Exercise your right to politeness in the great outdoors.

Investigators believe Glenn Martin was shot by accident while camping in the Rainbow Falls Park area of the Pike National Forest on Friday, but they say they haven’t ruled anything out yet.

They’re asking anyone who was shooting a high-powered rifle in the area or anyone who noticed someone doing so to contact the sheriff’s office. Sgt. Ron Hanavan says shooting is not allowed in the area where Martin was struck.

Inter-generational politeness in NRA Paradise:

Yesterday afternoon, deputies say the child was put down for a nap in the master bedroom at his grandparent’s home on Puget Lane off Ella Boulevard in northwest Harris County. They say the child got a hold of an automatic pistol that was left on the night stand and shot himself in the head.

He is currently in critical condition. The story makes no mention of whether or not charges for negligent whatever that was will be filed.

Celebrate politely.

Authorities are trying to determine where a bullet came from that wounded a woman inside Kennywood Park Saturday night, but they believe it was fired outside the West Mifflin park.

Police said the investigation is leading authorities to believe the shot was fired from outside the park, wounding the woman. “One possibility being investigated is that the shot was fired from a nearby area as part of a Fourth of July celebration,” the news release reads.

An armed society is a clean society.

A Puyallup man accidentally shot his girlfried in the abdomen Friday night while preparing to clean his gun, according to police.

The boyfriend, 21, told officers he was getting ready to clean his semi-automatic pistol when it went off at about 10 p.m., accidentally shooting his 22-year-old girlfriend.

One wonders for what reason the gun just decided to go off?

Politeness is essential to a strong family structure.

According to a news release from Hampton Police, 4-year-old Chris L. Palmer got hold of a loaded gun inside a home on Chamberlin Avenue around 9:30 p.m. and accidentally shot himself. Police say the gun was in a bedroom.

The step-father has been charged with felony child neglect. Follow the link and form your own conclusions about what might just possibly maybe distinguish between “felony child neglect” and “tragic accident.”

Just another day in NRA Paradise . . . .

While vacationing with his family in Alaska, Northern Arizona football player Michael DeGroote died after supposedly shooting himself with a gun by accident. His family was vacationing at Denali National Park and Preserve and he was said to have shot himself on Tuesday. It’s not yet known if it was accidental or not Park spokeswoman Kathleen Kelly said, as the park investigates the matter.

The family is steadfast in saying it was accidental, as the AP reports.

Hey! Accidents happen.

An accident with a firearm claimed the life of 4-year-old Summer Miller of St. Marie on the morning of June 27 around 10 a.m., according to Valley County Sheriff Glen Meier. The fatality was instantaneous.

The story does not say what happened, only that it was just one of those things, just one of those crazy things that happens in NRA Paradise.

Politeness is a family affair.

The Trigg County Sheriffs Department said Sunday a 19-year-old was charged after a 5-year-old shot his 4-year-old sister.

Authorities said the 5-year-old got his hands on a .22 caliber revolver that was left loaded and unattended in a home.

Had the little girl had been packing, she would no doubt have been able to defend herself.

After all, a BB gun is just a toy. What could possibly go wrong?

Politeness is a family affair.

A police report indicates that the 15-year-old was frantically saying “Uncle, I’m sorry!” to the victim while at the scene. He was reportedly playing with a gun and accidentally shot the 18-year-old.

Politeness takes practice.

I just got it!
