Il Regional Administrative Court of Sicily dealt with the appeal of a 49-year-old who was denied the renewal of port of shotgun for hunting use. The judges of the TAR were called into question after the Police Headquarters had chosen not to grant the license because of the kinship of this person. The man is in fact the grandson of individuals convicted of various crimes, including that of Mafia. Such a context was deemed sufficient to deny renewal.
The 49-year-old's lawyers also relied on the fact that earlier there had been no problem for the hunter. In addition, the Council of State also explained how the simple finding of such a relationship is not enough to prevent the issue of a license to carry firearms. The question is therefore a very delicate one it needs to be investigated specifically.
Section II of the Sicilian Court proved the man right, accepting the version of his lawyers and canceling the previous provision. This is why the rifle port will normally be released, another precedent of which it cannot be ignored in the future. Finally, the Ministry of the Interior was sentenced to pay court fees.
