Be polite to your neighbors.

Sanford (Maine–ed.) police say 53-year-old Bruce Hunter of 10 Mousam St. left his house with a firearm, got into a verbal confrontation with neighbors and threatened to shoot them shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday. Another man beckoned Hunter to go back into the house and Hunter fired a shot, witnesses told police.

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

Politeness is slip-sliding away . . . .

Politeness is child’s play.

A six-year-old boy was airlifted to the USA Medical Center in Mobile with non-life threatening injuries after playing with a gun in Saucier.

(snip)

The six-year-old was playing with a gun he found in a dresser inside the home. When handing the gun to his older brother, the gun went off.

Thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.

Be polite to your elders.

Authorities say Edith Whitney, 88, was hit by a “projectile believed to be a bullet” outside her Spring Road home just before 8:30 p.m. Saturday. Friends and neighbors jumped in, giving Whitney first aid before she was brought to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Whitney Monday remained in critical condition.

Police say they have identified and interviewed suspects that were shooting guns in the area. They say the incident appears to be an accident and that the public is not in danger.

The hunt for politeness continues.

Officials at Boone County Sheriff’s Department said two people were squirrel hunting Sunday morning when they were separated. Officials said one person was shot by a third person also hunting in the area.

No doubt his bushy tail led attracted attention.

On a brighter side, the injury wasn’t serious, just stupid.

Practice random acts of politeness.

A bullet from a gun that discharged accidentally inside a home in Bryan passed through a wall and struck a passing driver Friday afternoon, leaving the 71-year-old man seriously injured.

The story goes on to say that the gun was being cleaned when it “accidentally” discharged. It left out the part about being too stupid to make sure the gun was unloaded while cle–never mind.

Aside:

Light bloggery today. I need a bit of a break. Watching a state fail is exhausting.

Plus, lightning took out one of my computers earlier this week, and the replacement arrived last night. I have a new toy.

Rear your children politely.

A 3-year-old boy woke up in his home early Tuesday morning, went to the garage, found a gun in a car and shot himself in the head by accident, police in southwest Missouri say.

Just another day in NRA Paradise.

Responsible gun owners go shopping too, you know.

Authorities say a customer (at an IKEA–ed.) sat down on a couch to test it and a gun became dislodged from his pants. He didn’t realize it and continued shopping.

Kids found the gun and one of them pulled the trigger, firing a single shot. No injuries were reported.

Guns and stupid, a marriage made in–well, somewhere.

Party politely.

It happened just before 5 p.m. in the 9000 block of North 247th near Mount Hope. One person was taken to the hospital. By 9 p.m., he had returned to the party, Sedgwick County Lt. Tim Myers said.

No alcohol was involved.

The men had placed some Tannerite (a brand of explosive target–ed.) in a wood cabinet and shot it, Myers said. The explosion caused the debris to hit the injured man.

The stupid. It burns.

Getting playful with his portable penis . . . .

Jamie McLaughlin, 31, is charged with attempted murder, felonious assault, three counts of abduction, assault, a gun charge, two counts of aggravated menacing and receiving stolen property.

His girlfriend, Mary Neace, 28, was seriously injured when she was shot in the torso. The trigger was pulled during what police had described as “amorous role-playing.”

The grand jury didn’t buy the playful part.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. More bullets than brains.

Get the drop on politeness.

Lee Co. Coroner Bill Harris tells News 3, it appears 19-year old Barry Anderson the third was shot and killed while he was playing with a gun and dropped it, causing it to discharge.

Practice politeness in a festive manner.

A 30-year-old man was transported by ambulance Friday night from Country Jam to St. Mary’s Medical Center after a self-inflicted shooting that is being investigated by law enforcement.

The shooting was an isolated incident, according to Mesa County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Megan Terlecky.

“We believe it was accidental, but we’re still investigating,” she said, noting that they are looking into how the gun came to be at the festival.

Really, they’re wondering how the gun got there? No doubt it purchased a ticket and walked in through the front gate.

Furrfu.

Seal your friendships with politeness.

Davenport and his friend, Joshua L. Wray, 26, were watching television together at the time of the shooting, according to Detective Ivory Sandefur of the North Vernon Police Department.

Wray was also manipulating* a Smith & Wesson handgun he had just purchased when the firearm accidentally fired and struck Davenport in the face, Richmond said.

The story goes on to say that authorities are not considering charges at this time, I reckon because the gun somehow mysteriously fired itself. Bad gun! Bad!

Exercise courtesy whilst employing your motorized conveyance.
