There's so much hype these days about hollow point bullets; I was just interested to know if Jack Ruby might have used one. I doubted that he did - I figured it was a 158 Grain LRN - but wasn't sure. Whatever he used, I knew it was fired from a snub nose revolver because I was watching in 1963 as it happened live on TV. I always thought it was the best advertisement for the effectiveness of a 38 Special snub nose revolver that I ever saw. A lot of people today may still doubt that Oswald shot Kennedy, or at least doubt that he was a lone gunman, but there's little question that an hour or so after Kennedy was shot, Oswald did use his own 38 Special revolver to kill Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippett. So regardless whether Oswald was a patsy or not in the Kennedy assasination, I see no reason to feel real sorry for him. He definitely did have a loaded gun in his possession, and did use it to draw down on and kill a Dallas Police Officer (who I don't believe ever even drew his own weapon).
I did always wonder why Oswald went back home after the Kennedy assasination though. It seems like if he went to work that Nov. 22 morning knowing what he was gonna do that day, he wouldn't have had to go back home later. It's also strange to me how much detail was paid in Officer Tibbetts autopsy report to the bullets that killed him, weight, length, etc. but how little information is availiable on the bullet that Jack Ruby used to kill Oswald.
