COMMENTS: Pentagon Funding for Concealed Handguns
Only CBS assigned a correspondent to preview another debate on Capitol Hill. Bob Orr told us about an amendment to the Pentagon budget that the Senate will vote on. No, he was not reporting on the F-22 Raptor fighter jet, whose production was discontinued. Orr pointed to a proposal to allow gun owners to "obtain permits in states with weak regulations and then carry the weapons unchecked virtually anywhere." He showed us a full page ad in USA Today denouncing the measure signed by 450 urban mayors: "Opponents note the timing is terrible. Violent crime is plunging, with big city murders nearing 30-year lows." Meanwhile, sponsors called national concealed weapons permits "a crimefighting tool."
