Weapons and diligent custody, the topic has always been very popular and in-depth, but what must a person do to prove that he has guarded a weapon in the best possible waythat Cataldi Law Firm has deepened a recent ruling of the Court of Cassation who took care of a rifle stored in a garage. The first degree trial had condemned the hunter, found guilty of diligent omission of custody, with the weapon that was right in a box belonging to the house and stolen by unknown thieves.
The appeal sentence postponed the discussion directly to the judges of Piazza Cavour for the last degree of judgment. The convicted person was defended with the fact that the rifle was old and rusty, as well as lacking some means: consequently, it could not be considered a weapon in all respects. Even the Carabinieri who investigated the affair advised the man to destroy the rifle due to the bad conditions.
In 1999, the year to which the facts date back, it wasn't even considered a weapon, but simply an object capable of offending and of free detention. The crime, therefore, could not exist: this means that keeping a shotgun in a garage owned does not impose the obligation to adopt defense systems against possible thefts. In addition, the rifle had been stored in a cabinet in the box itself. The accused was acquitted and the first instance sentence was annulled as the fact does not exist.
