According to what was established by the judges of Piedmont Regional Administrative Court, firearms license cannot be considered a "absolute" right. The definition was given in the sentence that examined the appeal of a man who lives in the province of Turin and to whom the Prefecture had prohibited the possession of weapons and ammunition. This person had earned the license for personal defense use in 1987 and explained that he had held the guns since 1974 without any problems.
Then, in 1980, he decided to denounce the possession of a pistol and an air rifle. Four years ago, then, the Carabinieri did not find the rifle and the man revealed that he no longer had that weapon for some time as it could no longer be used. In short, he had decided to throw it among the ferrous waste, avoiding to report what happened. The Police Headquarters addressed the case by acknowledging that the license holder did not know the relevant laws well, while for the Prefecture it was negligence.
The behavior of the individual and the fact that he is unprecedented they cannot come before unreliability. Therefore, for the Piedmont Regional Administrative Court, the carrying of weapons is not an absolute right, but rather the exception to the normal prohibition of carrying any type of weapon and which is admitted in the hypothesis of complete safety as regards good use.
