    That's how Plaxico Burress shot himself. Carried a Glock into a club and had an "accidental discharge". The proper term is negligent discharge, and the only possible way to get that is to fully clasp the grip and pull the trigger.

        Yeah. He reached inside to "adjust" it, clasped the grip and put his finger on the trigger to move it around, and blammo! Shot himself in the thigh. So much stupidity to lead to a negligent discharge. Why is anyone even bringing a firearm to a nightclub where alcohol is being served? Plax, you're rich, if you're worried hire a bodyguard. Lots of famous people do. Then you can get blitzed while Anthony keeps his eyes on the crowd.

            Because they like the feeling of being in control behind the wheel. After you're well off enough to not need money any more, tons of rich people keep doing it. Many never stop until the day they die, long after they stopped needing money. The reason is the mental reward, the sense of control over their lives and the lives of others. It feels awesome to them and there's nothing they like more.
