Each collection of signatures organized in the various Italian municipalities as regards the self-defense (both the initiative promoted byItaly of Values than that of Lega North) recorded important numbers. As reported by Bergamonews.it, even in the municipalities of the province of Orobica the same result was obtained, so much so that in the 80 gazebos set up for the occasion in the last weekend were collected over 5 thousand signatures. As is well known by now, the popular law initiative aims to change two important articles of the Criminal Code, 55 ("Excess culpable") and 614 ("Violation of domicile"), in order to protect those who suffer a theft at home or in their shop.
In fact, culpable excess of self-defense would be excluded, when the owner of the house defends himself and his family, avoiding complaints and trials. According to the same online newspaper, however, the police forces of the province of Bergamo are harboring serious doubts about the initiative (it is not a real referendum, as has often been erroneously stated). The Provincial Commander of the Carabinieri he explained how it is better to think carefully and that citizens should find out about self-defense and understand what scenarios can be encountered.
For the military, pistols and rifles should only be used when absolutely necessary, as well as by people who are eligible to do so, otherwise you could risk a dangerous "Far West". For the Bergamo Police Headquarters, moreover, the proposal must be examined cautiously, at least until all the details on the legislative changes are known: even the commissioner is convinced that weapons are fundamental only when faced with a real need.
