As disclosed by the FITAV (Italian Shooting Federation), the Regional Administrative Court of Emilia Romagna a few weeks ago, he pronounced a sentence in which he affirms an important principle of law that has long been supported by the Federation, the President, the Federal Council and the technical-juridical College, who have done their utmost in various ways (even with writings) so that the point was accepted and shared also by the Police Forces and by the Supervisory Bodies. Even the person without a firearms permit can lawfully use the weapon in the fields and in the shooting ranges, provided that, it is peaceful and implicit, is assisted by a person or instructor who, with a valid license, oversees the exercise, pleasure or competition.
As is evident, the postulate extends, albeit implicitly, also to the exercise performed by minors. In addition, the dictum concerns an appeal brought by a shooter to whom the firearms permit had been withdrawn by order of the Quaestor. Well, the administrative judge, while rejecting the appeal, clarified that no legal provision or logical assumption prohibits the shooter from using the firearm inside FITAV facilities.
It remains understood, as is obvious and as repeatedly reiterated, that the evaluation, certainly discretionary, is left to the company, which has the right to decide, according to criteria of expediency, whether to admit to the use of the rifle the shooter who, even though he is a member of ours, is without (for one reason or another) a license.
