This lawyer took a bullet for his client, literally!
"Clement Laird Vallandigham (/vəˈlændɪɡəm/ və-LAN-dig-əm; July 29, 1820 - June 17, 1871) was an American lawyer and politician who served as the leader of the Copperhead faction of anti-war Democrats during the American Civil War.
He served two terms for Ohio's 3rd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. In 1863, he was convicted by an Army court martial for publicly expressing opposition to the war and exiled to the Confederate States of America. He ran for governor of Ohio in 1863 from exile in Canada, but was defeated.
Vallandigham died in 1871 in Lebanon, Ohio, after accidentally shooting himself in the abdomen with a pistol, while representing a defendant in a murder case for killing a man in a barroom brawl in Hamilton."

@lilarrin1220 Ай бұрын

Not just gun safety but a lot of safety rules in general when working with dangerous equipment. I work with high voltage equipment and lasers, and whenever I have to open up the high voltage stuff for diagnostic/repairs, I need to treat it as if it is fully powered up and minimize direct contact in case all the other safety controls have failed. For lasers, I behave as though I have no safety equipment or barriers and minimize putting any part of my body near the beamline. Safety measures are never perfect, and their failure can have very heavy consequences, so you operate as though they can fail anytime.

@PerkulatorBenny Ай бұрын

@@etaleo2748 Not American, but I have been to the range a few times. Our rule was that the only time you can treat a gun as if it's not loaded, whether confirmed empty or not, is if it is in a position where it is physically impossible for it to fire, e.g. a break-action gun that is currently open or a revolver with the drum out. (And even then you always try to handle it with care/not go in front of it. Just in case.)

Either way, he made the decision to act extremely irresponsibly for a super minor convenience.

I have a good bit of experience with both original civil war era firearms and newly made reproductions of them and I can confirm it takes a almost painful degree of absent minded stupidity to miss-identify a loaded/non loaded firearm from that era, especially since what makes them go bang is external and in pretty much plain view at all times just about.

@themightydropbear Ай бұрын

He may have had primers on both revolvers. The practice of law can be as much about theater as it is about legal procedure so it's likely that he put primers on his "unloaded" weapon so that it would go "bang" for his demonstration and underscore his point to the jury. Total failure safety-wise regardless. This event is a pretty good analogue to the chain of events that led to Baldwin shooting that staffer on "Rust".

Wasn't there a guy who carved a potato into the shape of a gun to get out of prison? I'm trying to remember if that was an old Qxir story.

You should be happy with the "belief" of a firearm not being loaded, because the #1 rule in firearms safety is the gun is always loaded, even when you unload it.

To be fair to Vallandigham, Lincoln absolutely was a despot at the time, he benefitted from a huge cult of personality as time went on after the assassination. Lincoln banned negative press about himself, mandated prayer services have prayers for him and jailed serval ministers who didn’t comply (despite Lincoln himself being an ardent agnostic), started the policy of outsourcing Law Enforcement to private firms which got so bad we wound up with the Anti-Pinkerton act, and fully intended to sent America’s freed slave population to Liberia in a repatriation effort that would probably constitute a genocide by today’s standards. It’s a complicated issue. (Fuck slavery though.)

@professorhaystacks6606 20 күн бұрын

On the Liberia thing, while Lincoln did favor the repatriation plan initially, after the Haiti resettlement experiment of 1882-84 backfired horrendously he seems to have abandoned the idea. Perhaps more for practical reasons than moral ones but the point remains: after that he didn't seem to pursue the idea any further. Most of the rest I've heard of, but I have never heard of the jailing of ministers. Got a link on that?
