A lawyer is agreeing to represent Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto against civil lawsuits over gun laws if necessary. Mayor Peduto confirmed Tuesday that his legal defense would be taken care of in the event that private criminal charges are filed against him. The city faces at least three lawsuits after passing three laws, one of which bans assault-style rifles. The Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office said it won’t do anything with private criminal complaints filed by citizens until the new laws take effect and are enforced against someone.
