First of all Oswald didn't have a driver's license or a car. He dependent on public transportation and other people to get to and from work and being able to visit his wife and child. Oswald had seen the newspaper article outlining the motorcade route on the 21st and saw that it would be passing directly by his place of work and that is likely when he began forming the idea to assassinate Kennedy. But there was just one problem. His rifle was in the Paine's garage in Irving and not at his North Beckley rooming house. So he would have to go there to get it and it was Thursday not Friday. Oswald would always go to the Paine's house on Fridays. Never on a Thursday. Plus he would always call in advance before coming. He didn't go to Irving the previous Friday because Marina was angry with him after finding out he was still using an alias and it was Ruth Paine's husband's birthday and he and Oswald didn't get along that well. So he left directly from the Depository to the Paine house with coworker Wesley Buell Frazier that Thursday without calling Marina beforehand. So his revolver was still in the North Beckley rooming house when he left to go to work at the Depository the next morning on Friday. That's why he didn't have his revolver with him. And just saying you're a patsy doesn't make you one and by the way he grinning when he said it he was clearly enjoying the attention and wasn't really scared or nervous at all.
ok.
