Be polite to your neighbors.

A young boy was injured Friday at a South Adams Street (Tallahasee, Fla.–ed.) apartment complex after a bullet accidentally fired from an upstairs bedroom punched through the ceiling and shattered the tile floor below.

A piece of the tile struck the victim, who witnesses identified as a young boy. He was hospitalized but has since been released.

Politeness is a family value.

Police in Fort Dodge say the death of a 17-year-old boy was from an accidental shooting by a family member.

No foul play is suspected in the death of Daiqualis Poe . . . .

One more time, “negligent” and “accidental” are not synonyms.

The hunt for politeness continues.

A 61-year-old man told investigators he accidentally shot and killed his 65-year-old brother while they were squirrel hunting on state-owned land in Reeseville Tuesday.

No doubt it was the bushy tail–oh, never mind.

Learning to be polite necessitates highly qualified trainers.

Two men designated as safety officers at the Cheshire County Shooting Sports Education Foundation suffered gunshot wounds when one of them mistook a loaded gun for a training gun during a presentation on Sunday, according to police.

Just not these guys.

A surfeit of politeness.

Just another day in NRA Paradise.

Self-politeness is the politest kind.

At the residence, witnesses informed police that the woman had been attempting to disassemble the gun, not knowing it was loaded. The gun then reportedly discharged by accident, and she was struck in the head.

Even if you are disassembling a gun, you aren’t supposed to point the business end at anyone.

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

Politeness takes practice.

A 21-year-old man was accidentally shot and killed in Selah on Friday night while practicing disarming techniques (from Youtube videos–ed.), according to a Selah Police Department news release.

While the gun was initially unloaded during their practice, they later reloaded the gun and failed to unload it before once again practicing the techniques, the news release said.

Treasure those polite fuelings . . . .

A man was hurt Monday evening in an accidental shooting at the Kroger gas station in the 2600 block of 5th Avenue, Huntington Police say.

The incident happened around 5:30 p.m. when the man dropped his gun, shooting himself in the chest.

Afterthought:

Was he playing quick draw with the gas pump or what?

The hunt for politeness continues apace, or is that “a piece.”

According to the Dunn County Sheriff’s Office, a 60-year man was shot while bird hunting at a game farm in the town of Red Cedar.

A member of the hunting party reportedly rested a shotgun on a bush to tend to a dog, when the gun fell over and went off.

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.

Once again, politeness becomes child’s play.

Politeness has a senior moment.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Why would someone need a gun in a old folks’ home? Is someone cheating at bingo?

We are a society of stupid.

And yet another gun fires itself . . . .

Officers responded to the home, and witnesses told police that a handgun was being improperly handled when it went off, hitting the woman in the face.

Politeness is a family value.

Police said the mother was alone in the bedroom when she heard noises from inside the house. The mother became startled as she was not expecting anyone to come over. The mother said she then saw someone running into the bedroom, at which point she fired her .38 special handgun, hitting her daughter once.

Aside:

Methinks events such as this–and I’ve noted a number of them in these electrons–are side-effects of the fear that forms part of Big Gun’s marketing tactics.
