Is it polite to give a trigger warning?

The man told police he had just gotten into his vehicle when the incident happened. He stated he attempted to remove his weapon and holster from his pocket when his finger accidentally engaged the trigger, causing the gun to go off. His adult son, who was nearby, heard the shot and provided medical aid until medics arrived to the scene.

Politeness will give you a leg up in this world. Or something.

A 32-year-old Walton County man didn’t break any laws Saturday when he shot his lawn mower filled with an explosive, but he did lose his leg below the knee, the sheriff’s office said.

About 3:50 p.m., David Presley of Monroe shot an old lawn mower loaded with three pounds of Tannerite, according to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office. The lawn mower exploded.

Bet he takes up drones for his next hobby.

Politeness is essential to a smoothly-functioning team.

Pratt, a receiver, and Scott Boyett, 23, an offensive tackle from Dania, Fla., have separate apartments at an off-campus house in the 500 block of Rentschler Street.

About 3 a.m., Pratt entered Boyett’s apartment without knocking or announcing himself.

Boyett shot Pratt because he thought he was a burglar.

No charges were filed because what’s a little mistake between teammates.

Gun sense, indeed:

A gun-loving social media activist was shot and wounded Tuesday by her 4-year-old son while driving.

Investigators said Jamie Gilt was driving a four-door pickup truck hauling a horse trailer about 3 p.m. when the boy somehow managed to gain access to a .45-caliber handgun and shoot her from the back seat, reported the Florida Times-Union.

(snip)

The woman apparently maintains a Facebook page called “Jamie Gilt for Gun Sense,” which has been deluged with critical messages since her accidental shooting.

I reckon that the moral of the story is, “Don’t let your offspring find your ammosex toy.”
