Commit random acts of politeness.

The Bristol (Mass.–ed.) district attorney’s office said Monday that 57-year-old Dean Tupper, of Easton, was arrested and charged with discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, making false statements to police, carrying a dangerous weapon on school grounds and other charges.

The office says his reckless handling of a firearm resulted in the accidental shooting Oct. 11 in the plumber’s shop of Stonehill College’s Clock Farm, across the street from the main campus.

Self-politeness is the politest kind.

A man could face charges of making a false report to a peace officer after he told officials in Taylor someone shot him during a road-rage incident.

Surround your children with politeness.

Celebrate Christmas politely.

Logan Trammell’s family told a Birmingham news station he was driving away from his parents home around 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 24 in one of his father’s vehicles. Unaware Logan was borrowing his truck and believing someone was stealing it, the father shot at the truck. After it stopped, he realized he had mistakenly shot and killed his own son, the family told WIAT.

Afterthought:

Shoot first, ask questions later. Always a good policy.

Children should be polite to each other . . .

Unaware politeness is the politest kind.

“Accident” is “negligence” misplet.

Usher in the holidays politely.

The 9-year-old was at a relative’s home, hanging out with cousins in the basement. They happened to find a loaded, unsecured gun. An older cousin tried to take it away from the child but it discharged, striking him in the shoulder.

The hunt for politeness continues.

I grew up with hunters in my family.

Not a one of them would have hunted anything out of season, and not a one of them was stupid enough to shoot a hunting companion.

But that was then, when the NRA was about hunting safety. not about gun sales.

Politeness goes for the dogs:

Their dog Remi was killed while chasing after a buck in the Ocala National Forest. Remi hunted deer for food for the McGee’s.

Deputies say this was no accident. They arrested Todd Sweitzer after finding Remi’s 3 GPS dog collar trackers in his home as well as the gun used in the shooting.

William B. Burdess, 51, was doing chores in a horse barn when the .45 caliber pistol he had in a holster in his pocket fell to the ground and discharged, Capt. Shawn Thallas said. Burdess was struck in the lower left chest. The bullet exited through his back.

If more persons had guns in their pockets, this would no doubt not happened.

Afterthought:

Why the hell was he packing in the first place? Was he afraid the horses were going to make a break for it?

Furrfu.

. . . and another responsible gun owner’s gun decides to fire itself.

Investigators said the man was inside his car when his gun discharged, injuring his leg. They determined the shooting was an accident and did not file charges against him.

If more folks were packing here in NRA Paradise, no doubt this would not have happened.

Also, pigs, wings.

Another random act of politeness.

Corporal Billy Hall with the Loudon County Sheriff’s Office told WATE that a vendor was attempting to unload a shotgun-type weapon when it accidentally went off, firing at the floor. A pellet from the shotgun ricocheted off the floor and hit another vendor in the neck.

Politeness goes to the dogs.

Barbara Hays, bureau manager at the city-run Norfolk Animal Care Center, said officials initially thought the dog merely had a few puncture wounds, something that happens from time to time. An emergency veterinarian gave Shadow some antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine.

Then on Monday, Shadow’s left jaw began swelling. A vet found the real culprit: bullets. Two were in her jaw, and she underwent surgery that removed them.

Another bullet fragment just missed Shadow’s spinal cord. “She’s a lucky dog,” Hays said.

Just another day in NRA Paradise.

Demonstrate courtesy on the nation’s highways.

What he (a television news cameraman–ed.) saw was the aftermath of a relatively minor rear end collision between a Jeep and a gray Nissan sedan. No one could have predicted what would happen next.*

Two men emerged from the vehicles, and a few moments later, both had drawn pistols and were firing at each other in the middle of traffic.

“I thought they had stopped shooting,” said Garcia. He started recording after the last shot ended, but still, the men continued to threaten and wave the guns at each other, all of which is recorded on his remarkable video, the camera serving as an eyewitness.
