The dude keeps a machete by his bedside? Damn...

It was reported someone broke into his home the week before and left a knife. I've had similar scares and have kept a bat and a sword in my room after those incidents, I don't see anything unusual about that

To me it's unusual that he didn't have something more. I mean damn, that's someone breaking into your house, and leaving something that could be construed as a threat on your life. Totally justified having any number of firearms next to his bedside.

Muresan,

Is that really the way a top NFL athlete should handle things?

No. What's wrong with police protection or private body guards? Presumably his personage is very valuable to the Redskins - why would he knowingly put that at risk, as well his reputation, through a firearm defense?

Could we keep this out of the thread please? There's a number of firearm debate threads in politics that would answer those very questions for you.

Well the guy is still on probation. Maybe he's not allowed to have a gun?. Or maybe he is being responsible by not having a loaded gun next to his bed with a 2 year old running around his house?

I hope he pulls through.

Mur,

I'm not sure a dude drinking by himself in a bar then taking a shot and driving off is the best story to tell trying to paint someone in a good light.

Please don't try and turn it around like that. I was just relating a story told to me by one of my friends about how he was a down to Earth guy, and very nice. This is certainly not the thread to be doing it.
