Older revolvers could not pivot their cylinders out like modern ones can and like Qxir showed (6:20). Still pretty easy to check and this guy is still negligent
Due to the time period, it was probably a cap and ball revover that did not take cartridges. It is likely that he wanted the revolver loaded witb a cap (easy to check) but not with powder and ball (more difficult to check).
The case was in 1874, you could buy a Schofield, Colt, Iver Johnson, Smith and Wesson etc in center fire. Schofields are break tops, same as the Iver and Smith, the Colts had a loading gate on the right side, you have to half cock it then open it to inspect, load or eject casings
@@buckberthod5007 accept he used a colt Patterson, cap and ball. Again not saying he's not negligent just that it's not the easiest gun to check if it's loaded

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.
I thought that was suspicious given how much of a Republican stronghold Ohio was for generations. 7 Republican presidents were either born in Ohio and/or considered it their home state.
There was also a widespread rumor that "hooker", a term for prostitute, came from the name of Union General Joseph Hooker, but that one may not hold water.
6:11 the four rules of firearm safety: always treat a gun as if it is loaded, never point it as something you aren’t willing to destroy, know your target and what’s behind it, and keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to shoot. This is why you should politely decline any invitation from Alec Baldwin to “1v1 me on Rust”
A bonus fifth one taught to us in the FDF is "know the state of your gun". Is it _actually_ loaded? Is the safety on? If not and it's select-fire, is it on semi or full auto? Is it clean? Is there a bullet in the chamber? And so on.
@@Dichete It's not about the physical reality of whether or not there's ammo, it's about drilling it into your head that a gun should always be treated as if it's fully loaded and off safety.
Just like this guy, Burnside / Sideburns thing I didn't know either. Finally broke down & got me a doodles all over Tshirt... hopefully their's a small portion that actually gets back to you.
I would have referred to his particular style as mutton chops, but I could easily be wrong on that since I prefer clean shaven men and don't pay much attention to beard styles.
6:10 okay so as someone who does own a gun and have shot multiple guns before I can safely say that not only are you correct about the fact that you’re not supposed to just be satisfied with the mer belief that a gun is empty but you’re also actually always supposed to treat a gun as if it was loaded even when you’re 100% certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is unloaded. You’re also supposed to keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to fire and never ever point a firearm at a living creature (human or animal) unless you plan to kill it, less you end up like this lawyer. Also always know what’s behind your target.
Yep that's rule #1. And one of the main questions on the firearm safety test that we have to take in CA before being allowed to even begin a purchase. And you might still get denied during the process. Unless you're Alec Baldwin, and then none of those rules or laws apply.
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've heard some practice gun safety by treating the gun as if it's always loaded, even if they have confirmed no ammo is actually there. False negatives can kill in this case, so it helps to be cautious like that.
@@etaleo2748 you are 100% correct. I was watching a Brandon Harrara video almost right after this one, and after the outro it shows some cut footage. One of the clips shows Brandon rack the bolt on what he thought was an empty rifle, and popped out a live round. Fortunately he abides by the rules of gun safety you and I have listed.
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.
@@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.)
The idea of a guy who isn't a bailiff even holding a loaded revolver in a courtroom is wildly inappropriate to me, I feel like Americans don't treat firearms with the proper respect a lot of the time, familiarity breeds contempt I guess
@@bluegum6438at this point in history we didn’t have nearly as brutal organized crime nor did minorities have enough population to be concerned about arms control
Before you criticize Americans 170 years in the past first take a look at your society in the same timeframe. Next up what's up with those dinosaurs always eating each other.
I love the arrest sketch, especially one guy being depicting holding an axe. So if he resisted arrest he’d be decapitated on the spot. “I’ll axe you to come along quietly now, boyo” because you knew he was Irish AF, possibly a distant ancestor of QXIR
@@Eboreg2 We’re not talking about having to load and unload it dozens of times. If he only loaded one round at a time, he probably would have only had to do it 3-4 times, depending on how many fabric samples he was generating. Alternately, he could have loaded and unloaded it once if the total number of samples was fewer than the total number of rounds the gun held. Either way, he made the decision to act extremely irresponsibly for a super minor convenience.
it could've been a cap and ball revolver. They didn't use metallic cartridges that could be ejected - instead, the powder and bullet were loaded directly into the chamber and ignited by a percussion cap. Then again, the cap is still removable afaik
@@8bitarmory846 In that case, they only hold one round at a time right? Or do they still have revolving barrels that are just loaded through the main barrel?
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.
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".

2:50 He did this illegally, by the way. Only Congress can suspend the writ of _habeus corpus,_ but Lincoln did it unilaterally while Congress was not in session. When the new Congress sat, the Speaker of the House declared that since _habeus corpus_ was already suspended, Congress would proceed as though it had already consented. This infuriated basically everyone but the hardcore Lincoln Republicans, but without the Speaker’s cooperation, they couldn’t force a vote.
@@kluneberg8952 That’s much more of a gray area. While I believe in a right to secession, the Federal Government hadn’t done anything to justify it in 1861. Lincoln hadn’t even taken office when South Carolina seceded.
@@kluneberg8952 Lincoln had every right as commander in chief to do as he deemed fit to preserve the Union, so yes he did. As was confirmed by Texas v White, states did not have the right to unilaterally secede from the Union, no matter the cause.
@@tziirkq Lincoln was basically a dictator in all but name, who used the military and secret police to silence dissidents. Qxir mentioned it a bit, but he suspended Habius Corpus and began arresting most anyone who was against the war or who derided him, with the excuse of them being pro-confederate sympathizers. Sure he freed the slaves (only as a propaganda tool in areas the Union army held no actual control over at the time), but he was a ruthless politician who had a history of authoritarianism and wasn't afraid to use his power to silence opposition
Some have a fool for a client, but this guy had an idiot for a lawyer. Really, who doesn't check the gun's not loaded before putting it in their pocket? Eejit.
Not going to lie, it's kinda hard to argue against the claim of Abaraham Lincoln being a tyrant if his regime was imprisoning people over political dissent.
Oooh, talking about how he attempted to unit a northwestern confederacy, I beg you to check into the story of the attempted prison break of confederate soldiers on Johnson's Island in an attempt to unite a military division in ohio sympathetic to the south Absolutely nuts, but an interesting story
Ohio is weird. I lived in Texas all my life with family up there, and I’ve seen more confederate flags on those small trips to Ohio than I ever have in Texas, a state that actually fought for them lol.
Here’s how you spot a good lawyer: it costs 5k just to get in the room with them, and 30k every 2mos of work. If you pick up the phone to call them, they bill you. Why? Because only good lawyers are that busy and name their own price. Did they only ask for 10-20k? You got a bad lawyer, and should stick with a public defender
Haha! You spent 10-20k on an atty? You're fucked. Like comment above says, it all depends on what you need an atty for. I had to get one and it was about 5k. Fixed my problem just fine.
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.
I do love the fact that everybody knows that if your lawyer sucks you are going to prison but nobody accepts the fact that comes along with that in the idea that our legal system isnt actually a matter of guilty or not its a matter of "can you prove you didnt do it" bc if you cant then you go to prison regardless of if you did it or not bc "innocent until proven guilty" literally hasnt ever been how our legal system works regardless of the fact that thats how its supposed to work, case and point go ahead and look up how many people are wrongfully convicted (and later proven innocent) every year and then go ahead, sit back and realise that they have lied to you your entire life about how "free" you are 😒
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.)
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?
Great story, I only knew the part that a lawyer shot himself during a trial to prove his clients innocence, but never the whole background. Plus people do tend to forget Lincoln's vampire hunting days.
You're right, Lincoln is generally looked at favorably, but he was a tyrant, make no mistake, and not one bit anti-slavery. He was a principle drafter of the Corwin amendment, which would have made slavery permanent at the federal level, called the emancipation declaration a war measure only, and he used the 14th amendment as a bargaining chip with the Confederate states, claiming they could prevent its adoption if they rejoined the Union. The truth about Lincoln is he was in favor of the federal government, first and foremost, regardless of what that meant about slavery.

@@kluneberg8952 That’s much more of a gray area. While I believe in a right to secession, the Federal Government hadn’t done anything to justify it in 1861. Lincoln hadn’t even taken office when South Carolina seceded.
@@kluneberg8952 Lincoln had every right as commander in chief to do as he deemed fit to preserve the Union, so yes he did. As was confirmed by Texas v White, states did not have the right to unilaterally secede from the Union, no matter the cause.
He sounds like the kinda guy to somehow pass his final exam by guess work.
Gentlemen, it is a fine day. A fine day, indeed, for the legend himself has graced us with his upload
You're right the vampire killing really tips the scales...
They're actually a protected species these days. It's very un PC to treat vampires as if they were some kind of blood sucking parasite...🦇🩸🩸🩸
Uh… “Sons of Liberty “… never thought it might be real. MGS2 got the reference right.
"If I die then my client is innocent"
Judge: (-_-)
We would run out of lawyers if they were always this good.
One's opinion of Lincoln usually depends on how much you know about him.
if you know, you know
A tyrant
I'm not American, can you explain please?
@@tziirkq Lincoln was basically a dictator in all but name, who used the military and secret police to silence dissidents. Qxir mentioned it a bit, but he suspended Habius Corpus and began arresting most anyone who was against the war or who derided him, with the excuse of them being pro-confederate sympathizers.
Sure he freed the slaves (only as a propaganda tool in areas the Union army held no actual control over at the time), but he was a ruthless politician who had a history of authoritarianism and wasn't afraid to use his power to silence opposition
@@weabootrash5891You'd think he was in his rights to do so in the middle of a civil war, considering the Confederates were doing the same
Truly a (rather dubious) victory for the forces of justice!
You are supposed to check if the gun is loaded and then still treat it like it's loaded.
Those rules didn't exist for many decades after his death.
I saw this video at two in the morning and I’ve gotta say I’m not disappointed
Thanks for the great videos Qxir!!!
0:32 Oh yes gimme that lawyer that will fight Toot and nail for me. I love a good toot
Tom Myers? The inventor of the famous bong hit transplant joke?
The funniest man alive
Some have a fool for a client, but this guy had an idiot for a lawyer. Really, who doesn't check the gun's not loaded before putting it in their pocket? Eejit.
But it worked... Good damn lawer)
Not just an eejit - he was a feckin eejit.
Before this... Sad accident he's one of the best, if not THE Best defense lawyers in the US at the time...
The funny thing is, most likely he was far more educated than you.
@@sinisterthoughts2896 Maybe, maybe not, but I'm yet to accidentally shoot myself.
YES BRO 👊 So glad to see you back lad, hope you’re all well and good
Your video are so good, I know the story already but still watch your video !
"Your honor" *BANG* "i rest my case"
Not going to lie, it's kinda hard to argue against the claim of Abaraham Lincoln being a tyrant if his regime was imprisoning people over political dissent.
According to Gore Vidal, Lincoln did indeed fancy himself a king.
And even boasted he had more power than the queen of England
@@silent_stalker3687 Oh, really? He may very well have had more power.
As an American I can say this is the first I’ve heard about this character so thank you for the history lesson
To be fair, the gunpowder residue at different distances bit is pretty good.
not a lot of people acknowledge his vampire slaying, so bravo
"... Was born in Ohio-" yep, that explains everything
5:22 What were they fighting over, a bong hit transplant?
lmao so he had a full day to reflect on "his mistake" before he died while getting to hear everyones reactions
i was not expecting this to be about vallandingham
Oooh, talking about how he attempted to unit a northwestern confederacy, I beg you to check into the story of the attempted prison break of confederate soldiers on Johnson's Island in an attempt to unite a military division in ohio sympathetic to the south
Absolutely nuts, but an interesting story
Ohio is weird. I lived in Texas all my life with family up there, and I’ve seen more confederate flags on those small trips to Ohio than I ever have in Texas, a state that actually fought for them lol.
@@chrisporter9397 Ohio was a state at the time and had a bigger stake between their location and population.
This is just an average Ace Attorney case
Here’s how you spot a good lawyer: it costs 5k just to get in the room with them, and 30k every 2mos of work. If you pick up the phone to call them, they bill you.
Why? Because only good lawyers are that busy and name their own price. Did they only ask for 10-20k? You got a bad lawyer, and should stick with a public defender
That greatly depends on your reasons for needing a lawyer.
Haha! You spent 10-20k on an atty? You're fucked.
Like comment above says, it all depends on what you need an atty for.
I had to get one and it was about 5k. Fixed my problem just fine.
6:22 had me rolling. Reminded me of the video of the ATF “expert” unable to disassemble a Glock 😂😂
Hell yeaaaaaaah! You returned!
TH-cam is not the same without tales from the bottle 😢
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.
I was suggested here while listening to the song “Dupe - Mbappe” ❄️❄️‼️
So Lincoln basically proved him right. Oh, politics.
I do love the fact that everybody knows that if your lawyer sucks you are going to prison but nobody accepts the fact that comes along with that in the idea that our legal system isnt actually a matter of guilty or not its a matter of "can you prove you didnt do it" bc if you cant then you go to prison regardless of if you did it or not bc "innocent until proven guilty" literally hasnt ever been how our legal system works regardless of the fact that thats how its supposed to work, case and point go ahead and look up how many people are wrongfully convicted (and later proven innocent) every year and then go ahead, sit back and realise that they have lied to you your entire life about how "free" you are 😒
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.)
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?
"I've shot myself!.... The defense rests."
it sure does
Bro worked with the La Le Lu Le Lo?!
Kojima must’ve really inspired these guys
Great story, I only knew the part that a lawyer shot himself during a trial to prove his clients innocence, but never the whole background.
Plus people do tend to forget Lincoln's vampire hunting days.
Finally, a lawyer that can represent Florida Man.
seems like he may have been kinda right about lincoln being a despot though lmao
6:18 Shades of Alec Baldwin!
bro gave himself the Baldwin special
Surely you are not talking about Alec"when I see a thot,my gun goes hot"Baldwin.
Welcome back sir 🫡
Now that's a lawyer you can trust. As long as firearms or a league of traitors aren't involved, I'd call him over saul in a heartbeat.
You're right, Lincoln is generally looked at favorably, but he was a tyrant, make no mistake, and not one bit anti-slavery. He was a principle drafter of the Corwin amendment, which would have made slavery permanent at the federal level, called the emancipation declaration a war measure only, and he used the 14th amendment as a bargaining chip with the Confederate states, claiming they could prevent its adoption if they rejoined the Union. The truth about Lincoln is he was in favor of the federal government, first and foremost, regardless of what that meant about slavery.
