The hunt for politeness goes on.

“At 5:54 pm officers responded to county road 7741 to a report of a man being shot,” said Troy Police Chief Randall Barr. “When officers arrived, they found a 61-year-old male who had been shot one time in the chest with a high-powered rifle. The initial investigation revealed that the two men were hunting together when one mistakenly identified the other as a deer.”

The jury is still out as to whether it was his antlers or his little fluffy tail that led to the mistaken identity.

Aside:

Perhaps if he had had a gun, this wouldn’t have happen–oh, wait!

Exercise courtesy whilst traversing the nation’s highways.

The driver of a school bus with one student aboard was shot while behind the wheel in an apparent road rage incident Tuesday south of downtown Minneapolis and the suspected gunman was quickly arrested, authorities said.

Aside:

Dollar to a doughnut someone proposes arming school bus drivers.

Be polite during the utilization of your backyard recreational center.

And, yes, it was in Florida.

Children should be polite to their parents.

A Skyway mother, who is eight-months pregnant, is in the hospital after her 3-year-old son accidentally shot her in the face. The boy’s fourth birthday is Sunday.

(Sgt. Ryan Abbott of the King County, Washington, Sheriff’s Office–ed.) Abbott said the boyfriend – and father of the child – told deputies he had just moved the gun from a higher location and placed the loaded gun between the mattress and the box spring Friday night, after hearing some noises outside their home.

“He (the child) found a handgun that was unsecured there and he grabbed it, and before anyone knew what happened, heard a pop sound. And the mom was shot on her face area,” Abbott said.

Will Bunch is considers the continuing cascade of mass shootings. A nugget:

And here’s one more thing I don’t get. The way these shootings are all happening — the almost robotic similarity of these young and male and alienated and isolated killers, the recurring links to domestic violence or repressed sexuality and the large number of female victims, and the fact that these killings happen in everyday locales like a bank or a motel bar — scream out one word to me.

Terrorism.

Expose your children to politeness at an early age.

A 3-year-old in Wayne County is recovering after being shot in the head.

According to a GoFundMe, Jaxson Price is alert and able to participate physical therapy.

Price was found with a gunshot wound to the head at his home on Saturday.

It appears that he accidentally shot himself while in his parents’ room.

Politeness is a family value.

Visit politely.

The Kansas City Star reports that the shooting happened Friday night while the teen was visiting a Smithville home with several other people. Police say the teen was handling a handgun when it fired. . . . But the teen was pronounced dead a short time later. His name wasn’t immediately released.

And another gun that fired itself . . . .

Say it with politeness.

A Florida man has been accused of forcing a handgun into the mouth of a woman who had complained that he talked too much during a television show.

(snip)

Police said the woman entered the bedroom to get a blanket when she claimed to have heard the sound of a firearm being racked. She accused the man of trying to intimidate her.

According to the arrest affidavit, the man pushed the woman to the ground and put the barrel of a 9mm handgun into her mouth. He allegedly said: “You want to see intimidation?”

More guns no doubt would have prevented this.

He didn’t know the gun was loaded.

Thus passeth another day in the NRA’s Garden of Eden.

Fun in the food court.

The accidental shooting happened in the food court of the Southlake Mall in Morrow (Ga.–ed.). Police initially believed the gun owner was standing up from eating when the gun fired from the waist area. They said the bullet ricocheted off the tile floor, fragmented and hit two people.

But less than an hour later, Morrow Police Chief James Callaway said while the shooting is still considered accidental, the gun owner may still be considered a suspect because he left the scene.

An update from the hunt for politeness:

Three men from California were hunting near High Point and Blanchard Road, according to Reno County Sheriff’s Captain Steve Lutz. One man’s shotgun fired and struck him in the heel of his foot.

Be polite to your mother, NRA style.

Deputies said the mother and her three kids were sitting in a Honda when her son, who is under the age of 5, got a hold of the shotgun. That mother was rushed to the hospital and is listed in stable condition.

The story reports that “a man has been arrested,” but does not specify why.

I’m guessing negligence of some sort.

Politeness is a gas.

Be polite to our four-legged friends.

The Polk County (N. C.–ed.) Sheriff’s Office is searching for someone who intentionally shot a prized show horse through the heart.

(snip)

It’s not deer season, so that rules out a mistake. Also, the horse was far from the road, so the shooter had to come onto private property to fire the fatal shot.

The filly was shot at close range, killed with a single .22-caliber bullet to the heart.

Show off your politeness.

Valdez’s son, Gabriel “Gabe” Fernandez, is among at least six children in the Houston area who have died by gunfire in the last three weeks. Police attributed three of those deaths to accidental gunfire.

A gun her son’s best friend was showing off accidentally fired and fatally struck him in the head, Valdez said. The shooting happened around 1:30 p.m. Saturday while Gabriel and his 15-year-old brother, Nicholas, were visiting the friend a street over.

Just another day in NRA Paradise.

Politeness is the pits.

Greer, his son and a friend were off Strahan Road squirrel hunting with a new dog Greer got for his son. Greer was retrieving a squirrel and had his 12-gauge shotgun in his hand with the butt on the ground when it somehow discharged, striking him under the right armpit.

Back when I learned hunting safety from the NRA in the olden days, when it was a hunting society and not a marketing tool of the merchants of death, I was taught never to point the gun at myself or others for the love of God.

Get a leg up on politeness.

“It was definitely accidental,” (Police Lt. Christopher–ed.) Giuliani said. “He was on the range and was holstering his gun when it went off and shot him in the leg.”

Aside:

Clearly, this fellow is competent to pack heat.

Also, pigs, wings.

Again, politeness is child’s play.

Houston police say a 9-year-old child was fatally shot by a 9-year-old cousin while playing with a gun the children found in a local apartment.

Thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.
