If we're talking Italian Mafia, I'm no "pro," but I am an amateur firearm collector (and I also stayed in a Holiday Inn once ...sorry!). The Italians have always made some of the finest firearms around, especially "back in the day." Not quite so much now, though, with the advent of German weaponry as well as good ol' U.S. ingenuity. Another consideration for your question: you had those in OC whose business wasn't gambling, but runnin' guns. (Good thread, Goodfella 69!)
