Tom at 3:08 PM ET

US Representative John Hostettler (R-IN) pleaded guilty to carrying a concealed weapon on Tuesday. A loaded Glock pistol was found in the congressman's carry-on bag as he was checking in to catch a flight to Washington DC at the Louisville, KY airport on April 20, 2004. Under the terms of the plea agreement, Hostettler received a 60 day suspended sentence, his pistol was confiscated, he is not permitted to purchase a gun outside his home state of Indiana or Washington DC, and his permit to carry a gun will not apply in Kentucky for the two year suspension period.
