Roma - Statement by Andrea Severi, president of the Arci Caccia federation of Rome and the Province. “For my part and for the whole community I represent, my heartfelt thanks go out for the careful and thoughtful vigilance that the police are carrying out within the capital; it is undeniable that such a deployment of forces in the field as well as making the city safer makes citizens and tourists feel decidedly calmer than hypothetical attacks on free and democratic civilization ": declared Andrea Severi President of theARCI HUNTING of Rome and its province.
“Nonetheless, I note that the excitement and widespread concern about possible terrorist events - continues President Severi - has imposed the use of extraordinary security tools including the absolute ban on the transport of weapons and ammunition within the GRA.
I would like to point out some doubts about this decision as on Sunday many shotgun license holders for hunting were intent on hunting activities and had many problems reaching their homes at the end of the day. In this regard it seems to me that too often it happens that hunters are seen as a "social nuisance" and subjects to be wary of.
The same thing obviously does not happen when paying government concession fees and so on. I therefore propose to the Prefect, to whom our full and convinced support goes, to prepare, if in the future he were to reiterate a similar decree to "dispense" the holders of firearms license for hunting and sports use only for the stretch of travel to their private homes ".
