Mazzei did dabble in guns and was connected to Chucky Porter through a Porter henchman named Geno Chiarelli. Geno's specialty was burglary and dealing in stolen guns as well as gun running for the Cubans back in the 1960's-1970's. Geno once got popped with over $2 million dollars in antique guns that he stole. Geno recently died after he was released from prison. He was not a made guy (although Torsten Ove from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette called him a member). Geno was born in Italy and was actually a super contractor, he could do anything with his hands and Mike Genovese would pay him to do a lot of handyman work at his farmhouse in West Deer.
Here is the court case regarding Geno Chiarelli and stolen guns.
