Report to the Police
The ruling was issued on July 31, but it's worth examining more closely even after more than two months. The Latina Regional Administrative Court (TAR) addressed the case of a man whose gun license was revoked for a very sensitive and personal reason: his cancer treatment. The police accepted the complaint of the man's wife, who claimed that the cancer required constant treatment and consequent stress, as well as inevitable psychological and physical instability. The facts revealed otherwise.
The interview with the psychologist
The protagonist in this case obtained a medical history certificate for gun ownership and, according to the findings of the Local Health Authority psychologist, there were no changes in behavior or mood, essentially, complete reliability even regarding the possession and use of weapons and ammunition. The license revocation was therefore challenged, but for the second time the Police Headquarters denied it. This paved the way for an appeal to the administrative courts.
Flawed revocation
As the TAR ruled, the unreliability regarding the weapons refers only to information gathered within the family, which was generally and unspecified. The wife reported her husband's medical conditions and stress to the police following his brief absence from home (12 hours) following an argument. The police revoked the permit, and the man regained his gun license.
