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?

Musical NotesGuns 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.

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.”

You may recall that Newport News, just on the other side of James River from where I sit, is where a first-grader shot his teacher. Now Newport News wants the teacher’s law suit to be dismissed. Here’s a bit from the article at Law and Crime:

Zwerner suffered life-threatening injuries and sued the school district and administrators earlier this month, alleging negligence and reckless disregard on the part of the school district.

On Wednesday, the school board asked that the lawsuit be dismissed.

The motion from the school district, which notes that Zwerner has so far refused to accept payment under Virginia’s Workers’ Compensation Act, argues that the Newport News Circuit Court doesn’t have jurisdiction over the case because being shot by a first-grader is, essentially, a risk that all teachers take.

It’s been a long time since I was a first-grader, but I’m pretty sure that none of my classmates came to school packing heat. Heck, for that matter, I can say that about my 12th-grade classmates. And my college and grad school classmates. And my co-workers in every job I ever had.

We are a broken society.

Maybe it’s just me, but I believe that person who is incapable of cleaning a gun safely should not be in possession of a gun.

Aside:

Apparently, based on what see in the news, it is just me.
