The entrepreneur then used the shooting gun to detonate some shots in the air and put the thug on the run. The Carabinieri, arrived on the spot shortly after, had noticed the recent expiry of the firearms license, which is why the gun had been confiscated, which was why the revocation by the Prefecture of Mantua had taken place.
The license holder had then appealed to the TAR of Brescia, rejected for a specific reason: according to the administrative judges, in fact, it was not necessary to shoot in the presence of the thief, given that there was no immediate danger for the farmer. Simply put, the thug didn't intend to break into the house, but just to steal the diesel. The Council of State was of the same opinion, but the man's lawyers are ready for a new appeal.
