a concealed carry permit holder, knew the suspect's slide was locked – and thus, the suspect wouldn't be able to open fire with his gun.Suh eventually ran around the counter and grabbed the man. The two men are seen on video tussling before Suh is able to pull the gun out of the man's hands."I just went for it right there," Suh said.
