Be polite while patronizing the big box store:

The man was in a Walmart store near Watson and Yuma roads around 6:30 p.m., when the semiautomatic handgun began to slip as he carried it unholstered in the waistband of his sweatpants, Buckeye police said.

The man told police that when he tried to reposition his loaded gun and keep it from falling, he shot himself in the groin area.

The hunt for politeness goes on.

Detectives reported that one hunter was pulling a gun up into a tree stand with a rope when it discharged, striking the victim who was at the base of the tree.

“Responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.

Get an unload of all the politeness.

When authorities arrived on the scene, it found one passenger suffered a gunshot wound to his torso and leg. It was caused by an unintentional shot by the rear seated passenger while he was unloading his handgun.

I am beginning to suspect that one of the qualifications for having a firearm is to fail an IQ test.

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 goes on.

Robert Potter, 54, was hunting deer late Tuesday afternoon on private property in Chatham when he was accidentally* shot by Ernest Sutliff, 38, of Albuquerque, N.M. Potter and Sutliff are related and were hunting together with two other family members.

*Once again, an editor fails to catch a misspelling of “negligently.”

Be polite to your friends.

A Sheriff Department release said an investigation revealed a 13-year-old male and a 16-year-old male were at the 13-year-old’s residence when the 13-year-old was loading a rifle and the weapon fired striking the 16-year-old in the back.

A 14-year-old male was at the residence and called 911, the report said.

Maintain politeness.

New York State Police said 35-year-old Eric Rosenbrock was performing maintenance on his legally possessed handgun when a shot was discharged that hit his wife, 34-year-old Ashley Rosenbrock.

“Performing maintenance.” Furrfu.

He is now a widower by his own hand.

Politeness is the bedrock of a strong marriage.

New York state police say 34-year-old Ashley Rosenbrock was shot Thursday night in her home in Corinth. She was pronounced dead at Saratoga Hospital.

Police said Saturday that Rosenbrock’s 35-year-old husband, Eric Rosenbrock, was “performing maintenance” on his legally owned handgun when it went off.

Thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.

Politeness is a family value.

The preliminary investigation indicated that both children, one age 4, the other age 11, were lying in their parent’s bed watching television when one of them obtained or disturbed a firearm, which had not been properly secured by the children’s mother earlier in the day. The firearm, a .22 caliber target pistol, discharged and a single projectile struck both kids, causing non-life-threatening injuries. They were each transported to a nearby trauma center and are expected to make full recoveries.

Another one of those responsible gun owners joins the hunt for politeness.

But when the bullet struck, it wasn’t a deer that he had shot and killed, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement posted to Facebook.

Rather, it was a 72-year-old woman who fell victim to the deer hunter, the post says.

Deputies with the sheriff’s office were called to the “tragedy” in Yale at 1:43 p.m. on Sunday, and they arrived at 2:15, according to the statement.

The Johnson County Sheriff said the fatal shot was an accident, KARK reported, as the hunter mistook the woman for a deer.

Must have been her antlers . . . .

By the by, shooting at a target without making certain of what it is cannot be minimized as an “accident.”

It’s prima facie negligence.

Politeness gets waisted.

The woman was shot in the stomach around 6 p.m. on Magazine Street. She was taken to a hospital, where she underwent surgery.

A neighbor said her daughter ran to help the woman, whose boyfriend carried her out of the home and said she pulled a gun from his waistband and it went off.

The victim is recovering.

When someone offers to assist you in your time of need, respond politely.

They (Florida–it would be Florida–State Police–ed.) say the male driver lost control and hit a guardrail.

Orlando Police say a 16-year-old boy, whose home is near the 528, approached to the driver to see if he needed help.

The boy’s mother told police that the driver pulled out a gun and asked her son if he had a credit card and a car.

She says that her son said no and ran back home, where she could call 911.

Via Job’s Anger.

Politeness once again goes to the dogs.

Daugherty’s gun had been propped up inside the hunting blind when a dog entered, knocking it over and causing it to discharge. The firearm was a 12-gauge Browning Maxus; the safety was not engaged.

Greaseburger with a side of politeness:

According to the Caldwell Parish Sheriff’s Office, the person arrested was a female employee at the (McDonalds–ed.) restaurant. They say the gun discharged when the employee accidentally dropped it. The bullet hit a water line in the ceiling, damaging the water line. No one was hurt.

Why the hell does anyone need to pack heat to make Big Macs?
