So, Ex-NY Giant Plaxico Burress was sentenced to 2 years in jail for bringing in a hand gun to a night club in NYC. He was taken into custody right after his hearing and he's headed to Rikers Island jail. Tough New York hand gun laws carries a potential 3 1/2 year minimum mandatory sentence for carrying and unlicensed and loaded weapon. He pleaded guilty on a lesser charge and plea bargained for the 2 year sentence. With time for good behavior, he could be released in 20 months. That's still a long time.....but the law is the law. Even for football players.
This all happened because he went to a nightclub in Nov. 2008 with a loaded handgun tucked into his waistband. Bad idea. Of course, the gun slipped down his leg and shot him in the tight and almost hit a by-stander. No hiding the gun, the wound, or the story from that point on. There is no part of packing a loaded handgun in your waistband being a good idea or a smart move. Oh, Plaxico. Catching SUPER BOWL-winning catches isn't enough excitement?
