What was that deal with the gun being sneaked into the Capitol? Has anybody found out the REAL story behind that?
Good question....I’ve never really heard any more on that.

Apparently Webb was at the airport and gave his aide a briefcase to put back in his Senate office.
The aide did as instructed, went into the Building and was stopped for bringing a pistol into the building.
Webb may have ‘claimed’ it was his but it did take him awhile and a situation that I feel HE could have squelched immediately got dragged out and I think (not sure) the guy ended up going to court.
The aide was another Former Marine and I lost the rest of the ‘respect’ I had for Webb after that incident...
Marines don’t treat other Marines like that especially when it probably would have been considered an oversight had he come forward immediately.
I think either Webb or a spokesman had said the Aide should have checked out the brief case, so it was HIS responsibility, therefor Webb not to ‘blame’.
I would think that unless directed by the Senator it would be a worse ‘sin’ opening a briefcase that wasn’t/isn’t your own.
