Be polite to your friends.

An Indiana teen was fatally shot while driving Tuesday after an assault-style rifle allegedly in the possession of the man seated behind her in the vehicle discharged, hitting her in the back.

The story goes on to report that this responsible gun owner has been charged.

Demonstrate politeness in reacting to a mishap on the nation’s byways.

Be polite while doing your business at the big box store.

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.

Yet another reminder that “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron:

“What we are dealing with are a couple of individuals that were recklessly, negligently shooting towards a roadway and they were shooting high powered weapons and we believe that weapon, due to their recklessness and negligence ended up discharging into the arm of a juvenile young man,” Kevin Daniels, Sanpete County Attorney, said.

According to the Sanpete Sheriff’s Office, the boy was in a vehicle traveling on U.S. Highway 89 just before 1:30 p.m. just north of Mount Pleasant when a bullet went through the windshield and hit his shoulder. He was transported to the Utah Valley Hospital where the bullet was removed. His wound was deemed non-life-threatening.

Packing heat is always such a good idea.

Neighborly politeness:

Officers say a man, around 20 years old, was in his apartment holding a gun. He told police it accidentally went off.

The bullet traveled through the wall and grazed his neighbor, a woman in her 60s, in another unit.

The man went over to check on the woman and stayed with her until officers arrived.

One more time, “accidentally” is not a synonym of “negligently.”

The hunt for politeness never ends.

According to New York State Police Troop D Spokesman Jack Keller, Joshua Morgan, from Newport, Herkimer County, was part of a deer hunting party in a wooded area north of NYS Route 5S in the Town of Frankfort, when he was accidentally shot by another member of his hunting party. Morgan was pronounced dead at the scene.

Was it his antlers or his fluffy white tail?

Aside:

Please note, I am not against hunting. I grew up with hunters, and I do like a bit of venison.

I’m against stupid.

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.

Politeness takes practice.

During the investigation, detectives said they determined that several family members were target practicing at the home with multiple weapons.

An incident report said (11-year-old Kylee Dawn–ed.) Woods’ father was attempting to unload a .40-caliber handgun, when it accidentally discharged, striking Woods, who was standing beside him.

The hunt for politeness continues with a brace of hunted hunters.

Words fail me.

Be polite to your siblings.

A 28-year-old Lowell man is in stable condition after accidentally being shot by his brother while hunting in Boston Township Saturday.

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.

A polite society is a clean society.

Even though she asked her doctor and family to keep the baby’s sex a secret and asked her mom to throw a gender reveal party for her, she still knew in her heart the life she was carrying was a little girl. Teresa was 21 weeks pregnant when she died, and she had already picked out a name for her daughter — Luna.

Teresa died Monday night in what police said was an accidental shooting, sparked when her boyfriend, 18-year-old Shawn Patrick Burse, was cleaning a loaded rifle beside her.

Politeness goes to the dogs.

The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office has identified the man as 31-year-old Richard Jordan of Chatfield. This happened last Friday around 6:30 p.m. during an argument between Jordan and his girlfriend. It took place inside his residence at the 13,000 Block of Highway 52 SE.

At one point, the woman said she fell to the ground. Deputies said the argument escalated, and the dog tried to protect the woman by nipping at Jordan.

Jordan then allegedly shot the family dog with a 12 gauge shotgun and left the scene. The dog was an 8-year-old pitbull lab mix.

A man is reported to have accidentally fired a round from his pistol on Monday in a Stillwater Walmart.

(snip)

(Police Capt. Kyle–ed.) Gibbs said the report indicates that an older man accidentally fired a round near the store’s jewelry department. The gun appears to have still been in his holster when the shot was fired.

“He said he’d dropped it earlier,” Gibbs said. “There is speculation that his jacket snagged the trigger.”

No one was injured and the man was asked to leave the store.

Do not let politeness go to waist.

The 25-year-old man told deputies he forgot he had a gun concealed in his waistband, and as he was changing clothes, the weapon dropped out of his waistband and onto the floor and discharged, striking him in the foot, sheriff’s officials said.

Practice brotherly politeness.

At around 7 p.m. officers were called to the Colorado Springs Fire Department Station 8 for an adult female who had arrived there with a gunshot wound to her foot, according to the police report.

Officers learned that the woman was home when her brother was allegedly cleaning his handgun and accidentally shot her.

Putting the “P” in politeness.

(Sorry, couldn’t resist.)
