If at first you don’t polite, try try again . . . .

It’s her daughter’s live-in boyfriend of nearly a year. Investigators say at a home down this dirt road in Hephzibah, Benjamin Goodson pointed a shotgun at 6-year-old Ryder and pulled the trigger. The gun did not fire. But, then Goodson pulled the hammer back and fired again at Ryder, shooting him in the chest.

“My grandson did not deserve to die, he didn’t,” said Stamey. “There’s nothing this little boy could’ve ever done wrong in his life for anybody to have ever done anything to him to hurt him.”

Intentional or not Benjamin Goodson is facing charges of murder.

The story goes on to say that alcohol may have been involved. Stupid was certainly involved. The shooter has been charged.

This news report finds a bright side to NRA Paradise.

The Autauga County Sheriff’s Office received a call around noon Sunday that a 9-year-old girl accidentally shot herself on Laurel Hills Drive.

Although the tragedy has cut a young life short, good has already been born from the pain. The family says some of Alyssa’s major organs are being donated so others may live.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

We are a lost society.

Rack up another one for politeness.

Witnesses stated that the victim and two other juveniles were in the residence when incident occurred. Koby Lee Keever, 15, of Reeves was shot in the stomach. Keever was transported to the Lake Charles Memorial hospital for treatment. Deputies investigating the incident were told by witnesses the gun fell off a gun rack onto the floor and discharged.

The boy did not survive.

Scatter politeness about your home.

A 9-year-old Autauga County girl died Sunday afternoon in an apparent accidental shooting, Sheriff Joe Sedinger confirmed.

The girl apparently shot herself with a handgun, the sheriff said.

Giving new meaning to the term “fired upon” at the intersection of guns and stupid . . . .

The Kokomo Tribune reports the 23-year-old was cleaning out a shed with a friend and throwing unwanted items into a bonfire.

Suddenly, the man heard a loud pop and felt sharp pain. Police say an investigation revealed one of the containers tossed on the fire likely held a .22 caliber bullet, which discharged after it heated up.

Politeness is going to the dogs.

“Charlie got his foot in the trigger of the gun and I leaned forward and he slipped off the seat and caught the trigger — and it shot,” Gilligan told the newspaper. “It was a freak accident but it’s true, that’s what happened.”

The shotgun fired by Charlie, a 120-pound Rottweiler mix — or, presumably, a “Shot-weiler” — blasted through the driver’s seat and entered Gilligan’s back, breaking several ribs and his collarbone. He was lucky to survive the freak accident, he said.

I do not want to seem querulous–oh, forget it, I do. There’s a reason that guns are supposed to be kept unloaded, or, at the minimum, kept with safeties engaged, until you are ready to use them (though I have been given to understand, he weasel-worded, that some guns these days are not equipped with safeties, because responsible gun owners are always responsible; also, pigs, wings).

Drive politely.

Officers met the couple at the hospital and found the man, whose name was not released, with a single gunshot wound to the upper thigh. He was uncooperative with officers, the press release states, and wouldn’t say what happened other than he was “jumped.”

A bullet hole was found in the car door of the vehicle the couple arrived in, and after more questioning the woman said the man had accidentally shot himself while in the driver’s seat of the vehicle. The gun had been tossed out of the vehicle in the area of Wicks Lane and St. Andrews Drive.

It seems that the jumper and jumpee were one and the same.

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, and bags more stupid.

The Brown County Sheriff’s Office says Nadia Meyers was hunting small game Monday with several others when one person in her party shot at a rabbit, missing the animal and striking Meyers.

Now, about those IQ tests for hunting licenses . . . .

Face up to the politeness.

When police arrived at the scene they found an 18-year-old who sustained a gunshot wound to his face.

The injuries were non-life threatening but the teen was still taken to the hospital.

Police finished their investigation into the matter and determined that the gun was accidentally discharged.

I find the use of the passive voice somewhat noteworthy creepy.

Another polite family . . . .

Officials said the 13-year-old shot his younger brother with a small-caliber handgun. The 11-year-old boy was flown to a hospital by Life Flight and was in stable but critical condition, officials said.

Once again, politeness turns out to be child’s play.

Investigators say the child and his father went over to an older man’s home, a friend, to help work on the flooring Thursday. When the father and homeowner went to get more supplies, police say the child was left in the care of a woman at the home, who didn’t live there.

Police say the woman had just walked out of the room for a minute, unaware of the gun, which wasn’t readily visible. That’s when investigators say the child found it and accidentally shot himself.

Politeness with your paramour is paramount.

A woman was hospitalized early Tuesday after being accidentally shot by her boyfriend as the couple sat inside a car in north Houston, according to investigators.

The couple was parked at America’s Best Value Inn near Airline Drive and the North Freeway about 1:35 a.m. when the weapon discharged, the Houston Police Department said. Investigators believe the man was either showing off or simply playing around with the weapon when it fired.

Thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.

Show courtesy on the nation’s thoroughfares.

A crash involving two cars happened westbound on Interstate 20 near the New York Avenue exit at about 8 p.m.

Lt. Chris Cook, a spokesman with Arlington police, said a slower car was sideswiped when one driver aggressively tried to pass the vehicle.

When the two cars pulled over near the New York Avenue exit, one of the drivers exited the vehicle to exchange insurance information but was shot in the head.

In the NRA’s Garden of Eden, politeness is a family value.

A 10-year-old girl has died after being shot by her twin brother in an apparent accidental shooting, the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Monday.

Politeness is a family affair.

The 11-year-old girl was shot while she and a sibling were waiting in the car for a parent shopping inside the store, an official source told News4 affiliate WAFF.

The sibling found a gun under the seat of the car and shot the girl in the head.

Thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.

(Had there been two guns under that seat, perhaps she could have returned fire in self-defense.)

More responsible gun owners.

Two people in the Omaha metro area accidentally shot themselves Saturday.

One was old. One was young. Both have only themselves to blame.

The hunt for politeness drags on.

A Potlatch man was injured early Monday after being shot by his hunting partner, a 31-year-old man from Coeur d’Alene, reports the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office.

(snip)

Both men were wearing camouflage hunting gear at the time.

Look for signs of politeness.

Greenwood County Coroner Sonny Cox identified the victim as 48-year-old Joe Darius Black, who died of a single gunshot wound to the chest.

Investigators say Gravley fired a gun at a road sign in a nearby intersection, the release states. The bullet “passed through or by the road sign” and traveled through a wooded area in front of the victim’s home.

The hunt for politeness goes international.

Marc Sutton was killed in “thick woods” near a ski resort last night after it was claimed the expat may have been mistaken for a fast-moving animal (while he was riding a mountain bike–ed.).

(snip)

On this occasion, up to 18 hunters were taking part, but apparently failed to notice the rider, who was wearing bright clothes and easily identifiable, according to the investigating source.

Shower your neighbors with politeness.

Tempe police arrested Saevon Clark, who told officials he pulled the trigger accidentally while placing the gun on the floor.

The bullet pierced a wall and was about a foot away from hitting a man who was showering in a separate apartment next door, records state.
