Will be doing a family vacation to Italy this summer and wondering if anyone has been on any gun factory tours they'd recommend. Also, Is there such a thing as a retail gun shop? Thanks

Back in the early '70's, I was on a Mediterranean cruise aboard the USS Forestal and special services aboard ship set up a tour to the Berretta factory for interested crew members. The setup at that time was that the manufacturing facility also had a retail facility and sort of a museum arrangement all on the grounds. I don't remember any gun dealers in any of the cities I visited while in port in Naples, but if I were going to Italy, I would just schedule trips to the major factories and then if you happen on smaller dealers it could easily be handled on the side.
