Plaxico Burress on Gun Safety

For those of you who don't follow sports or read the newspaper--or in case anyone arrives at this page at some future point when the details of the event in question have been forgotten--New York Giants star Plaxico Burress (of Superbowl fame) recently not only made the mistake of breaking the law by carrying a gun without a permit: while doing so in a New York nightclub, he also managed to shoot himself in the leg. Freakonomics author and blogger Stephen Dubner characterizes Burress as "a Grade-A knucklehead."
