"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."

bro ran out of beer and cigarette money so he had to post
-
The fact that he was using a revolver, probably one of the easiest guns to check if it’s loaded or not, makes this infinitely more funny
-
his defense had one hole.......

Back from the liquor store.

Some people say that justice is blind. Sometimes the lawyers are too. Not this one though, he's just dead.
-
Rule #1 in gun safety is “There’s NO SUCH THING AS AN UNLOADED GUN!!”
-
Can confirm; it behooves you to have more than a strong hunch that your gun's not loaded before handling it in such a way.

Vallandigham did not win Ohio's election for Governor in a landslide in absentia. He won the democratic party's nomination in a landslide in absentia. He was soundly beaten by National Union candidate John Brough, 288,000 votes to 188,000.

This man was Saul before Better Call Saul was even thought of.

>single action black powder revolver >swing out cylinder
-
bro remembered his password
-
Dude was on to something with gunpowder analysis. Respect for his effort.
-
People forget that Ohio was like the biggest southern sympathizer state and voted against emancipation
-
American here. you are correct in your assumptions on gun safety. you should always treat a gun as if its loaded, and double check to ensure it's not. have a third party also verify if possible.
-
"I mean, he DID kill all those vampires" got a belly laugh out of me. Well done.
-
If only all lawyers had such commitment
-
"I'm not an American", replacing gun in man's hand with potato, was a great dig.

A lawyer that won the Baldwin award during court
