Senate votes down concealed weapons measure

Senator John Thune’s sponsored amendment to the defense authorization bill to allow those who had permits to carry concealed weapons across state lines as long as they abided by other states’ CCW rules and regulations was defeated in the senate 58-39, falling two short of the 60-vote threshhold needed to block a filibuster. Believe it or not, several Democrats voted for the amendment, including. Feingold, Dorgan, Bayh, Webb and Pryor. RINOs Lugar and Voinovich voted “nay.”
