All the Worst...... Plaxico Burress

Before I start ranting about this for 15 to 300 paragraphs, I will give a very brief synopsis of this story.
Last week, New York Giants superstar Wide Receiver Plaxico Burress (Plax as seen above rocking the sweet shades, ice rock on his ear, Escobar mustache, and serious mountain goatie) was accidentally shot in the right thigh (the same thigh that he injured and was nursing back to health) while in a New York Club. This was the first report I read. However many more juicy details have surfaced since the first report was released. Yes, Plax was in fact accidentally shot in the leg while in a night club, HOWEVER, what was missing was that Plaxico was the shooter. OK, so I guess Plaxico, in the nightclub, with the chandelier... Ohhhh so close. It was Plax, in the nightclub, with a gun. Need more Clues... Me too.
Here is what I have been able to gather via multiple media sources:
a) Plaxico had a loaded Gun in New York Club Latina with a few buddies, including teammate NYG Linebacker Antonio Pierce.
b) Bouncers patted him down, found the gun. Questions ensued and it was agreed that because Plaxico was sporting some serious ice ( silver and diamonds on his ears and on big pendants hanging from his neck) along with a fat wad of cash, he would be a likely target for a mugging.... Therefore, obviously, he should pack heat just in case he got jumped.
c) Allowed into the Club, Plaxico gets liquored up.
d) Plax continues to get liquored up and fumbles his drink which causes him to fumble his gun, which was goes down his pant leg, he tries to grab in through his pants, and Bang.
e) The handgun was a 40 caliber, therefore it was likely an exit wound, especially at that range.
f) Plax doesnt let his buddies call 911 after the shot.... They go to Applebees to collect themselves (this part has been alleged but not confirmed) and make a decision on how to handle this.
g) Plaxico contacts his wife, who to amazement is amazingly an attorney, a practice which she is not likely amazing in. Upon hearing from her Plaxico she recommends that he go seek treatment at a hospital where one of her friends works.
h) Antonio Pierce took the gun from Plax right after the incident, to hide it for his friend and teammate. However, he later gave the gun back to Plax s wife.
i) The gun was not registered, or had an expired license, and Plax did not have a special concealed weapon permit.
j) He has turned himself into authorities and will plead not-guilty to criminal charges, which are likely to be possession of an illegal firearm and I would guess tampering with evidence or something along those lines.

So that is the story as I know it, thus far...
My take= Plax should never carry a gun. Especially when in public places, and most especially when does places are places where he will get liquored up.
Classic Take from the Jim Rome Show, this take won the Triple U award for the day (Unfunny, Uninspired, and Unreadable).. However I beg to differ, this one is right up my ally.
Plax, how the hell did you let that gun go off.... I mean you are a wide receiver, havent you ever heard of a Safety.......
Amazing.
