“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Politeness is essential to proper parenting.

A family, including the mother and the son, were climbing out of a pickup truck in a parking lot near the intersection of Shennum Drive and Palmer Wasilla Highway when the mother’s revolver fell out of its holster, according to Alaska State Trooper media reports.

The gun fell to the pavement hammer-first and discharged one round on impact, which went through the (four-year old–ed.) boy’s leg above the knee and lodged in the trim of a nearby building, according to the release.

Not only did this gun discharge itself all on its ownsome, it fell out of its holster without apparent human intervention. No one could have figured out how to keep the gun in its holster. Life is just funny that way; sometimes, a gun’s gotta do what a gun’s gotta do . . . .

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
