The polite are always loaded.

According to police, the man was cleaning his loaded shotgun around 7:45 p.m. when it discharged. The shotgun pellets hit the man’s son in the stomach.

Now, about those IQ tests for gun ownersh–oh, never mind.

Aside:

I have cleaned many guns in my time; the raw unvarnished stupidity of cleaning a loaded gun leaves me flat speechless.

The polite practice family togetherness:

The father was apparently cleaning a handgun when it discharged. The bullet went through the father’s hand, struck the 11-year-old sitting on a couch, and struck the mother in the elbow.

The child did not survive.

Yet another gun nut too stupid to unload a gun before cleaning it.

Do not allow politeness to take a back seat to anything.

A 4-year-old Indiana girl accidentally shot her father from the back seat of the family’s car, and it’s the dad who faces felony charges, prosecutors said Sunday.

. . . Paulson was shot Jan. 31 when his daughter, who wasn’t in a child restraint seat, pulled the loaded .40 caliber Smith & Wesson handgun from the pocket of her dad’s overalls, according to a probable cause affidavit, prosecutors said. It went off and hit Paulson in his upper right arm.

Another child is given the opportunity to exercise politeness.

Police say the 10-year-old daughter of a California sheriff’s lieutenant shot her younger sister with their father’s gun in an apparent accident. . . .

Gomez tells the Fresno Bee that the girls’ father was getting ready for work and had removed the magazine on his handgun before leaving it on a bed while he got ready for work.

He says the 10-year-old grabbed the gun and discharged a bullet left in the chamber hitting the younger girl.

In related news of the polite, gun nut claims that being required to unload his gun near schools infringes on his right to be polite.

Afterthought:

I suspect my two or three regular readers find these report on the courteous to be tiresome.

I find the ammosexual carnage tiresome.

Pennsylvania township goes full-on ammosexual (warning: rudeness).

Allow children the opportunity to be polite.

A subsequent investigation indicated the girl’s father had been cleaning his guns in the living room that day and left them out when he went to work. When the mother returned home later in the day with her three children, the 3-year-old accidentally shot herself while handling one of the guns, investigators said.

All roads lead to politeness.

The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a possible case of road rage where a hit and run driver left the scene of an accident after pulling a gun on another driver. . . .

Evaristo Castaneda, the driver of the car who was hit, told troopers when he approached the other driver the man pulled a dark, silver-colored handgun. Castaneda says the driver then drove off and headed south on I-75.

Get a leg up on politeness.

Tulsa Police say a woman is recovering from a wound to her upper leg after a handgun accidentally discharged early Tuesday.

(snip)

When questioned, police said the victim and a man were handling the gun when it discharged.

Demonstrate your politeness to your neighbors.

On Saturday, February 7, 2015, at about 5:30pm, the Sparta Police Department responded to an apartment on the 700 block of Birdie Court as a resident reported coming home and discovering a bullet hole in the ceiling and damage to personal property inside the apartment. . . . .

Officers spoke to 25-year-old Mark Hayes, of Sparta, who stated he was handling a pistol when he accidentally discharged the firearm. Luckily, the victim was not home at the time the shooting occurred and no one was injured.

This story is notable in that the gun was not reported to have fired itself.

Exercise courtesy on the roadways.

A driver was stopped behind a BMW at a red light on Rainier Avenue South and South McClellan Street just before 11 a.m. Friday, police reports say. When the light turned green, the BMW did not move, so the driver behind the car honked the horn. Instead of resuming driving, the BMW driver leaned out the car window and pointed a handgun at the honker.

Bimmer Boy is in custody.

Politeness is de rigeur at the club.

An 80-year-old man was taken to hospital in serious condition after he was accidentally shot in the arm at the Hamilton Gun Club.

(snip)

George said she doesn’t know specific details about what happened.

“It was just a simple accident, the gentleman’s gun jammed and then discharged,” she said.

I thought a gun that was “jammed” was unable to fire itself. In my world, that’s what “jammed” means.

Another case of self-politeness . . .

A 15-year-old was killed in Deer Lodge after accidentally shooting himself with a gun.

(snip)

He said Littell was at his home with family on Perkins Trail, near the Fentress county line, when he pulled a gun out of a safe. It went off and he was shot once, killing him.

. . . and another gun that fires itself.

Be polite when you are loaded.

Detectives looking into the incident reported that Huber was showing his Romania .762X39 mm AK-47 rifle to a friend. Huber handed the rifle to his friend, who believing the rifle was not loaded, pulled the trigger firing the rifle striking Huber.

Politeness is essential in the retail industry.

A sporting goods store employee was injured Sunday in an accidental shooting inside the store.

(snip)

Bruce R. Foote, 43, of Mebane, was on the floor when police arrived, suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper left leg. The incident occurred in the hunting goods area, where the store’s firearms are displayed. Police determined the round came from Foote’s own handgun, which he is licensed to carry, a release said Sunday night.

Yet more youthful politeness:

A 4-year-old boy accidentally shot his uncle in the stomach after finding a gun on the floor of a house, Milwaukee police said Friday.

The gun nut says he put the gun on the floor as he was preparing for a trip to the range.

When I was in high school, back before the NRA went from a hunting safety association to a gun marketing outfit, I think I remember this from one of the gun safety classes the local NRA taught during PE:

Step One: Retrieve gun from gun rack.
Step Two: Put gun on floor.
Step Three: ???????
Step Four: Freedom.

Then again, maybe not.

Be polite when you are with a patrolman:

As Officer Diaz approached the vehicle the driver began frantically waving his hands and arms at him.

According to the police report, upon approaching the vehicle, Officer Diaz learned the driver, Brandon Lee McCraw, 20, of 6402 E. NC Hwy. 108 in Mill Spring, had removed a firearm from a holster at his side to place on the seat and intended to advise the officer of his possession of a firearm.

In the process of removing the weapon from its holster, McCraw shot himself in the hip with one round, with an exit wound in the thigh.

Southern Beale.

It is comforting to know that our young are being taught politeness at an early age.

Authorities say a 3-year-old boy got ahold of a handgun from his mother’s purse and fired just one shot that wounded both his parents.

Albuquerque police say the toddler apparently reached for an iPod but found the loaded weapon.

More guns in the purse no doubt would have prevented this.
