Il Regional Administrative Court of Campania recently dealt with an appeal filed by a man who was denied the renewal of rifle port license for sporting use. Furthermore, this person asked for the annulment of a prefectural decree relating to the prohibition of possession of weapons, ammunition and explosive materials.
The athlete practices skeet shooting and was denied his license due to a criminal case for a crime that had to do with the use of weapons. The procedure was prescribed and the TAR of Naples dealt with the case. According to the judges, criminal records play a role in these assessments, but it is necessary to distinguish between impeding and non-impeding offenses against the use of weapons. In the case of other crimes, then, the reasons for the denied authorization must be investigated.
The crimes of the athlete who appealed concerned some altered food and ideological falsehood, therefore it is clear that there are no direct links with weapons. Unreliability makes no sense if the crime has been prescribed and has very specific characteristics, without forgetting the excellent competitive past of this person. The suggestion of the Cataldi Law Firm is precisely to lodge an appeal in the hypothesis of an identical situation.
