This is my first TL so please be gentle :D

January 30th, 1835---Washisgton, D.C.

Richard Lawrence could barely hold in his excitement. I'm finally going to pay that bastard back for killing my pappy! and MUHUHAHAHA! were the type of thoughts swirling through Richie's deranged mind as he crouched behind a column in front of the U.S. capital building.

Such thoughts were put on temporary hold when Lawrence heard the door to the capital swing open. Here comes Jackson now...

The president walked past the pillar, seemingly unawares of the psychopath lurking behind it. Lawrence's face broke into a Maniacal grin.

Richie leaped out behind the President, pulled out his trusty pistol and pulled the trigger... nothing happened. Nothing, that is, but alarming every living soul within half a mile of the capital to Lawrence's violent intentions.

Quick, before somebody tackles you, SHOOT AGAIN! Thought Richie as he pulled out his trusty-er pistol. Well, he must've made somebody upstairs very angry, because this pistol's charge was a dud too. Lawrence threw both firearms away in disgust.

At this point Jackson had noticed what was going on, and was raising his cane in retaliation. Said cane looked very heavy, and even in his insanity Richie really didn't want it to strike him.

Well, all the more reason to shoot the bugger. 'reasoned' Lawrence Good thing I have a back-up plan!

Lawrence pulled out yet another pistol and pulled the trigger.

This one was no dud.
