Mistaken Identity

Fox News reports:

Denver has a program that enlists taxi drivers to report suspicious activities.

The Tanner Gun Show is a pretty good sized monthly event held at the Merchandise Mart, just outside the Denver city limits.

A cabbie dropped a fare off at the show, who turned out to be an executive with an unnamed Italian firearms company who was carrying seven shotguns.

Seeing the mans "arsenal" the cabbie reported having dropped off a terrorist to the Adams county Sheriff. The executive's lawyer straightened things out fairly quickly although the executive was not the least bit amused.
------------------------------------
In all fairness however, back in the cabbies hometown of Peshwar, someone with seven guns may well be a terrorist.

 O.K. the cabbies home town was not suggested. Still, the Tanner features large numbers of people standing on the sidewalk with all manner of firearms hanging off of their persons much like the normal crowd at an Afghan arms bazaar.

Update: The mention of the Adams county sheriff should have raised flags. They are not ones to over react and seeing someone with guns outside a gun show would typically bring a "so what" reaction. The whole thing in now being called a hoax . I guess this is the sort of story that falls in the "too good to check" category although checking this would involve knowing who to ask and having the chops to get an answer.
