Sigh of relief
You have faith because there is Mother Justice for you: more than half a century has passed since the historic band Nomadi put this phrase to music, but a song is one thing and reality is another. A man living in Varese who has had his work cut out for him with the law knows this well and who has been able to breathe (for the moment) a sigh of relief. The TAR Lombardia, in fact, has annulled the ban on possession of weapons and the denial of the renewal of the hunting license, in addition to the revocation of the collection license of ancient weapons.
The contested behaviors
It all started with the order of the Varese public safety authority. The protagonist of the story reported a theft at home and the police contested the custody of weapons and the illegal possession of 8 antique weapons that were not registered in the collection license. The administrative judges accepted the man's appeal for "deficit of investigation" and "lack of motivation".
Nothing illegal
In practice, according to the TAR, the possession of the 8 contested weapons is not illegal since they are historical and their addition to the collection did not represent a change such as to justify the complaint. The conduct of failure to store, then, is not configurable in relation to ancient weapons. A new precedent, therefore, that enriches an already very broad and varied jurisprudence.
