Jim Webb actually said...

I have never carried a gun in the Capitol complex, and I did not give the weapon to Phillip Thompson. And that's all.

Democrat Senator Jim Webb of Virginia went on the record to explain how a trusted aide of his named Phillip Thompson ended up getting stoppe...

The gun actually belonged to Senator Webb, and that Webb had given Thompson the gun on the way to the airport.

The incident is an oversight and says the aide is a former Marine and a trusted employee of the senator.
