I don’t understand this.
How did the cab driver become aware that his passenger was transporting shotguns? Did the passenger announce this? High-end shotguns like Perazzis break down and can easily be placed in relatively small cases that would not give away their presence. Why would Mr. Perazzi announce the presence of such a valuable cargo? It just doesn’t make sense.
He should have had a private limo waiting, considering the cargo he was carrying and who he is. JMO.
The cabbie probably asked, as Mr. Perazzi had several cased guns, and Mr. Perazzi probably proudly told him, thinking an American would be excited to talk about his high quality products.
