The measure by Sen. John Thune (R-SD) that would allow those with concealed gun permits to carry their guns across state lines -- assuming the states they were entering also had a concealed gun permit law -- has been defeated.
In a victory for gun-control advocates, the Senate voted in favor of the bill 58-39 -- two short of the 60 votes needed.
Two Republicans, George Voinovich of Ohio and Dick Lugar of Indiana, voted against the bill.
