I understand that he was carrying a loaded gun with no license, and there were concerns for the other people in the club (since he obviously was clueless about gun safety), but it still seems kind of silly to send a guy to jail (possibly for a long time) for shooting himself in the leg. One of Pacman Jones' goons shot a dude and left him paralyzed from the waist down, and he gets to walk around a free man. Doesn't seem right to me.

different jurisdiction...

Each case is separate (and I admit, I know very little about the Pacman situation) but with respect to Burress:

He violated one of the strictest Gun Control laws in the country; one that is a felony with due to the fact that he didn't have a permit (at least we haven't seen one yet).

And NY State's gun law carries a 3.5 year minimum sentence, though I don't see him serving all that time because of crowding...

to the extent that it applies to everyone else, yes...in my opinion he should be treated like everyone else, no more, no less

Self Promo minute with Uncle Manny:

The Stiles' massive...MASSIVE '09 baseball preview (2 parts) should be posted tonight! (Adding the finishing touches right now!)

I will give wads of AGM cash to anyone who actually reads the whole thing and doesn't get a splitting headache! (or extremely hungry...)
