Just another day at work. . . .

The hunt for politeness intensifies.

When sheriff’s deputies arrived to the scene off CR 500 E. in Middletown, they found Stratton lying on the ground suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper right thigh. EMS treated him at the scene before he was transported to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Indianapolis.

Conservation officers have determined that Stratton’s 12-gauge shotgun had accidentally discharged as he attempted to grab the soft case it was in, which was hanging from a branch next to his ladder stand. DNR says the gun was pointed towards Stratton and the safety was off.

This is why you don’t load the gun until you are ready to use it, for Pete’s sake.

Now, about those IQ tests for hunting licenses . . . .

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

The hunt for politeness continues apace.

According to Oneida County Sheriff Robert Maciol, Darwin Cooley, 50, Carthage, at around 9:30 a.m. Thursday was hunting with his brother-in-law Travis Dam. 42, Whitesboro, in an area north of the village of Whitesboro when Mr. Cooley shot at a deer that ran between the two of them and the bullet grazed the side of Mr. Dam’s head.

The stupid.

It burns.

Park the politeness.

A 19-year-old man is hospitalized with what authorities call life-threatening injuries after being accidentally shot while sitting in a car outside a mall in the central Missouri town of Columbia.

According to the story, he or his friend–which one is unclear–was trying to holster a gun when the fellow got shot. Had it been a two-gun holster, no doubt the this would not have happened, as, in NRA Paradise, more guns is the solution to life, the universe, and everything.

A Chautauqua County woman is dead after a hunter accidentally shot her Wednesday evening while walking her dogs, according to the sheriff’s office.

Deputies say the hunter believed he saw a deer in a field, near Armenian Road in the Town of Sherman, and fired a shot.

The man told deputies that he heard a scream and immediately went over the the area.

Because hunters have long relied on the strategy of waylaying deer who are walking their dogs . . . .

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

Practice politeness at home.

Authorities in southwestern Ohio say the shooting death of a 19-year-old man appears to be an accident.

Officials say a preliminary investigation indicates the man accidentally shot himself on Saturday at a home in West Chester Township, north of Cincinnati. Police were called to the home that night.

Politeness is child’s play.

The Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Office says it received a 911 call about the shooting from a home in Deer Creek around 7:30 a.m. Sunday. The caller reported a 5-year-old had caused the accidental gunshot wound.

The 3-year-old was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital before being sent to a Minneapolis hospital. Authorities say the victim is stable.

If the victim had been packing, perhaps he or she could have returned fire . . . .

Be polite to your fellow congregants.

The Tellico Plains Police Department says elder members of First United Methodist Church were meeting for a Thanksgiving dinner around 1 p.m. and began discussing the Texas shooting when someone asked if anyone brought a gun to their church.

A man spoke up and said he carries his everywhere he goes. He pulled the gun out, emptied the magazine and chamber, and then started passing the gun around.

Once the gun came back around to its owner, police say the man put the magazine back in and recharged the chamber, but accidentally squeezed the trigger. The gun went off, hitting himself in the hand and his wife in the abdomen.

Had more persons at the meeting been packing, no doubt this would not have happened.

The hunt for politeness goes on.

As the woman was driving her vehicle scouting for deer, she drove over a bump in the road. The gun discharged and she was struck in the foot. Her husband was a passenger in the vehicle and was not injured. GF&P declined to release the name of the injured woman.

Whatever happened to “unload your weapon white transporting it”?

Be polite at the dining table.

An incident report said police responded to the North Cedar Street restaurant just before 3 p.m. and found Cynthia Smith, 57, of Goose Creek, laying on a bench after being shot in the buttocks.

Smith, a retired S.C. Probation and Parole officer, had a gun stored in her purse without a holster, and when she moved the purse, the gun went off, injuring herself and Jacqueline Duchene, 48, of Goose Creek. Duchene was shot in the leg.

Get a drop on politeness.

When they arrived, they found a 42-year-old man with a single gunshot wound to his calf. His 36-year-old spouse was also at home.

The man told police his friend dropped a handgun that discharged and struck his leg then left when 911 was called.

The hunt for politeness continues.

Corwin M. Johnson, of Aurora, Minn., was in the (deer)stand near the 5800 block of Stepetz Road 53 in White Township, about 5 miles southwest of his hometown, when someone from the teen’s hunting party found him dead late Saturday afternoon, according to the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office.

Does no one teach hunting safety any more?
