RE: Did Lincoln own any weapons?
Roger,

Do you know of any updates on Mr. Schwartz's research and intent to publish on the subject of Lincoln being armed on assassination night? I see that this thread had not been active for a while (2013 - before my time here) until today's post.

As others have stated, I would be very interested to read his point of view. I do seem to remember we touched on this topic in another thread as well (but I don't remember which). I would say, as of right now, I don't think Lincoln was packing heat (carrying a gun) that night. But, I suppose I could have my mind changed with appropriate evidence.

Bill made an interesting comment in the last post. He is right - he did have a weapon, the knife, so I would say he was armed. Illustrates that when asking a historical question, clarity is important. A distinction needs to be made between how he was "armed" - knife, gun, or otherwise.
