In regards to the arrest of his top aide on weapons charges, Virginia Senator Jim Webb called the incident unfortunate. Phillip Thompson will be charged for one felony and two misdemeanors for the incident that took place just outside the Senate office building. Webb went on further to state that it is a shame what happened to Thompson, but that he had no idea how he managed to procure the firearm.
Senator Webb who has a concealed gun permit in Virginia, about to board a plane for New Orleans, left the weapon with aides. The Virginia Senator also mentioned that there was some confusion before the trip regarding transportation and that may've led to Thompson coming into possession of the weapon. The Senator when asked why he carried the weapon responded, "to be able to defend myself and my family."
