From nfl champ to prison inmate

well it was registered but not in NY. where it all went down.

It's illegal to carry a weapon in NYC as far as I know. My brother in law is NYPD and isn't even allowed to carry his weapon off duty, it needs to be locked up.

well thats how it is in cali. u cant have a concealed weapons liscense or anything. if u have it in the car and it is regd then u must have the gun in the trunk and the bullets in the glove compartment. when i wa sin arizona for work u can get a regd gun and carry it on you as long as you expose it. cant be concealed. now thats crazy and i actualy saw it. in texas they got laxed laws also. worked there to and like when u walk into a liquor store or something they have signs that say no guns. lol i wish cali would change there laws because the current laws arent helping they are only hampering my security and others who dont do bad.

Crazy that different states have different laws. In WA you can carry a registered gun with you, loaded. Just have to have the license with you. If they catch you and your ligit I believe they have to take the gun away from you and you have to pick it up at the station.

I think 2 years was a little outrageous...heck i think 2 month's would be a little outrageous. It's bad enough he shot himself in the foot..eghem i mean leg, and now he's gotta share a cell with Rufus the angry buttpirate! hahaha

I think 2 years is lenient. The fact that it was himself that he shot doesn't affect my opinion. He recklessly discharged a dangerous weapon in a public place where others could have been injured or killed. A more aggressive prosecutor might have resulted in him doing even more time.

I feel 2 years was a extremely harsh penalty. He shot homself costing himself millions of dollars. Stallworth kills someone while drinking and driveing and gets 60 days.How is shooting yourself which I do thing is quite ignorant deserve a more harsh penalty then killing someone?

I agree. Stallworth should have gotten a much longer penalty too. But that shouldn't have any effect on Plaxico's sentence.

normally I might agree,however I think this is way to harsh.First people know these guys,stalkers,etc.They get robbed alot,as they carry alot cash and jewlery.I for one believe all americans should OWN alot firearms,as it is our right.Discharging the gun in public was bad but as stated he has already been punished.My tip of the day, don't try to rob me.

I have a lot of friends who carry. None of them, at least as far as I know, has ever accidentally discharged their weapon. My understanding is that it is fairly hard to do if you follow normal safety precautions. This leads me to believe he either never learned the proper way to carry and handle the weapon or just ignored what he had learned. Either way I find his behavior to be reckless and dangerous.
