Plaxico Shoots Himself in Leg

New York Giant's Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg at the Latin Quarter nightclub in New York City on November 30, 2008. Plaxico claimed to have been carrying the gun for self-defense purposes, so the bouncers of the nightclub allowed him to carry the concealed weapon inside. While Plaxico was walking through the VIP section, he felt his gun slip down his pants and when he went to grab it, accidentally pulled the trigger. Sources say the bullet both entered and exited through his previously injured thigh. Fortunately, the bullet did not hit any bones or major arteries in Plaxico's leg, and is expected to recover in a few weeks. "ESPN medical analyst Dr. Michael Kaplan said the gunshot wound inflicted by Burress, at short range with soft tissue damage, can cause bleeding and swelling. But because there was no artery, nerve or bone involvement, and assuming there is no tissue death or infection, Burress probably can return to the Giants' lineup in two to four weeks."

My question is, why did the bouncers knowingly allow Plaxico to carry the weapon into the club, and will the Latin Quarter face any penalties for allowing someone to bring a concealed weapon into their establishment?
