Read about the effects of all that politeness A snippet–much more at the link.

The South Carolina State Fair closed early Saturday night and some patrons suffered bumps, scrapes and bruises amid panic caused by reports of gunfire.

“No shots were fired on the fairgrounds and, fortunately, no serious injuries occurred,” according to a statement from South Carolina State Fair general manager Nancy Smith.

Just another day in NRA paradise.

Some persons are driven to be polite.

The NRA will no doubt argue that, had this two-year-old been packing, he could have prevented this.

Politeness takes practice (emphasis added).

The manager told WAAY 31 an older customer was using one of the ranges Friday morning when he accidentally shot himself in the hand. She said Bullet and Barrel has Range Safety Officers in the bays at all times in case of an emergency, and everyone must obey and sign the rules and regulations list.

On the list, it says to treat all guns as if they are loaded, always point guns in a safe direction and keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to shoot.

The cite from the aforementioned list is pretty basic gun safety stuff that I learned at my Daddy’s knee. It’s also hardly rocket science. Hell, it’s hardly Gilbert chemistry set science.

I reckon he failed to read and comprehend the list before he signed it. . . .

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.

The hunt for politeness continues . . . .

MDIFW spokesperson Matt Latti said in a statement released Wednesday that the Franklin County Regional Communications Center took a call from Mark Henderson, 57 of Eustis, at 5:56 p.m. Tuesday evening. Henderson told dispatchers that he had unintentionally shot himself in the lower left leg while bird hunting on a remote logging road near the northwest shore of Flagstaff Lake in Flagstaff Township.

By the time rescuers got to him, he was too far gone to survive.

Be polite to your neighbors.

After interviewing witnesses, police determined that the man had been upset by his upstairs neighbors making too much noise around midnight. He attempted to confront them directly, to no effect.

Phoenix police sergeant Vince Lewis told KTAR that the man “had banged on the (neighbors’) door, yelling at them, trying to make contact during this argument.” He then headed back downstairs and allegedly retrieved a handgun from his apartment.

Police say that he then pointed the gun upwards towards his ceiling and discharged several shots, the last of which somehow wound up striking him in the face. No other people were injured in the incident.

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.

Politeness is going to the dogs.

The stupid. It burns.

Celebrate your birthday, politely.

A Florida man shot and killed his son-in-law after the victim jumped out of the bushes to surprise him for his birthday.

Richard Dennis opened fire on Christopher Bergan, 37, outside his house in Pensacola on Tuesday night in what police described as a ‘horrible accident’.

Afterthought:

One more time, “accident” and “negligence” are not synonyms.

This man took a life because he is a fearful little twerp whose NRA appendage makes him feel like a Real Big Man.

And yet another gun that fired itself . . . .

One of the man’s roommates was unloading a gun in the same room as the man and it went off, hitting the man in the face, Suazo said. It appeared to be accidental, and the roommate who accidentally shot the man remained at the scene and was being cooperative with police, he added.

Be polite to the neighborhood children.

The Butler boy and a group of kids were playing with a ball outside of a home when it went into a neighbor’s yard on accident. Police said that neighbor, Scott Spahn, grabbed a gun and pointed it at the boys.

The boy said he and his friends play in the street and on the sidewalk all the time, but this time, he said, Spahn wouldn’t give them the ball back and threatened them with a revolver.

I wonder, was it his antlers or his fluffy little tail?

During their hunt, police said Bobby Lane was in an area of heavy foliage and was mistaken for a deer. . . .

Lane was pronounced dead at the hospital, the news release states.

In other news, politeness is going to the dogs.

The look of politeness
Is in your eyes.
The look that bandages
Cannot disguise . . . .

According to the department, investigators believe Elliott shot Mixon for looking at him while stopped at a red light near Thunderbird Road and 30th Street.

More guns means more politeness. Just ask the National Russian Association.

Seal your friendship with politeness.

A Louisiana man was arrested for allegedly shooting and killing his childhood friend with the victim’s own gun after he picked up the pistol to admire it during a party, authorities said.

Though the gun was loaded, it did not have a bullet in the chamber when Lemley was given it, but he pulled its slide back and simultaneously squeezed its trigger, cops said witnesses told them.

One of the guests reportedly said he tried warning Lemley that he had loaded a bullet into the firearm’s chamber, but it was already too late.

Be polite to your suite mates.

Sheriff’s deputies said they reported to a call regarding an accidental shooting, and found a victim suffering gunshot wounds at the home. A man reportedly heard a noise and went outside to investigate, carrying his pistol. When he returned inside, the man mistook his roommate for an intruder and shot him, according to Capt. David Agee of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

He pointed a gun at a man, he pulled the trigger, he hit his target.

And the story goes on that “witnesses” are calling this “accidental.”
