*DENVER (AP) *– In Denver, a man who tried to carry two hunting rifles and two pistols into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's downtown hotel remains in police custody. A Secret Service spokesman says Pelosi and other guests briefly left the hotel during Saturday's incident but were never in danger. The man is identified as 29-year-old Joseph Calanchini of Pinedale, Wyoming. He faces a charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon. Police officers at the Grand Hyatt hotel noticed him carrying a rifle-type case at the entrance and detained him. It's not known if the weapons were loaded. A Pelosi spokesman says "the speaker was never in any danger and she appreciates the quick and professional response of the police." Pelosi is in Denver for the Democratic National Convention. -- "Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition.
