Hat-tip to Raising Kaine
An aid to Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) was arrested for bringing a gun into the Russell Senate Office.
Per MSNBC
A Senate aide was arrested Monday on charges of bringing a firearm into the Russell Senate building, U.S. Capitol police told NBC News.
Kimberly Schneider, a spokeswoman for the police, said the aide worked for Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va.
Wonkette says it might have been the Senator's own gun.
Still developing, will be posting updates as they come.
[update]Some info with TeacherKen (has contacts into the Webb and other Senate offices)
from what I now know, I suspect it was Jim's gun being carried for him - he has a carry permit. And it would be legal for him to have the gun, even in Russell, but not legal for the aide to carry it for him. If that is what happened, my guess is that charges will be dropped.
[UPDATE #2]MSNBC now says, gun was loaded, it was unregistered and that the staffer (who did not have a carry permit) was also carrying two full magazines....this is not getting any better.
