Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) no longer has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
Feinstein, who has taken the lead on efforts to renew a federal assault weapons ban, acknowledged during a hearing in 1995 of previously having a concealed weapon permit.
At the time, she said she needed it for security, but she has since dropped the permit.
"The senator does not have a concealed weapon permit," Feinstein spokesman Tom Mentzer said in an email to The Hill on Thursday.
In 1995 a hearing on terrorism after the Oklahoma City bombing, Feinstein recounted how, in the 1970s, she was the target of the New World Liberation Front which first attempted to blow up her home. After the bomb failed to detonate, Feinstein explained, she decided to arm herself.
"Later the same group shot out all the windows of my home and I know the sense of helplessness that people feel. I know the urge to arm yourself, because that’s what I did. I was trained in firearms," Feinstein said in the 1995 hearing.
"When I walked to the hospital when my husband was sick, I carried a concealed weapon," she said. "I made the determination that if somebody was going to try to take me out I was going to take them with me. Now having said all of that, that was a period of time ago and I’ve watched through these 20 years as terrorism has increased both on the far extremist left and the far extremist right in this country."
Feinstein got rid of the permit once the New World Liberation Front was no longer a threat to her.
Feinstein has pledged to introduce legislation reinstating the federal assault weapons band in the wake of the murders last week of 20 school children and six of their guardians at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
She is one of a number of legislators, including a few senators with "A" ratings from the National Rifle Association (NRA), who have called for action on guns in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting. Feinstein has an "F" rating from the NRA.
A previous federal ban on weapons lapsed after ten years in 2004. Feinstein was a leading sponsor of the first ban.
Feinstein's new bill would ban “the sale, the transfer, the importation and the possession" of certain types of guns as well as prohibit bullet clips, drums, and strips that carry more than 10 bullets.
"I don't see how Americans can want a situation where a 20-year-old gets a gun from his mother, kills his mother," Feinstein said Monday referring to the Sandy Hook shooter, Adam Lanza.
Are the Capitol police armed to protect the Capitol building and its occupants?
If so, take them all away!!!!
“”Does she still have the gun???””
A bit of a controversy about that. Some say she turned in one gun - a cheapie - and kept a different (better) one!!!
permit shmermit.
does she still have A GUN?
Why do I say such a strange thing? Because they kill us one or two at a time, whereas our leftist extremist self-styled "representatives" have killed our constitutional republic and replaced it with a "progressive" oligarchy in all but name. All that remains for them to do is finish subverting the citizenry and reducing them to state serfdom. They're working on it.
Oh, BS! She’d have a pistol on each fat hip if it weren’t for her retinue of armed bodyguards.

Would she prefer he used a tire iron to smash her brains out?
Her offices are guarded by armed guards.
Her home is protected by armed security.
Her drivers are armed
Her body guards are armed.
When she travels she has a fully armed security detail.
The rest of you can eat cheet...They don't care about your safety or security...So everyone keep paying your taxes so Feinstein can be safe.
You asked my question!
Senator Dianne Feinstein is in favor of what was done to 90-year-old John Queen. So are all other pro-gun-control members of Congress and of the various state assemblies.

Her looks are her best defense. One look and any armed assailant is afflicted with permanent vision damage rendering any attempt to aim at and shoot the woman nearly impossible.
Same goes for Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton and Madeline Albright. I’m sure others are eligible for the honor as well. Any posting of pictures and severe punishment will be meted out.
You don’t need a CCW when you have armed security. Let us carry or give us armed security!
Their hypocrisy is sooo predictable.
I Fienstien did not say this herself I would not believe it. Spokesmen will outright lie for their leaders...
No she doesn't. She does not really care. It's about votes to her. She panders to voters that believe that gun control will provide the answer to mass-murder shootings. She is a fool and thinks we are too.
