They just like the feeling of power they get from carrying a gun. Just like those gun toting protesters at the Obama town hall meetings who were using their guns to intimidate. 200 hundred years of history prove that the second amendment makes America more dangerous, not safer.

Burress did not have such a permit. Burress wasn't "protecting" himself, either. If he were, he would have had the gun in a holster, not loose in his pants where it could (and did) move around and be difficult to control. He was showing off, living the "thug" or "gangsta" life. That said, I agree that his 2-year sentence is excessive. People commit far more serious crimes and do less time than that.

Don’t carry a gun. How about stay out of NY? This is a crime against Burris to give him 2 years for shooting himself? For wanting to protect himself? He didn't harm anyone and maybe a few days in jail would have got his attention but 2 years. Lose your job, maybe your family over this? They gave only 30 days to Stallworth who killed someone driving drunk? Go figure. Solution? Don’t carry a gun.
