“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0
Politeness is a family affair.
The girl’s mother told officers she had brought home two .50-caliber muzzleloaded guns from a cabin.
Butler County sheriff’s investigator Randle Huddleston said the girl’s father thought they were unloaded.
He picked one of them up, and while handling the firearm, he inadvertently squeezed the trigger, and it went off.
She has politeness all over her shoulder, face, and chest.
Aside:
Methinks the writer inadvertently misplet “negligently.”
