Governor Wallace was a staunch democrat and populist within the state of Alabama, who served four (non-consecutive terms) as Governor and who vehemently opposed racial integration and mandatory busing in the state. He was hit twice, with one bullet hitting his spine leaving him paralyzed for life from the waist down.
In May 1972, Governor Wallace was on a campaign tour as one of the democratic candidates for the Presidency of the United States and was shot after giving a campaign speech in Laurel Maryland. It is also accompanied by a copy of the sales receipt from the 'Casanova Gun' shop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Bremmer purchased the pistol. This historic revolver is accompanied by numerous documents, police reports, hospital records and a 9 page Report of Investigation by the Prince George County Police, attesting the criminal act, verifying that this exact pistol was the one used in the assassination attempt. This is truly a very unique and certainly a 'one of a kind' revolver that was used by Arthur Bremmer in the attempted assassination of then Governor George Wallace of Alabama.
