Guns and safety go together.

Police say the woman and her 15-year-old son where sitting in their vehicle when the teen removed a gun from under a seat.

According to police, the teen pulled the trigger thinking the gun had an external safety that would prevent the gun from firing. However, the gun had a trigger assembly safety and went off when the he pulled the trigger.

EPD says the woman was shot in the back.

If the lady had also had a gun, no doubt this would not have happened.

Let nothing take a back seat to politeness.

A 19-year-old woman was found shot in the back while sitting in the front passenger seat of a Toyota Camry at the restaurant at 2363 College Drive, Coppola said.

How can something that travels in a straight line “stray”? Inquiring minds want to know.

Play politely.

A 14-year-old girl had to be flown to a hospital after being shot by a 7-year-old boy playing “deer hunter” on Saturday, the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office said.
The boy was visiting a home on E. 310 Road in the northeastern part of the county when he got a .22-caliber rifle from a bedroom and said he was going to play “deer hunter,” the sheriff’s office said.

No adults were at home and the gun was obviously unsecured, but no charges will be filed because it was just all good clean fun and boys and their toys and all that.

Take a hike, politely.

He was carrying a handgun and knew he needed to dismantle it before traveling anywhere because he did not have a valid concealed pistol license.

I have nothing against hunting, at least by responsible hunters who obey the law and dine on their prey; I grew surrounded by such hunters. I must say, however, that trigger-happy hunters continually undermine their own pastime.
