Another “responsible gun owner” shoots first, gets questioned later.

Upon investigating the incident, detectives say that several juveniles were playing hide and seek in the area and were hiding on the neighbor’s property.

Detectives spoke to David V. Doyle, the owner of the property. The 58-year-old told authorities that he saw shadows outside his home, went inside and got his firearm.

Detectives say Doyle told them that when he went back outside he saw people running away from his property and began shooting at them, unknowingly (!!!!–ed.) hitting the girl.

We are a society of stupid.

Once again, a “responsible gun owner” proves that said phrase is an oxymoron.

In a post related to this topic, Grung_e_Gene argues most cynically that Republicans have no interest in stemming the flow of blood. One dares to hope that he is, as my old boss used say, in error.

Aside:

Recently, on an episode of the Bob Cesca Show–I can’t remember just which one–Buzz Burbank said that skepticism is good and cynicism, well, not so much. I’m not sure I buy all of Gene’s reasoning, but, sometimes, cynicism does seem to be called for.

And again:

According to officers, a 54-year-old man from Fishers was turkey hunting when he misidentified two other hunters.

Jeffery McClintic, 31 of Indianapolis, and Scott Poynter, 34, of Danville received non-life threatening injuries when the man shot in their direction, officers said.

This may come as a surprise to oxymoronic “responsible gun owners,” but turkeys and humans do not look alike.

Furrfu.

Another “responsible gun owner” shows politeness to children.

And another “responsible gun owner” performs a random act of politeness . . . .

The hunt for politeness continues.

According to deputies, the hunter was shot by a member of his hunter party after being misidentified as a turkey.

The victim, a 54-year-old man from Arden Hills, was hurt but expected to survive.

One wonders, was it the tail feathers or the gobble-gobble?

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

Be polite when you are required to avail yourself of the pavilion of necessity go potty.

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

At Above the Law, Tahmina Watson describes what it is like to suddenly find yourself in all innocence caught up in an active shooter lockdown.

Yet another case of familial politeness.

Yet another random act of politeness.

Yet another child learns about emergency rooms.

Yet another sign that we are a failing society.

Yet another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” fails to ensure that his weapon is empty before “cleaning” it.

Aside:

I have become convinced that, in gun nut world, “clean” is code for “fondle.”

Show politeness to our animal friends.

Remington said that the horse was shot around 10:40 p.m. Saturday. He believes the shooter targeted the horse with a pistol.

“Somebody pulled up on the side of the road and shot him,” he said. “I’d love to ask them ‘What in the world were they thinking?’ and then let them go to jail for it.”

Yet another “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron. Yet another child learns about hospitals.

Another case of neighborly politeness.
