Recently the Court of Cassation dealt with the case of one failure to report hunting cartridges in reference to a weapon held on a regular basis. The story is soon told. Two hunters had been checked at the end of a hunt: the documents relating to the hunting activity and the firearms license were found to be regular, while the handcrafted ammunition was not. In addition, another unreported cartridge was found in the house.
According to the Court, the complaint is always mandatory for single-shot cartridges, a crime against which an appeal was presented to the Supreme Court. The defense thesis relied on the fact that ammunition was also indicated in the complaint, with the expected deadline of 72 hours not yet expired. The judges of Piazza Cavour therefore accepted the appeal. In particular, the sentence explains how the law does not make distinctions with regard to weapons and ammunition of all types and quantities, therefore, the denunciation of the weapon would not be an exemption from this obligation.
The most recent legal orientation, on the other hand, does not configure this omitted complaint as a crime, given that the possession of the firearm must be considered inclusive of the magazine. The two defendants held two cartridges each, considered the normal equipment of the rifle.
