Burress Surrenders Gun

Posted Nov 30th 2008 5:51PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned the NYPD paid a visit to Plaxico Burress' house this afternoon, and retrieved what appears to be the gun that triggered this whole mess.

The cops arrived with a manila envelope, but a search warrant was NOT inside.

We're told Burress was not there, but authorized someone inside his home to give police the gun that apparently fell down his leg at a nightclub Friday night and accidentally fired.

It would appear reports that he dumped the gun somewhere in New Jersey are not accurate. As we reported, Burress will surrender tomorrow, and plead not guilty to a felony weapon charge.

3. Meet the New Michael Vick of the Media. Plaxico we learned of you in the Super Bowl, now we'll never forget you for this stunt. You the poster boy for dumbness---even after being told of NYC's laws by the Giants----mandatory time in prison is what you're facing---not the Super Bowl. Roger Goodell, do the right thing here. Dont bow to the money pressure. You let Bellecheat off easy, dont do the same to this one. He's a danger to society and other players.

4. My co workers were in that same club at the time this happened

I pray that he does not throw his life away.

He is in a position that millions dream about - and will have financial security for most of his life.

Don't waste these golden opportunities which can only be described as a gift from God.

Really think about the consequences of your actions

13. To Poster #5...

You say let's wait for the facts. And then you say it's obviously a foolish mishap. Is that a fact? Or is that your two cents that you're telling us not to leave until we have the facts? Just curious... - PB

15. Everyone here act as if he slapped their mom's. Yes, it was stupid to have a Gun. But, can you blame some of these ''high paid guys''.. Everyone is out to get some of them for one reason or another he was probably just afraid to be out partying with out protection. true, he should not have had it on him. But, come on, do you really think he is the only one in these clubs with a weapon. if he was able to get in, i am sure there are plenty more that has slipped by. People on these forums give the ones they admire a past. Anytime it's some one that's ''different'' from them, they start bashing and wishing the person would fall off the earth.. Soon, this will be behind him and he will be right back on the field and these guys on this forum will be hating on another ''money maker''..
