It is so ridiculous that someone can shoot themselves, seriously. I have touched a gun a total of three times in my life (1 handgun, 1 shotgun, 1 rifle) and know ZERO about gun safety, but I know to keep the damn thing pointed towards the ground away from all limbs and people.

Let's see...in a night club..carrying a piece..in NY...not the brightest bulb apparently. Isn't carrying a weapon illegal in NY? Authorities should have a piece of him...too bad for Giants. Hopefully, they won't need him

the police haven't questioned him as yet-no doubt they have bigger fish to fry.
he only broke the law if he didn't have a concealed carry permit.

people often make the mistake of thinking a gun cannot fire if the safety is on. that's untrue, the safety only keeps the trigger from being pulled.

he has a permit to carry but does he have a permit to actually shoot himself?

I believe it is much harder to get the concealed weapon permit in New York. It takes a lot longer than most states.They do more comprehensive background checks and you must have a legitimate reason for wanting (needing) the permit. A family member just recieved their permit in NY, it took about 7 months, in PA it takes about 1-2 weeks.

Here's an update. He did not have a permit, and Antonio Pierce is alleged to have taken the weapon and hid it somewhere in Jersey. The Post has a similar version of the story, except in their's, Plax was emptying the bullets out of his gun when it accidently went off.

I was totally oblivious to this story until right now. What a spook. Really. I rarely get like this, but when it's necessary, its necessary. I thought he was doing his usual self all week, not practicing. This is actually funny.

I'm hungover today, but the $44 dollar bottle of Jack will do that from time to time.

I'm guessing Burress is done for he season and unless he shows some real remorse his days as a Giants might be over. As far as Pierce goes, he just showed some bad judgement. It looks like he is willing to spill his guts so he can play. I'm guessing (hoping) that he will be just fined.
