A gun he won't have legally, mind you, but that'll be little consolation to those who will miss me, won't it? <BR/><BR/>The reality is that bad people in this country have guns and it is good people with guns who sometimes are forced to stop them.

He gave the gun to an aide at the airport. As far as I can tell, there aren't any airports in the district. According to a quote in the Post: “Another source said that Webb's gun was in a briefcase that was supposed to be dropped off at a location in Virginia before Thompson came into the District.” It may very well be that Webb carries the gun while in VA, and leaves it at home or the office when he goes into the city. There’s no evidence he has ever done anything contrary. <BR/><BR/>The Post story suggests (but doesn't really explain) that members of Congress are allowed to bring secured, unloaded guns to the Captiol,<BR/><BR/>This may very well just be a case of an aide pulling a boner.

Being from South Dakota, I think it's pretty ridiculous that in D.C. only the criminals can have guns. And, as a public official, the Senator is much more at risk to individual assault than the public at large. The staffer carrying the gun into the Capitol was an oversight, and will undoubtedly win the Senator accolades in Virginia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-1175004692504093392007-03-27T11:11:00.000-04:002007-03-27T11:11:00.000-04:00That is the funniest disturbing story I've heard i...That is the funniest disturbing story I've heard in a while.

Of course, the broader question of what in the hell the Senator was doing driving around with a loaded handgun in the first place remains unanswered.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217643082114596389noreply@blogger.com
