Andrew Jackson survived an assassination attempt in Washington D.C. on January 30, 1835. He was leaving the Capitol building after attending a funeral when Richard Lawrence fired a pistol at him twice. Because the pistol misfired both times, it missed hitting Jackson who then proceeded to hit the would-be-assassin with his cane.
