Even the NRA can not support drunk people bringing weapons into a nightclub.

Why didn’t the NRA step up to the plate and defend this guy? All he wanted to do was protect himself.

Second Amendment!

the words of the day are: “Safety Button”

That’s what I think is hilarious about this incident.

The Glock 17, and all Glock pistols for that matter, are termed “safe-action” pistols, meaning that the 2 stage safety is always automatically engaged.

Engaged, that is until the trigger is pulled, when each safety disengages and allows you to fire.

Either Plax had his finger on the trigger (stupid) OR something else in his sweatpants got into the trigger guard and had enough leverage to pull back the trigger.

My guess: carrying in the waistband of his sweats, the gun starts to slide down his leg, he reaches down and grabs it (by the trigger…)

/Bang

Murderers kill innocent people every day while driving drunk, and most see little if any jail time, and surely no where near as much as plex got for shooting HIMSELF in the leg.

Horrendous law that should only impose jail time, if, you know, you actually shoot someone ELSE.

cont…

The only thing that made me skeptical about Plax wanting to go to Phi was that he has made it known that he wants to go somewhere that gives him a good chance to win a SB.

New York Post and New York Daily News both reported that Plax was asked about whether we should be looking into the Phillies cap and Plax, with a smile said, “That’s for y’all to talk about”.

Brandon Jacobs, who is probably Plax’ best friend on the Giants and spoke with him once a week for the entire time he was in prison said “There’s no chance he’s coming back to NY” and something along the lines of him wanting to play in Philly with Vick since they are both Virginia guys.

Finally, take this with a grain of salt, the Daily News posted odds where he’d end up and Philly was 3-1 easily outdistancing the next likely spots Rams (Spagnuolo) and Jets. Giants were 50-1.

So there you have it.

where did he get the money for the family party when he had to scam people before the jail stunt?

not that i would have a problem with it, but seriously. I stay up on any birds news and i have seen no interest officially coming outta philly. Yeah they have the con-vick conection with the dog slayer, but it seems to me everything is just hearsay..

does anyone really think that philly would want to carry that sort of national baggage 3 years in a row?

Again, i’d gladly suit him up in midnight green,, but from what i can tell this is just a bunch of no name reporters tryin to keep their jobs in a lockout.

does anyone have facts to support this??
besides, “PHILLIES HAT MAN!!”

Philly fans: Be careful what you wish for. You have a young, dynamic, track meet of a team but, to Giants’ fans, appear to be one sulking player away from being the T.O. Cowboys. If Plax doesn’t reconnect with Eli, I hope he goes to Phi.

And who the hell thanks god first thing after being released from prison. Hate to break it to you smart guy, but your prison stay woulda been the same with or without your invisible friend.

Hmmmm, carrying an unregistered, loaded weapon into a club where alcohol is being served. That is not a simple “dumb mistake”. That is a mistake where someone is going to get shot. This time it was himself, next time it might be you.

I do not know about you, but I like the DRUNK patrons around me to be free of weapons.

As a Giants fan and season ticket holder, I’ll never forive Plaxico for single-handedly destroying the Giants 2008 season due to his foolish, selfish behavior.

Oh. My. Gosh.

He tricked his way into extra phone privileges. He gave away a pair of sneakers. He had an extra pillow and cassette tapes. And his room was dirty!

Well, my goodness, he should have gotten the electric chair!

Sounds like a misbehaving teenager, not a hardened criminal. I don’t care how it came about in terms of pleas not taken and so forth, his sentence was a ridiculous miscarriage of justice at a time when overcrowding is forcing the release of violent criminals around the country. Now he deserves a chance to put his life back together and shouldn’t be judged unless he breaks the law.

Obviously his family wouldn’t meet him at the prison for a reunion in front of the cameras. So they met at a nearby resort that happened to include a casino. Whoop-de-doo.

I don’t know what qualifies as more of a show of stupidity than carrying a loaded, concealed unregistered weapon in your sweatpants and shooting yourself, or doing nearly two years in prison when you were initally offered 3 months and community service, and turned it down…..
—————-

I didn’t know about that. I thought his sentence was a little over-the-top but if he was offered something less and he threw it back in their faces, it makes more sense that they pursued the maximum jailtime for him.

Why would he refuse 3 months and community service, but then plead guilty?
