Ha! One early morning I stopped to grab a quick Cappuccino at a Café in Brindisi... The kind were there’s a rollup door and stools are put out on the street when open. The only other customer was a Carabinieri, who upon climbing up the bar stool dropped his Beretta PIVI 12 S2 off his shoulder and down the stool, with the barrel pointed at me the whole time!
It was one of those three ring chrome stools, so it hit each ring on the way down; sure thought I was a gonner!
He then did one of those Italian two armed shrugs (Shoulders back with the palms up), grinned sheepishly, and picked it up, this time making sure the strap was securely on his shoulder. He was pretty embarrassed as I was in uniform.
A.B. you have some crazy stories!
