 When I say whoa, I mean whoa. In October of 1912, Teddy Roosevelt was campaigning to be president again after having left office in 1908. In a suit jacket pocket, he had a folded-up copy of a 50-page speech he was about to give in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In the same pocket, he had a metal case for his glasses. As Roosevelt was getting out of the car to give a speech, a man approached him, fired a gun right at the former president. The bullet went through the paper's metal glass case and into Roosevelt's chest.
