“Daniele Perazzi, president of the Italian Perazzi Shotguns firm, was taken into custody yesterday by Adams County Deputies along with several prototype shotguns.” examiner.com reports, apparently unaware that that particular Mr. Perazzi died last year. Perhaps Mauro Perazzi [above] is the gentlemen in question. Anyway, “The executive was picked up in the parking lot of the Denver Merchandise Mart, hosting the high-end Colorado Gun Collectors show this weekend, after a taxi driver, likely reacting to a suspicious activity reporting outreach program conducted by law enforcement, told authorities he thought he could be transporting an armed ‘foreign speaking’ terror suspect.” To say Perazzi was not pleased would be like saying Berlusconi’s Bunga Bunga girl was a bit of a babe (until botox and airbags) . . .
Perazzi was released a short time later and his prototype shotguns were returned to him, but reports have emerged that he was ordered by law enforcement to leave the state by nightfall, and sources tell Gun Rights Examiner he has gone one step further and left the country. He is expected to be returning soon with an eye toward filing legal action.
Get out of town by sundown? I doubt it. But how much do you want to bet that gun grabbers think it’s OK to profile gun manufacturers’ execs?
What in the name of John Dewey is a “safety gun?”
Hahahaha
Again, I’d call them douche bags, but douche bags have a legitimate purpose.
I have a few out in the ol’ safe that aren’t on the list.
I’d love to take a colt match hbar and reconfigure it to a nice m4 version. Cause it still says match hbar on the receiver.
The stupidity of these people is really underwhelming…
I have decided from this point forward, that the Rocky Mountain State shall be referred to as Kolorado (since it has been largely influenced by Kalifornian transplants).
Wow. As if “terrorists” would choose shotguns, irrespective of the advice of DBJ.
That hack pusher sounds like a graduate of a modern high school, all right.
Just – wow.
every gun banned is a tool of FREEDOM…….now how these tools will be used is a very grave question…the ‘people’ will choose to answer…..Semper Fi
“If you get a chance, ask Joe this: wouldn’t it be better to arrest all the bad guys who use guns and put them in jail?”
But then all the politicians would be in jail.
Hmmmmm…
The recent Boston attack will be capitalized on by the anti 2nd Amendment crowd, with sanctimonious propaganda to turn anyone in who is “suspicious.”
This all comes from the current regimes communist playbook, taking us forward to circa 1970 Bulgaria.
You can’t blame the cab driver, at least his heart was in the right place. The police department though needs more training or better yet more competent people to train.
I must say, I wasn’t expecting my exasperated comment to make it to the front page.
What frustrates me the most is that the writers at TTAG should really know better. The writers here regularly point out the importance of having gun ownership represented by something other than the conservative white old men at the NRA. That having the likes of Ted Nugent and Glenn Beck seen as the “face” of our movement does more harm than good.
Yet there seems to be a blind spot when it comes to the way certain language is going to turn off and alienate most listeners. In particular the incessant use of the term “slave state” to describe those states with restrictive gun control laws. All it does is confirm the suspicions that a great many people have, that gun rights advocates are all extreme right-wingers.
Rallying the base and preaching to the choir may be an effective short-term strategy, but in the long run we’re going to have to reach out and expand the base. The far right is facing a demographic crisis as their traditional base is rapidly heading towards the grave, and as upcoming generations of voters are increasingly younger, more diverse, and more urban. If gun rights advocates put all of our eggs in the basket of angry old conservative white men, then our rights are going to die right along with them.
Anyone who hasn’t already drank the kool-aid just laughs when someone makes the assertion that blue-states with more restrictive gun control laws represent the advancement of tyranny, and that those on the other side of the rift are the standard-bearers of liberty. Let’s not pretend that it’s anywhere near so cut and dried, because it simply isn’t.
We’re currently in the midst of watching as red-states, most of which we would regard to be on the right side when it comes to gun freedoms, are chipping away at the right to vote as part of a cynical attempt to keep Republicans in power. In the name of countering illegal immigration many of these same states are implementing a “papers, please” society. And I fail to see how we can claim to be the champions of individuals liberty when we pat ourselves on the back every time some small town votes to require gun ownership.
Lest you think this is turning into some sort of liberal rant, none of this is to ignore or excuse the authoritarians and wannabe tyrants on the other side. The threat to individual liberty from the likes of Bloomberg and Feinstein is hardly limited to the issue of guns. Bloomberg and the NYPD have become infamous for stomping on 4th Amendment rights with “stop and frisk”, and of course Feinstein seems to believe there are no limits on what the state may do in the interests of “national security”.
There are plenty of authoritarians on both sides, but there are also plenty of relative libertarians on both sides. We dismiss and alienate natural allies on the “other” side at our own peril.
Bought one and it will NOT fire more than one round at a time without a mis- feed or failing to eject THIS GUN IS JUNK! DO NOT BUY IT!

Looking through this list I don’t see the Vz. 58 anywhere on there.
That’s because it’s not on the list, like many other interesting rifles.
I could not bring myself to read thru every reply but had to say the options provided by the 6.8 SPC, 6.5 Grendel and others are a testament to the fact of ongoing innovation and that necessity is still the mother of invention. These are more likely reasons for the authors premise coming to be rather than the idea that the 762’s “time has come”. I do own a 6.8 SPC and it is an incredible round. Also own and use 5.56, 7.62×39 and others just to show I’m not prejudice.
The update at the bottom of the examiner.com article states that it was the Denver PD that took him in. That Adams county Sheriff Dept. knew nothing about it. Seeing how the county is one of the 54 Sheriffs that is part of the challenge against the new state gun laws. I’m sure he is just going to let Denver PD own this one 100%.
Not my line, but one that bears repeating: “I saw a movie once where only the police and military had guns. It was called ‘Schindler’s List'”
I wouldnt stand in the middle of a rap concert without level IV body armor.
“this has got nothing to do with guns” he says, or close enough. He doesn’t concede the point. Some of you are hearing what you want to hear.
“Keep in mind that you cannot carry a loaded gun or loaded magazines into a gun show.”
While this has certainly been the norm at gun shows I’ve attended, do the rest of the TTAGers see the irony here? For all those advocating EDC and home carry, it seems hypocritical to argue that we can’t carry in a gun show. So my question: Am I right to assume this is purely a liability issue for the venue rather than something based on hoplophobia? Is it fear of noobs accidentally squeezing off a round at the show and at the very least causing bad publicity?

A very logical argument.
You are trying to make sense of illogical people, don’t do that! The bloombergs have one motive & the bradys another. The bloombergs don’t want the “nice money making crime thing” to end & the bradys don’t want dear sweet criminals shot. In each case though you are villified for taking out or defending from a model citizen. Its huricane Katrina all over, same old sh.t different twist, Randy
Doesn’t answer the question I always have about stories like this:
Glock?
Lots of NDs by idiot owners have the Glock “pull trigger on empty chamber to field strip” requirement as a contributing factor.
