Not the usual type of item carried by pensioners.
A pensioner has been arrested after allegedly brandishing a gun after a row over a slot machine in Italy.
The 73 year old in northern Italy stormed into a bar in Cilavegna, and took out a 357 Magnum handgun, following a dispute concerning the machine the previous day.
The argument with other customers occurred on Saturday, according to local newspaper, La Reppublica.
With the disagreement left unresolved, the pensioner then arrived at the bar on the Sunday, carrying a Smith and Wesson 357 Magnum gun, a knuckle-duster and a flick-knife.
Police were called to the bar to break up the fight, and they arrested the man, who has a clean record. No injuries were reported.
However, when police searched the man’s home the discovered an arsenal of weapons, including: a Stahl shotgun, a Franchi Para rifle, a Beretta semi-automatic shotgun, a silencer and around a hundred bullets.
Only two guns at the pensioner’s home were registered: a Beretta shotgun and a Breda rifle.
Police also found two bayonets, a sabre, two machetes and even a samurai sword. The weapons have now all been seized.
