President of Shotgun company ordered to leave town by police

[konradv]

He got unlucky I guess. We were told that 54 of 64 Colorado sheriffs said that gun laws were unconstitutional!!!

http://www.usmessageboard.com/politics/294605-54-of-64-sheriffs-in-colorado.html

Keep lying. It is absolutely your best feature.

It was your thread! Are you saying it's all a lie? I assumed you wouldn't do that. My bad.

 

[JWBooth]

Whatever happened to people minding their own damned business?
Oughta nail the cabbie and cab company in his lawsuit(s).

 

[konradv]

He was arrested because a cab driver profiled him as having a foreign accent.

I thought profiling was illegal.....

A) A cab driver is a private citizen.

B) The previous post doesn't make sense. Either he had a foreign accent or he didn't, how does one "profile" that he had one?

 

[bendog]

yeah, cab drivers and denver cops are huge gun hating liberals, and aurora had nothing to do with cabbies calling cops when they see shotguns in public (non firearm shooting) areas.

Great story. the denver post didn't even bother to print it. But you guys are really onto someting here. It's really a relevant and earthshaking story.

 

[Dutch]

Now if the cabbie said nothing and this guy got out and started shooting up a mall you guys would be screaming bloody murder.

WTH.. Here is lawsuit on it's way.

Shotgun executive taken into custody at Colo. gun show on cabbie terror tip - National gun rights | Examiner.com

Daniele Perazzi, president of the Italian Perazzi Shotguns firm, was taken into custody yesterday by Adams County Deputies [see update, below] along with several prototype shotguns. 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.

“He loaded prototype shotguns into the cab on the way to the Merchandise Mart,” gun rights activist and newly-elected National Rifle Association Director Steve Schreiner, who is attending the event this weekend, told Gun Rights Examiner this morning. “The cab driver notified law enforcement he suspected he had a terrorist in his cab, and they were waiting to intercept him, evidently oblivious to the fact that he was arriving at a highly-publicized area gun show.

“He has two lawyers, Schreiner continued, “one of whom went to the police station, and convinced the police that the owner of one of the most expensive shotgun companies in the world was not a terrorist.

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.

Gun Rights Examiner also spoke this morning with one of the two attorneys involved with helping Perazzi straighten matters out to obtain his release. That attorney essentially confirmed the account provided by Schreiner, albeit she characterized the authorities’ position on Perazzi leaving the state more as advice than an ultimatum by the sheriff to get out of town by sundown -- something that would have no readily apparent legal basis. A call has been put in to the Adams County Sheriff’s Department Public Information Officer for comment and clarification on this and other details, but a response has not been received at this writing.

Schreiner attributes the cab driver’s reaction to training authorities have provided taxi companies, where they are encouraged to call law enforcement and report suspicious activities and people based on subjective criteria and limited training.

The thread title says: "ordered to leave town" -- why does the OP take a an unsubstantiated line of the article and try to make that main aspect of the story?

Pretty hacky.

You thought wrong.

The FBI has an entire unit devoted to profiling criminals.

 

[PaulS1950]

States do not have any power to restrict or remove the individual rights of their citizens. They are sworn to protect and preserve those rights.

Since he did nothing illegal his arrest was unlawful. We live in a republic folks not a democracy. The constitution guarantees that all states have a republican government - democracy isn't even mentioned in the constitution.

 

[OriginalShroom]

It appears that this story may be a hoax.

OFFICIAL RELEASE

ARMI PERAZZI S.P.A.

With reference to press reports concerning Daniele Perazzi's alleged unlawful arrest for terrorism last Saturday in Denver (Colorado), we state that the incident is devoid of any foundation and the news is completely fabricated.

Daniele Perazzi (founder of Perazzi SpA) died last year, and his son Mauro was not in the United States last Saturday.

The Perazzis are not involved in any wrongdoing in any way, shape or form and, to our best knowledge, are not under investigation or scrutiny nor are targets of criminal proceedings.

It is difficoult to think that this news are a mistake; there are reasons to believe that somebody who has interests against the company is dissaminating false informations.

The Perazzi Company, contrarily to what has been reported, is very familiar with the US legislation on weapons, due to its extensive and successful presence in the American market.

Perazzi has allready given mandate to its lawyers to promote criminal and civil action with the purpose to protect the brand and company's reputation and its activities conducted also in the United States.

And here is an update by the original reporter

Daniele Perazzi Arrested For Being A Terrorist - Page 2

Since this story has started to gain wider attention, my role in this, why I posted this and the standards I used before publishing merit scrutiny.
I was sent an email from a very well-known Second Amendment attorney titled "major urgent story." As I protect my sources, I will be immediately sending him an email asking if I may disclose his name.

He set down the story, essentially as presented in my Examiner column, and gave me as contacts NRA Director Schreiner and another attorney, one whose CV includes Oxford and Harvard--she requested I not use her name for attribution and I honored that for my story.

I called both and had extensive conversations that include contemporaneous notes of our conversations, and they both independently confirmed the contents of the email and each others' accounts.

To further source the story, I linked to a Fox News Channel 31 Denver report.

I also called the Adams County Sheriff's Office and left a voice mail with the Public Information Officer. As it was Sunday, no one answered and no call has been returned.

Before publishing the story, I sent it to the Colorado attorney who confirmed the story for an accuracy check, and she replied back that it was "well written" and "approved." She is also the one who told me that the Daniele Perazzi in the story was the grandson of the founder. I have the emails to document this.

After publishing, I sent the story link to Schreiner, to the attorney who tipped me to the story, and to the attorney who acted as a source.
This afternoon, a colleague sent me the link to the Perazzi press release. I immediately called Schreiner who maintains he was at the Collectors Show and has first-hand knowledge of some of the information stated as fact, and was directly told about the rest from show management. I also left a call for the source attorney and left a voice mail telling her of these developments and asking her to call me.

The bottom line is, I went through an extraordinary level of verification on this story before publishing it. If it turns out that it is, as the press release states, "completely devoid of any foundation," that means someone went to extraordinary lengths to create and perpetuate a hoax story, and to draw me and others into it, and to smooth entry by using credible people.

As something like this can destroy a reputation, I too, am absolutely invested in getting to the truth of this matter, horrified by this development, and committed to identifying anyone who would do such a thing.

I am going to leave the original story intact below and will be writing a follow-up article when more information becomes known.

 

[The Rabbi]

If the story was highly researched you would think he would quickly uncover the fact that the main actor in it has been dead for some time.

More to this than meets the eye.

Sounds fishy. Law enforcement can't order you to leave town. Where were his lawyers?

It would have been quicker to type, "I didn't read your post"

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Sounds like some dingbat maroon teepotter convinced that swarthy skin, dark hair Italian is the same as that there Muslin that's in the White House.

Gotta love those patriots that lack even the brains of an empty cardboard box.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Not if you're a good patriotic teepotter.

The Examiner....go figure


Even clicking the link in the OP brings you this:

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.

I guess you miss the part where the police officer told him that it was the grandson of the founder..

Not the dead man.

I thought Daniele Perazzi died last year sometime. Do they mean his son, Mauro Perazzi?

Daniele Perazzi Obituary : NSSA-NSCA

Looks like this story is phony.

What fresh psyop is this? Is the Daniele Perazzi gun show arrest true or not?

 

[Sallow]

Do the dumb asses in the peoples republik of Colorado know that their own elite use the high quality Perazzi shotguns? The world is clearly upside down in the liberal mind.

Liberal?

This is a states rights issue.

Let Colorado do what they may say the constitutional conservatives. The good STATE semi nation of Colorado has the God Given inalienable right to regulate their militia just THIS close to banning guns according to the Constitution.

Did this owner have any paperwork on the weapons with him btw or was there just some poor street cop finding a guy with a half dozen shotguns in his trunk?

He wasn't required to have any paperwork. Nothing he did was illegal. He was wrongfully arrested and then illegally harassed by police.
Colorado is already over the limit on constiutionality.

Now go on and goose-step off to the next thread.

Looks like you got snookered.
