One more time . . . politeness is child’s play.

. . . and a polite society is a clean society.

Police say a Massachusetts man had to be airlifted to a hospital after apparently accidentally shooting himself in the arm while cleaning a gun.

Police in the small Berkshire Country town of Monterey say the 70-year-old man was at a table in his home Wednesday afternoon cleaning the firearm when it discharged.

Be polite to your romantic partners.

First responders arrived to find the man applying pressure to a wound on the right side of his 21-year-old girlfriend of four months. She told police they had just returned to his apartment after getting dinner when she heard a gunshot and (she–ed.) fell to the ground.

(snip)

The man gave a brief statement at the scene, saying that the couple had just gotten back to his apartment from dinner. He always has a pistol with him, and he thought he cleared the rounds from it when they returned. He said he didn’t realize it was loaded when it went off, and the bullet hit his girlfriend.

He didn’t know the gun was loaded (sigh).

Well-oiled politeness.

As they drove on Polk Street, with the woman sitting in the front passenger’s seat and Beltran sitting in the back, directly behind Sosa, Beltran allegedly removed his gun from his waistband because it was uncomfortable.

Beltran allegedly began waiving around the gun to the tune of music playing in the car. The woman in the front saw Beltran waiving the gun and told him to put it away, prosecutors said.

Suddenly, the gun went off and at least one bullet struck Sosa in the torso.

According to the story, this happened after a day of drinking. The victim died and, in a somewhat unusual development, charges have been preferred.

Those responsible gun owners–they’re always responsible until they’re not.

Be polite at the pizzeria popular for preteen parties.

The hunt for politeness goes on.

Six people were hunting deer in the mountains near Cuyama, which border the southwestern part of the Carrizo Plain, Capt. Todd Tognazzini with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said.

One of the hunters saw movement in the brush and fired with a “high-powered rifle,” but instead of hitting a deer, he hit another man in the party in the shoulder, Tognazzini said.

No doubt it was the antlers.

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.

Children should learn to play politely.

The mother told police she had a handgun in her closet when she walked outside to do something in her yard. She then heard a gunshot and walked back inside to find her son had shot himself in his hand.

Self-politeness is the politest king.

The hunt for politeness proceeds apace.

On the opening day of squirrel hunting season, a 55-year-old man was shot by his brother at a state park in Webster County, officials said.

The man was shot in the upper body by his brother, 50, while they were hunting at the Brushy Creek State Recreation Area. Officials believe the shooting was an accident.

Because he looked so much like a tree-dwelling rodent, no doubt . . . .

Practice random acts of politeness.

Leonard was watching football with friends when he heard a gunshot.

“I walked into the room and saw that he was hurt in the hand and was yelling and the girls were yelling,” Leonard explained.

Leonard said Melton accidentally fired his gun.

Practice random acts of politeness.

An 11-year-old boy picked the suspect, Stacey Ratcliffe, 25, out of a line up as the man who was tapping the side of his white SUV with a handgun, and pointed it at him as he drove past on Allison Avenue.

. . . and a polite society is a clean society.

Randell said the two argued when he told Jakari to “clean-up his room” after he found “dirty cereal bowls and other food items” in it.

Play politely.

Prosecutors say when police responded to a Bridge Street apartment at about 1:40 a.m Wednesday, Rittenhour told them the accident happened when she was playing with the victim’s gun. That victim was later identified as Steven Asselin, of Manchester.

“She was pointing it in his direction, put her finger on the trigger, and fired the gun,” said Assistant Hillsborough County Attorney Patrice Casian. “It subsequently struck the victim in the head and it was a fatal wound.”

In a rather unusual twist, “playing with a gun” has not served as a “Get Out of Jail Free” card; charges have been filed.
