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 stopped by police with the senator's loaded pistol at a checkpoint..."

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

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