Most people are familar with the September 5, 1975 attempt by Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme in Sacramento CA. Fromme pointed a gun at Ford but was grabbed by the Secret Service. She got a life sentence for that stunt.
The second occured 17 days later in San Francisco. On September 22, Sara Jane Moore fired a revolver at Ford but this time an onlooker shoved the gun off target. Moore received a life sentence also. Ford must not have been very popular in California.
Interesting fact:Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme was a member of the notorious Manson Family, and was in fact one of the first members. She met Charles Manson during the "summer of love" in the Haight-Ashbury district in San Francisco in the 1960s.
