The polite inspect the merchandise.

Apparently there was a bullet in the chamber that struck Selena Lewis, 16, of Maiden, in the chest, said Capt. Joel Fish of the Catawba County Sheriff’s office. The girl died en route to the hospital or shortly after she arrived.

She had traveled to a home at 2818 Rocky Ford Road near Newton on Sunday with two 21-year-olds, one of them a friend. Lewis had recently met the driver, Clayton Webb Jr. He was interested in buying the rifle and was looking it over when it fired. Lewis was taking a picture of it.

The device appears to be capable of performing its primary function, as the young lady is now deceased.

More etiquette at the link.

. . . and, once more, a gun pulls its own trigger.

Yet one more case of accidental politeness:

They say he was killed by an accidental discharge from a weapon that Dillon Vogt, 19, was holding. The two were shooting targets at Winkers’ house with some friends when the incident took place.

Politeness is relative.

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

More polite play.

She began playing with the weapon and evidently fired the weapon by accident, shooting herself in the abdomen.

More guns will no doubt ameliorate the incidence of such unfortunate misadventures.

Politeness takes practice.

Practice random acts of politeness.

Residents of a Winder neighborhood are breathing a sigh of relief after one of their neighbors started randomly shooting a gun, hitting several houses.

Accidental politeness:

Aside:

The old rule of thumb for news is to provide the “who, what, where, when, and how.” If you follow the link, you will see that this report fails that standard. It’s missing a “who” and a “how.” Nevertheless, it is full of NRA Paradise juice.

Play politely.
