Looks like soon-to-be "former" Mayor Daley has really lost it this time, comparing the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to his vision of law abiding residents carrying concealed weapons.
Apparently Daley isn't keen to the fact that 49 other states do allow their citizens the right to protect themselves. More likely, he just chooses to ignore this and spew his vile opinion in hopes that his subjects don't know the facts.
Well, Mayor Daley, your opinion is just that, yours...and it stinks. I'm sure you'll remember a little Supreme Court decision from last year (McDonald v Chicago) that verifies what most Americans already knew: The Second Amendment is an individual right.
Of course, he may not be of the same opinion if he didn't have a squad of armed guards with him when he walks out his front door each morning.
Anyway, here's one article about the situation, be sure to check out the comments at the bottom of the page.

Even more nonsense: WLS Chicago In this one, the Mayor says that concealed weapons will create more problems, just ask any police officer.
Hmm, I guess that's why the Chicago Police Lieutenants Association just published a letter in SUPPORT of HB 148. Clearly, no one from the Mayor's office sent them the memo to quietly fall in line.
(If you're keeping score, that makes 4 major law enforcement groups that support it, see previous posts)
It's a wonder Daley can go vacation at his plush home out of state with all the concealed carriers shooting up the place.
