They never know that the gun was loaded, do they?

If rule one of using a gun is don’t allow the gun to point at any living creature you don’t plan to shoot, rule two is to consider every gun loaded until you know positively it is not.

One more time, “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.

Be polite to your escort.

“Creel was being escorted out of the business (a bar–ed.) by a single employee,” Anderson said. “Once removed, Creel fired one shot in the vicinity of the employee. No patrons were in the area at the time of the incident.”

In a rather unusual twist, the politeness practitioner is in custody.

Politeness still takes practice.

When officers arrived on scene, they found a 22-year-old female with a superficial gunshot wound to the head. The victim was transported to the hospital and later released.

Investigators discovered that a neighbor, Horia Ciprian Dugala, 56, had been target shooting in his yard in the direction of the victim and three other individuals, one of which was a three-year-old child.

Dugala was charged with four counts of wanton endangerment and tampering with physical evidence.

And, in more news of the polite . . . .

Read about the effects of all that politeness A snippet–much more at the link.

The South Carolina State Fair closed early Saturday night and some patrons suffered bumps, scrapes and bruises amid panic caused by reports of gunfire.

“No shots were fired on the fairgrounds and, fortunately, no serious injuries occurred,” according to a statement from South Carolina State Fair general manager Nancy Smith.

Just another day in NRA paradise.

Some persons are driven to be polite.

The NRA will no doubt argue that, had this two-year-old been packing, he could have prevented this.

Politeness takes practice (emphasis added).

The manager told WAAY 31 an older customer was using one of the ranges Friday morning when he accidentally shot himself in the hand. She said Bullet and Barrel has Range Safety Officers in the bays at all times in case of an emergency, and everyone must obey and sign the rules and regulations list.

On the list, it says to treat all guns as if they are loaded, always point guns in a safe direction and keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to shoot.

The cite from the aforementioned list is pretty basic gun safety stuff that I learned at my Daddy’s knee. It’s also hardly rocket science. Hell, it’s hardly Gilbert chemistry set science.

I reckon he failed to read and comprehend the list before he signed it. . . .

The hunt for politeness continues . . . .

MDIFW spokesperson Matt Latti said in a statement released Wednesday that the Franklin County Regional Communications Center took a call from Mark Henderson, 57 of Eustis, at 5:56 p.m. Tuesday evening. Henderson told dispatchers that he had unintentionally shot himself in the lower left leg while bird hunting on a remote logging road near the northwest shore of Flagstaff Lake in Flagstaff Township.

By the time rescuers got to him, he was too far gone to survive.

Be polite to your neighbors.

After interviewing witnesses, police determined that the man had been upset by his upstairs neighbors making too much noise around midnight. He attempted to confront them directly, to no effect.

Phoenix police sergeant Vince Lewis told KTAR that the man “had banged on the (neighbors’) door, yelling at them, trying to make contact during this argument.” He then headed back downstairs and allegedly retrieved a handgun from his apartment.

Police say that he then pointed the gun upwards towards his ceiling and discharged several shots, the last of which somehow wound up striking him in the face. No other people were injured in the incident.

They raise their firearms, carefully taking aim; they caress the triggers lovingly and let fly the cartridges.

They strike their targets, who drop lifelessly.

“Oh, no,” they cry, “I did not intend to do that regardless of how it might have looked. It was an accident.”

“That’s okay,” replies Mr. Enforcer. “As you are a member of the Fraternity of the Fair-Skinned, I must take you at your word.

“Oh, and before you go, have a cookie.”

Celebrate your birthday, politely.

A Florida man shot and killed his son-in-law after the victim jumped out of the bushes to surprise him for his birthday.

Richard Dennis opened fire on Christopher Bergan, 37, outside his house in Pensacola on Tuesday night in what police described as a ‘horrible accident’.

Afterthought:

One more time, “accident” and “negligence” are not synonyms.

This man took a life because he is a fearful little twerp whose NRA appendage makes him feel like a Real Big Man.
