Treat your parents with courtesy.

At the hospital, officers found a 51-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his right foot, she said.

Investigators with the Criminal Investigations Division determined the shooting was accidental after it was explained that David Avant was showing his father a gun in a home on the 800 block of Morrow St., Janvier said.

More evidence that a polite society is a clean society.

Politeness is child’s play.

Just another death in the NRA Garden of Eden.

Politeness takes practice.

Six people were injured in an accidental shooting at a Florida gun range Saturday, CBS Orlando affiliate WKMG-TV reports. . . .

Deputies said an antique shotgun accidentally discharged into the concrete floor while a 21-year-old man was loading it.

The shot from the shell spread politeness all around.

The hunt for politeness spreads.

Gun sense, indeed:

A gun-loving social media activist was shot and wounded Tuesday by her 4-year-old son while driving.

Investigators said Jamie Gilt was driving a four-door pickup truck hauling a horse trailer about 3 p.m. when the boy somehow managed to gain access to a .45-caliber handgun and shoot her from the back seat, reported the Florida Times-Union.

The woman apparently maintains a Facebook page called “Jamie Gilt for Gun Sense,” which has been deluged with critical messages since her accidental shooting.

I reckon that the moral of the story is, “Don’t let your offspring find your ammosex toy.”

Exchange your insurance information politely.

A man . . . said a woman stepped out of her car with a gun and fired shots at him after the two were involved in a minor wreck. Nearby witnesses say they saw her place a gun in the trunk of her car and drive off.

Mutual politeness strengthens relationships.

A man told officers that he and his girlfriend had been shot at another location, a release from the Omaha Police Department said. Both people were transported to Nebraska Medicine to be treated for injuries.

However, the release said, it was later learned that he had inadvertently shot himself through the arm and the bullet subsequently struck his girlfriend.

Be polite to your mother.

Jacob Hanson, 28, is a married father of two young boys and a gun owner who likes to drive around with his gun in the car.

Hanson’s 3-year-old son allegedly grabbed the 9 mm subcompact handgun out of the driver’s side compartment car and squeezed off a shot that hit his mother in the back of the head, according to police.

Fortunately for the mother, the shot was not fatal.

Another good guy with a gun . . .

According to police, the girl suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder while handling an unsecured firearm that accidentally discharged.

. . . and another gun that fires itself.

The owner of the gun has been arrested for “unsafe storage.” Follow the link and the reason that this was not just “another tragic accident” will be obvious.

Rear your children politely.

The coroner said Christopher Griffith, 3, shot himself in the chest at his home on the 2400 Block of Van Wedding Road.

“(We) did an autopsy today and he died from a single gunshot wound to the chest. All indications are is that he is the one that pulled the trigger,” Dearborn County coroner Steven Callahan said.

And, in more news of the polite, practice makes politeness.

Like banty roosters in the barnyard:

“Mine is bigger than yours.”

“Is not!”

“Is too!”

Words fail me.

Exit your vehicle, politely.

Police said the man and his wife were getting out of their vehicle when the man’s gun went off. He was shot in the ankle area.

This “guns everywhere” thing is working out so nicely, is it not?

Practice random acts of politeness.

About 8:45 a.m., Duchesne County sheriff’s deputies were called to the private shooting range on the L.C. Ranch. Two men were reportedly practicing long-range shooting while another man, 61, set up targets, according to a statement from the sheriff’s office.

“A communications error occurred between one of the shooters and the man marking targets, which resulted in the man down range being shot,” said Sheriff’s Lt. Jeremy Curry.

Note the passive voice. It would seem that no one actually did anything; stuff just happened.

Make politeness mandatory.

A Georgia business is now requiring all of their staff to obtain a concealed carry license and carry a weapon at work. “Everybody has one of these in their drawer or on their person. I would not want to come into one of my facilities,” business owner Lance Toland told WSB-TV in Atlanta. “It’s a 5 shot .410, just like a shotgun and you call it hand cannon.”

There’s a reason they are called gun nuts.

That whole “guns for protection” thing is working out so nicely.

Local media outlets report the shooting happened about 2:15 a.m. Monday at the Delux Inn & Suites.

Birmingham police Sgt. Rebecca Herrera says the woman was in the motel room when she thought she heard a noise. Police say she grabbed her gun that was under her pillow, and somehow accidentally shot herself in the chest.
