Lombardy region is doing a sample check on 5% of the hunters who were delivered to their homes last year on regional hunting card. Basically, you are asked to attach to the regional card, which we remind you must be returned to theRegional Territorial Office in Brescia by March 31, a copy of the government payment of € 173,16, of the regional payment from 64,56 € and a copy of the firearms license. The Lombardy Region wants to check on a sample basis that those who received the card at home had the requisites to be able to carry out hunting activities.
We are not interested in controversy on this topic, given the small effort that is required of the hunter who won the "lottery" by 5%, however, we want to make a couple of arguments. First of all, there is a law that provides that the public administration cannot ask citizens / users for a document that it can find internally. That is to say that the Region could verify by itself whether the hunter has paid the regional tax, given that he should have received it. And he could then ask the police if the hunter has a valid firearms license.
Second, not least, is that to go hunting it is essential first of all to carry a firearm and then consequently the hunting card; with only the card I can not practice hunting because it is not a document that authorizes me but it is a paper tool that I use for hunting, that is, to mark the hunting days and the killed species. We repeat, we do not intend to make controversy but only to emphasize that this sample check is of little use and will show that all those who have received but above all used the hunting card will certainly have been in compliance with the validity of the firearms license. Anyway those hunter federations who should receive the communication from the Lombardy Region by ordinary mail, attach photocopies of the requested documents, attach them to the regional card before delivering it to theRTU or to its president.
Sorry FIDC BRESCIA; in Lombardy wasn't it easier to give the various ATC / CAC management committees all the badges of their members, both for the distribution of the badges and their collection by March 31st?
We would have saved in the region; in addition to the money spent for the shipment of the registered letter; in addition to a bureaucracy that is in the end proved to be bankruptcy and useless !!!
