(WCCO) Two stars of the Minnesota Vikings made an embarrassing, but possibly dangerous mistake Thursday, involving a handgun.
Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper and running back Michael Bennett said they had planned to do some target practicing. They had rented a car, but when they returned the car, they forgot to take the handgun out of the car.
The two were caught having to explain the situation to the rental company and police.
Culpepper actually rented and retuned the car, but he had to call Bennett to come have him pick up the gun at the airport.
The gun was registered to Bennett, who said he has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
Bennett picked up the weapon, and no charged were filed. Police said he did not break any laws.
Bennett said he wants everyone to know he was not arrested, and he feels embarrassed about the situation.
Culpepper and Bennett were in town to attend a Vikings developmental camp.
