Honor thy father and thy mother with thy politeness.

A Mississippi woman was severely injured on Tuesday after her son accidentally shot her in the face.

WDAM reported that Richard Lawrence told officers he was sitting in his truck showing his mother his new .38 caliber pistol when the gun mistakenly discharged, shooting the woman in the face.

Thus passeth another day
in the garden of the NRA.

Be polite at graduation ceremonies and other solemn occasions.

Two people were hurt, one seriously, in an accidental shooting at Augusta High School’s graduation ceremony. The Butler County (Kansas–ed.) Sheriff’s Office says the gun was accidentally discharged at the district’s outdoor stadium, Hillier Stadium, where commencement was being held.

A witness to the incident says a man’s concealed firearm sounded and he was injured with a wound to the foot. The man was reported to have driven himself to the Kansas Medical Center in Augusta.

The NRA’s “guns everywhere” fetish is working out so very nicely, is it not?

Afterthought:

At least the moron had the good grace to shoot his own damn foot.

Part One:

Part Two:

Settle disputes politely.

A woman fired a gun at a man during a dispute Saturday morning, sending him to the hospital, police said.

Police arrested the woman, identified as 46-year-old Dawn Iverson, of Martinez, on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. According to police, Iverson shot the gun while trying to help her fiance and hit a man in the torso.

Treat children politely.

After a 4-year-old was shot and killed in a Philadelphia home, the boyfriend of the girl’s mother turned himself in, saying it was an accident.

At first, police thought the girl’s 5-year-old sibling had shot her with the man’s semi-automatic handgun until the mother’s boyfriend confessed Saturday night.

It’s just another routine school day in NRA paradise.

A student told the Greenville News he saw two other students who appeared to be playing with a gun and then heard a shot and saw one of the students get up holding his bloody stomach.

One more time, politeness is child’s play.

The girl, who was with two younger children, was playing with the weapon when it discharged about midnight, according to police. She was fatally wounded.

Her grandmother, who was cooking downstairs at the time of the shooting, was later questioned by police and released, said Detroit Police Officer Jennifer Moreno. The investigation into the tragedy continues and no charges have been filed.

Politeness is a moving experience.

When officers got to the home, the man told them he was moving a pistol when he accidentally pressed the trigger. . . .

The man was taken to the hospital to get treatment for his leg.

Young guns.

According to reports obtained by the station, a 2-year-old was able to access a pistol in her home. Officials say she accidentally shot herself. WTVF reports she was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with non life-threatening injuries. The station reports she was listed in stable condition.

Just another day in NRA Paradise.

The hunt for politeness is never-ending.

A 10-year-old has been shot in the foot in a duck shooting incident near New Plymouth, the third today, on the first day of the duck hunting season.

Earlier, a 55-year-old man was hit in the eye in the Tararua District, and a man in his 30s was shot in the wrist near Ashburton.

The cause of the incidents isn’t yet clear.

I beg to differ. The cause of the incidents is very clear. The details of each incident may not be clear, but the cause of all, regardless of the details, is negligence.

Play politely.

A probable cause report released Friday says a witness saw the 17-year-old “playing” with a gun and pointing it at the girl. The witness heard the girl “playfully” say she was not afraid of the boy shortly before the first shot was fired.

Deputies found the girl with a single gunshot wound. Medics declared her dead at the scene.

Had the girl been packing, no doubt this would not have happened.

A polite society is a clean society.

A man accidentally shot himself in the foot on Sunday afternoon in Murfreesboro. A woman who was in the home at the time of the accidental shooting told police that she was in the kitchen when the 37 year old victim shot himself while cleaning his Mossberg shotgun.

I had a Mossberg five-shot bolt-action .22 rifle when I was younger. I once used it to pick a crow out of a tree at 150 yards.

I grew up on a farm. Crows were the enemy. Live with it.

Somehow, I managed not to shoot myself with it, because I’m not too stupid to own a gun.

It’s showtime for politeness!

The 63 year old man left his loaded gun in the car when he went inside the (gun–ed.) show because loaded weapons are forbidden.

Sgt. Dean Carriger of the Sandy Police Department told us, “Following the gun shot he returned to his car and he retrieved his weapon and was re-holstering it prior to leaving. At which time he accidentally discharged the weapon, which is a 40 caliber pistol, shooting himself in the right thigh.”

Get a good deal on politeness when you shop.

Gonzales Police said the incident happened around 4:30 p.m. Thursday. According to police, an employee was showing a .22 caliber handgun to a customer when the gun discharged shooting him in the hand.

The bullet reportedly passed through the employee’s hand before hitting the floor.

Be polite to your luncheon companions.

Police say two employees, a 28-year-old man and a 34-year-old man, were on their lunch break sitting in a vehicle looking a guns owned by the younger man when one of them apparently accidentally discharged. The older man was shot in the leg by the 28-year-old man. He was taken to an area hospital for treatment of his injuries.

Politeness is child’s play.

A 3 year-old boy is dead after accidentally shooting himself in the chest at his home in Paulding County Tuesday morning.

It happened around 7 a.m. at a home on Camp Circle in Dallas. Holston Cole was taken to Paulding-Wellstar hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Detectives said the shooting was an accident but don’t know how the toddler got the gun.

It’s not going to stop, you know.

Exercise politeness on the public thoroughfare.

The mother, 26-year-old Patrice Price, was driving a car belonging to her security guard boyfriend on Interstate 41/U.S. 175 southbound and was shot around 10:30 a.m., the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

“Initial witness accounts indicate that a child in the back seat of the vehicle got a hold of a gun and discharged the firearm, sending a single bullet into the drivers back,” the sheriff’s office said.

First responders arrived on the scene soon after the shooting and found her without a pulse and breathless. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

More guns would, no doubt, have prevented this.

Politeness toddles along.

A toddler has accidentally shot and killed himself in Georgia.

Police in Paulding County are investigating after a three-year-old got hold of a gun and it went off, killing him.

Thus passeth another day in NRA paradise.

Holster that sidearm, pardner.

Officers were called to the 1700 block of American Canyon Road at 2:45 p.m. There, a man apparently was trying to holster his gun when the firearm went off, wounding him in the right thigh, according to Sgt. Doug Pace.
