Daniele Perazzi arrested on cabbie's terrorism suspicions.

[Belmont31R]

Was attending a convention and was arrested. For those who don't know Perazzi is very high end competition and hunting shotguns. Like 8k plus starting with $200k+ hunting sets.

FUD here we go.

Ha! I take 25 plus cabs from DIA to my house a year and almost all are somolian, eithopian guys who look like they should be on a watch list.

The bigger question is who in the hell is going to buy a Perrazzi at that gun show, let alone 7 guns.

[glocktogo]

But his high end sporting guns are Lil Joey Two Barrels approved! :D

Meh, serves them right for trying to hold a gunshow in the Berkeley of the Rockies. :rolleyes:

Welcome to Kolorado Mr. Perazzi.

Now get down on the ground, spread-eagle, AND DON'T MOVE!

And since Daniele Perazzi passed away last November at age 80, I'm pretty sure that once again, an American "journalist" has screwed up another story that involves guns. No surprise there. I wonder what else they got wrong?

[No.6]

I'm putting Denver on my "do not travel" list. Geez, I guess I'm on their terrorist watch list since I support The Constitution. Un-fricken-believable. Hope he's awarded a huge settlement, but I have my doubts considering the locale.

[Alpha Sierra]

I truly hope he takes the city of Denver to the cleaners

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

It says Adams county. The airport is in Denver city (and county), but the Tanner show is like one exit on I25 north of Denver to get around Denver's current 20 round magazine limit

The whole story was BS. (http://waronguns.blogspot.com/2013/05/important-update-to-perazzi-story.html) The link goes into great detail but here's the official press release from Perazzi.

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE by Perazzi SPA
With regard to reports in the American press, in relation to an alleged arrest for "terrorism" by Daniele Perazzi (founder of Perazzi Armi SpA), we point out that the news is completely devoid of any foundation. Daniele Perazzi is however, unfortunately, failed to live for about a year. Even his son, Mauro, was last Saturday in the USA. As reported in the press is absolutely false. The company Perazzi, however, contrary to what is written, is familiar with the American legislation on weapons because of his extensive and well-known activities of marketing its products in the USA. Since it is difficult to think of simple error, it is believed that someone who has interests contrary to those of the Perazzi SpA, may have spread false and misleading information purposes only defamatory. The company has already instructed his lawyers to take the most appropriate actions, civil and criminal, in order to protect the brand represented and its activity, carried on the American market.

On another note, I use to compete in the shotgun sports years ago and I always thought is was crazy that a new ou from them it was 6k, then the first thing you had to do was send it to the gunsmith to fix the triggers from doubling on you and people where OK with that? WTF, I kicked all there butts with my 1200$ Beretta anyhow!

Perazzi triggers can double when you don't follow their instructions on using the barrel selector. I've never heard of every gun being sent to a gunsmith to "fix" the trigger as if they had a true problem.
