Party hearty (and politely).

Demonstrate politeness whilst traversing the nation’s highways and byways.

Politeness is a family affair.

Police said the boy and his 1-year-old sister were in the car with his mother while his father was inside a nearby business. The father had placed his lawfully owned and carried handgun under the seat before getting out of the car, according to Liening.

The boy got out of his car seat and grabbed the gun, which accidentally discharged, striking the mom, Liening said.

The hunt for politeness continues, with yet another gun that fired itself.

The death involved “a man climbing down from his tree stand with a loaded rifle,” Donachy said. “He attempted to hand the rifle off to a partner. The gun fell and discharged.”

To recap, this responsible gun owner was climbing down from a tree stand and tried to hand his loaded weapon to another responsible gun owner on the ground.

Then responsibility ceased and the gun was on its own.

The drive for politeness continues.

Politeness takes practice.

Around 1:30 p.m., Titusville police were called to Parrish Medical Center for a 9-year-old girl who was accidentally shot by an older juvenile sibling during target practice in the woods off of State Road 407, just east of I-95.

Swan song.

Words fail me.

Just another day in the NRA’s garden of responsible gun owners . . . .

Anthony Knuth was intoxicated after drinking whiskey and beer when the incident unfolded in the city of Sanford, central Florida, on Saturday night,

The kids were in the lounge playing with Nerf guns, when Knuth told them he had a real gun, and he was going to load it. The 30-year-old then shot the child in the leg, according to Sanford Police Department.

Be polite to younger members of your family.

According to the sheriff’s office, the youth was laying in bed when a nine-millimeter handgun discharged in the adjacent living room. The bullet traveled through a wall to the adjacent bedroom and struck the upper torso of the boy. . . .

Another family member was handling the loaded gun when it accidentally discharged.

. . . and other writer who doesn’t know the difference between “accident” and “negligence.” Furrfu!

Practice random acts of politeness.

The hunt for politeness goes on.

Officials say a 9-year-old boy was accidentally killed by his father while hunting in South Carolina on Thanksgiving.

One more time, “accidentally” and “negligently” are not synonyms.

Be polite to your friends.

An Indiana teen was fatally shot while driving Tuesday after an assault-style rifle allegedly in the possession of the man seated behind her in the vehicle discharged, hitting her in the back.

The story goes on to report that this responsible gun owner has been charged.

Demonstrate politeness in reacting to a mishap on the nation’s byways.

Be polite while doing your business at the big box store.

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.

Yet another reminder that “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron:

“What we are dealing with are a couple of individuals that were recklessly, negligently shooting towards a roadway and they were shooting high powered weapons and we believe that weapon, due to their recklessness and negligence ended up discharging into the arm of a juvenile young man,” Kevin Daniels, Sanpete County Attorney, said.

According to the Sanpete Sheriff’s Office, the boy was in a vehicle traveling on U.S. Highway 89 just before 1:30 p.m. just north of Mount Pleasant when a bullet went through the windshield and hit his shoulder. He was transported to the Utah Valley Hospital where the bullet was removed. His wound was deemed non-life-threatening.

Packing heat is always such a good idea.

Neighborly politeness:

Officers say a man, around 20 years old, was in his apartment holding a gun. He told police it accidentally went off.

The bullet traveled through the wall and grazed his neighbor, a woman in her 60s, in another unit.

The man went over to check on the woman and stayed with her until officers arrived.

One more time, “accidentally” is not a synonym of “negligently.”
