Il Palermo Regional Administrative Court decided to cancel the provision of the Prefecture of Agrigento which had revoked the port of shotgun for hunting use to a young man. The boy resides in St. Elizabeth and the judges had decided not to grant the license for a specific reason. In practice, this person's relationship with some offenders had made a difference, but the judges did not think the same way.
In fact, this relationship is not considered sufficient (alone) to justify the risk of abuse relating to weapons. The defense lawyers' thesis was recognized as valid e the revocation of the Prefect has therefore become illegitimate. Now the young man will have the opportunity to participate in the hunting season 2018-2019 in Sicily which has just begun. A similar situation, but with a different "ending", occurred last March.
In that case the TAR of Puglia rejected the appeal of a man who had been banned from possessing weapons, ammunition and explosive materials due to family conflicts, which were judged to be serious and frequent. The private life of man has not guaranteed the right reliability e the stormy relations with his wife were therefore decisive for the evaluation of the case. Other administrative judges confirmed the revocation despite the withdrawal of the complaints by the spouse.
