Be polite to your siblings.

A 28-year-old Lowell man is in stable condition after accidentally being shot by his brother while hunting in Boston Township Saturday.

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid,
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you, brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

A polite society is a clean society.

Even though she asked her doctor and family to keep the baby’s sex a secret and asked her mom to throw a gender reveal party for her, she still knew in her heart the life she was carrying was a little girl. Teresa was 21 weeks pregnant when she died, and she had already picked out a name for her daughter — Luna.

Teresa died Monday night in what police said was an accidental shooting, sparked when her boyfriend, 18-year-old Shawn Patrick Burse, was cleaning a loaded rifle beside her.

Politeness goes to the dogs.

The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office has identified the man as 31-year-old Richard Jordan of Chatfield. This happened last Friday around 6:30 p.m. during an argument between Jordan and his girlfriend. It took place inside his residence at the 13,000 Block of Highway 52 SE.

At one point, the woman said she fell to the ground. Deputies said the argument escalated, and the dog tried to protect the woman by nipping at Jordan.

Jordan then allegedly shot the family dog with a 12 gauge shotgun and left the scene. The dog was an 8-year-old pitbull lab mix.

A man is reported to have accidentally fired a round from his pistol on Monday in a Stillwater Walmart.

(Police Capt. Kyle–ed.) Gibbs said the report indicates that an older man accidentally fired a round near the store’s jewelry department. The gun appears to have still been in his holster when the shot was fired.

“He said he’d dropped it earlier,” Gibbs said. “There is speculation that his jacket snagged the trigger.”

No one was injured and the man was asked to leave the store.

Do not let politeness go to waist.

The 25-year-old man told deputies he forgot he had a gun concealed in his waistband, and as he was changing clothes, the weapon dropped out of his waistband and onto the floor and discharged, striking him in the foot, sheriff’s officials said.

Practice brotherly politeness.

At around 7 p.m. officers were called to the Colorado Springs Fire Department Station 8 for an adult female who had arrived there with a gunshot wound to her foot, according to the police report.

Officers learned that the woman was home when her brother was allegedly cleaning his handgun and accidentally shot her.

Putting the “P” in politeness.

(Sorry, couldn’t resist.)

Exercise courtesy on our highways and byways.

They never know that the gun was loaded, do they?

If rule one of using a gun is don’t allow the gun to point at any living creature you don’t plan to shoot, rule two is to consider every gun loaded until you know positively it is not.

One more time, “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.

Brotherly politeness.

Politeness is, as ever, child’s play.

Be polite to your escort.

“Creel was being escorted out of the business (a bar–ed.) by a single employee,” Anderson said. “Once removed, Creel fired one shot in the vicinity of the employee. No patrons were in the area at the time of the incident.”
