Plaxico Burress Shot Himself In The Leg, (Could Face Jail Time)
Giants receiver Plaxico Burress sustained a gunshot wound to the leg, possibly self-inflicted, on Friday night, according to several Web sites, each using unnamed sources. Foxsports.com was the first to report the incident, saying that Burress had spent the night in a hospital but that the injury was not considered life-threatening.
Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports, who co-wrote a book with Burress this year, reported that the bullet “grazed” a leg, and that the injury might keep Burress out of action for two weeks.

Don’t guns have a safety mechanism to prevent this?
Update:
Nearly three days after accidentally shooting himself in the thigh at a Manhattan nightclub, Giants receiver Plaxico Burress turned himself in at a New York City police precinct in midtown Manhattan on Monday morning to face charges of criminal possession of a handgun. His lawyer, Benjamin Branfman, emerged moments later and said Mr. Burress would “deal with the legal process in a responsible and professional manner.”

“Don’t guns have a safety mechanism to prevent this?”
RTNY was that supposed to be a jab? or you’re just a dumbass? maybe he forgot to put the safety on, maybe he didn’t and the gun jus went off accidentally

this is what I wrote on my blog… http://www.praverb.net
“Chad should learn something from Plaxico Burress haha accidentally shoot yourself in the thigh. Not only will you gain street credibility but you will be the laughingstock of the NFL. When I read the headlines this morning I reverted back to when Sean Taylor was shot. I was like wow people these days do not care about another man/woman’s life but then a headline stated that Plax accidentally shot himself and I am thinking wow “that is not gangsta.” I do not have any idea of what led to the accidentally shooting but I could not help but picture Plax as Mr. Bean shooting himself hahahahaha. GET WELL SOON Plaxico”

sig sauers have no safety. most other manufacturers do. guns are like anything else. they are perfectly safe if you handle them responsibly,
the key word is “responsibly”.

What club was he at? how did he get it in thru security? stick up kids don’t get in the real industry spots where they don’t search? he doesn’t have shooters? Stick up kids got these entertainers scared.
