Plaxico Burress talks to kids about perils of guns .

[RamboLiberal]

As Plaxico Burress grabbed a microphone and started telling his story Thursday afternoon to about 100 children, some of the kids were murmuring and chattering among themselves.

And then he said "gun."

The kids got quiet in a hurry.

-----

"I carried a loaded gun into a nightclub and the gun accidentally discharged and I ended up shooting myself, my own self, in the leg," Burress told the kids, part of the Urban League of Broward County. "I was playing professional football at the time. I had just won a Super Bowl. I had just received a brand-new contract. I had just signed a shoe deal with Nike. The choice that I made, basically it took everything away that I worked so hard for."
