Talk:Richard Lawrence (failed assassin)

Untitled
Could we get a cite for "A firearms expert estimated that the probability of a pistol misfiring twice was about one in 125,000"? As I wrote in the article, the guns Lawrence used were known for misfiring under humid conditions such as what existed at the time of the attempt. Under what circumstances was the supposed test that produced the 125,000-1 odds conducted? It sounds like internet lore to me. MK2 22:04, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

I can't believe that no one has come up with a photo of this character. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.83.159.73 (talk) 22:18, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
