Doesn't surprise me. If the guy's ego was just a little bigger he'd be T.O.

And IF he was foolish enough to keep the gun.

And IF he was foolish enough to keep the gun. 

It doesn't matter if he kept the gun or not.  Unless, that is, his leg presses charges and he tries to beat the rap.

They just said on local NY radio that police will probably be pressing criminal charges against this idiot in the morning.  Good..............coming from someone who has an unrestricted NYC and NY State carry permit, and knowing what I went through to get them, he deserves whatever he gets. There is no worse place in the country to try something as stupid as carrying an illegal gun.  As we all know, guns just don't go off by themselves.  I can just see this guy showing it off in the club, or something to that effect, and next thing you know it goes off.

Bottomline......he doesn't have a leg to stand on....................

It never fails to amaze me how people can have every thing going for them, yet they risk it all on stupid stuff.

If I was getting paid Millions a year, I would do what ever my employer wanted( assumung we are talking a legal biz here) and go out of my way to make sure I stayed out of trouble.

The more I think about this, the more I realize that Burris is an idiot on so many levels.....

CWP or not, this guy should never ever carry a gun. Yes, he is a high profile celebrity with a huge bank account so he is definitely a target. BUT! He has more money then most Americans can even fathom. He should pay someone to carry a gun for him. He should hire a professional security detail when he goes to places like that (or when ever he feels its necessary), and then he would not have to worry about a thing.

He wouldn't have to bother getting a permit..... He wouldnt have to worry about the legal repercussions of an accidental discharge..... He wouldn't have to worry about going to jail for a "bad shoot"..... he would probably also remove himself from the majority of the legal responsibility for a "good shoot"..... and he wouldnt have to process the mental stress of having to take someone's life.

Hey Plaxico, here is an idea..... outsource it!
