Ruby told the FBI, a month after his arrest for killing Oswald, that he had his loaded snub-nosed Colt Cobra .38 revolver in his right-hand pocket during the press conference. ~~~ Two days later on Sunday, November 24, after driving into town and sending a money order to one of his employees, Ruby walked to the nearby police...
