Annals of Self-Defense

Last wk.'s Nitwit of the Wk. Award goes to Plaxico Burress, who managed to plug himself in the thigh while trying to drink or something. You figure it out. 

Burress had been allowed to bypass security, even though they knew he was armed, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity. The club is said to be fully cooperating in the investigation.

Around 12:05 a.m., as Burress was being escorted to a VIP area with a drink in one hand, he somehow ended up fumbling his gun and it discharged, hitting his thigh. Pierce was with him when that occurred, police said.

It's believed Pierce took Burress to the car and then left with him, according to police. The .40-caliber Glock was found in the glove compartment of Pierce's Cadillac Escalade, but it's unclear who put the weapon there.

If celebrity makes you a trouble magnet, get a freaking bodyguard who knows how to use a gun. Or just stay the hell out of places in which you feel you need a gun.
