Feinstein in 1995 on her concealed carry permit: 'I know the urge to arm yourself because that's what I did'

On April 27, 1995, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) spoke at the US Senate hearing on terrorism shortly after the Oklahoma City bombing.

During the hearing, she referenced her concealed carry permit and how she carried a gun with her in the 1970's, citing the urge to arm yourself for protection- in her case from threats.

She stated:

"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. I walked to the hospital when my husband was sick. I carried a concealed weapon and I made the determination if somebody was going to try and take me out, I was going to take them with me."

This CCW permit was obtained in San Francisco, CA which would make it one of the only permits- if not the only such permit- at the time in the early 1970's.

Now, after recent shooting tragedies, Feinstein is making another push for tighter gun control. She is widely known as one of the biggest anti-gun and anti-NRA advocates in Washington.
