Mayor Richard Daley says he’s optimistic Chicago will prevail against what he calls the gun industry’s challenge to the city’s handgun laws. He spoke at a news conference Monday, a day before the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments on the constitutionality of Chicago’s handgun ban. Daley says cities and states should be able to decide how best to protect their citizens. He fears the case before the Supreme Court could cause needless legal challenges to other laws nationwide. Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis attended the same news conference. He says his biggest concern if Chicago laws are struck down is the threat his officers could face every time they respond to a domestic disturbance. Copyright 2010 The Associated Press.
