Loaded gun in Senate office building

According to the Virginian-Pilot, "A top aide to U.S. Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., was arrested Monday on charges that he attempted to carry a loaded gun and ammunition into a Senate office building."

I want to think that this was somehow just an oversight, but a loaded gun? What was he thinking?

UPDATE: See observations by Michelle Malkin.

Why would you carry an unloaded firearm?

The question is, why was he packing at all? The last I heard, it was illegal to carry a firearm in Washington DC regardless of whether it was loaded or not.

Maybe they're thinking about bringing back duels.

Kevin, that made me laugh. ;)

Oh and Doc, I was joking.
