Politeness rides again.

An Elliott County woman was injured following an accidental shooting in the 1200 block of Stamper Ridge, according to the Kentucky State Police.

KSP said a boy was dismounting from his horse and the .22 caliber pistol he was carrying fell from the holster and hit the ground. The gun discharged, injuring the boy’s mother Jereen Stamper, 39.

You may ask, “Why is a 12-year-old packing heat on a horse trail?” It’s the NRA dream: every city, Dodge City; every hill, Boot Hill.

Surround your offspring with politeness.

A 2-year-old girl suffered a gunshot wound Wednesday in a Jackson hospital waiting room when her mother’s gun went off, police said.

Officer Colendula Green said a woman was waiting to be seen about 9:30 a.m. at Merit Health Central Medical Center when she went to a vending machine with her daughter, Green said. The woman dropped her purse and a gun inside went off, Green said.

Conflict resolution, the NRA way.

Play politely.

Police say the girl, whose name has not been released, was shot Thursday night and died from her injuries at a hospital on Friday.

Springfield Police Sgt. John Delaney told WWLP-TV that the teen and a 17-year-old boy were “playing around” with a gun when the firearm went off and hit the girl.

Another day of NRA roulette.

Demonstrate courtesy on the public thoroughfares.

Police spokesman John Elder said the woman was southbound near Groveland Avenue at 5 p.m. when she was cut off by a beige four-door Jeep Cherokee with tinted windows.

She honked at the car, which then slowed down next to her driver side, and a passenger shot at her multiple times with a black handgun, Elder said.

Just another day in NRA paradise.

And, in more news of the polite, just how stupid do you have to be not to ensure that your gun is unloaded before you fondle it lustfully clean it? Inquiring minds want to know.

Politeness takes practice.

According to the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, there was an accidental shooting reported at the city of Napoleon’s shooting range on Tuesday.

The Northwest State Law Enforcement Academy was at the range training when a student was shot in the back by another student.

Politeness is cleaning up.

Two men suffered wounds Tuesday morning when a gun accidentally went off while being cleaned.

One man reportedly had a bullet wound through the hand and the other was shot in the hand and stomach, . . . .

Friends treat friends politely.

Homicide detectives have identified the person who shot and killed a local businessman last week at a friend’s home in central Amarillo, but no arrests have been in the case, police said Monday.

“It’s a tragedy, a freak accident,” Berry said. “It was a misfire of a gun that ricocheted, hit the floor and unfortunately hit Chad. It’s crushing for everybody who was there and even more crushing for the one who was holding the weapon.”

Where I come from, a “misfire” means the damn gun doesn’t go off.

Politeness can be a moving experience.

Witnesses at the home say they were in the process of helping the family move, when a bed was broken down and a gun was found between the mattresses. The gun was placed on the floor and later picked up by a 3-year-old. The toddler discharged the weapon into the floor, the bullet ricocheted off of a window sill and struck Sorensen in the left foot. Sorensen has been treated at EIRMC for his injury.

And, in more news of the polite . . . .

Is it polite to give a trigger warning?

The man told police he had just gotten into his vehicle when the incident happened. He stated he attempted to remove his weapon and holster from his pocket when his finger accidentally engaged the trigger, causing the gun to go off. His adult son, who was nearby, heard the shot and provided medical aid until medics arrived to the scene.

Politeness takes practice.

Around 11:15 a.m. Saturday, an 18-year-old man was found suffering from a single gunshot wound after reports of a possible shooting. . . .

Authorities are saying that at this point in their investigation it seems like the victim was struck by accident by someone target shooting in the area.

Politeness will give you a leg up in this world. Or something.

A 32-year-old Walton County man didn’t break any laws Saturday when he shot his lawn mower filled with an explosive, but he did lose his leg below the knee, the sheriff’s office said.

About 3:50 p.m., David Presley of Monroe shot an old lawn mower loaded with three pounds of Tannerite, according to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office. The lawn mower exploded.

Bet he takes up drones for his next hobby.

Children should treat adults with politeness.

Authorities say an East Texas woman was fatally shot after an eight-year-old boy picked up a rifle and it accidentally discharged.

Anderson County Sheriff Greg Taylor says the boy picked up a rifle while in a room with the woman’s husband, who was cleaning weapons Saturday at a home in Palestine. The bullet hit 23-year-old Carmen Danielle Morris, who was in another room.

Scatter politeness where ye may,
Concern ye not who’s in the way.

The 19-year-old woman who was unintentionally shot and killed Tuesday was hanging out with friends before a planned camping trip, her uncle said today.

Carly Ellis was killed when Aaron Randal, 22, unintentionally discharged a weapon in a home on Lewis Street and shot Ellis through a wall around 1 p.m. Tuesday. She was hit in the neck and mortally wounded.

Inculcate politeness from a young age.

Police believe a 2-year-old boy found a gun inside his mother’s purse and accidentally shot and critically injured himself in the stomach area early Monday in DeKalb County.

Politeness is essential to a smoothly-functioning team.

Pratt, a receiver, and Scott Boyett, 23, an offensive tackle from Dania, Fla., have separate apartments at an off-campus house in the 500 block of Rentschler Street.

About 3 a.m., Pratt entered Boyett’s apartment without knocking or announcing himself.

Boyett shot Pratt because he thought he was a burglar.

No charges were filed because what’s a little mistake between teammates.

If he had had more guns, perhaps this would not have happened.
