Sintesi Omnilex

The court upheld the refusal of a firearm purchase permit. The applicant relied on an assault by a family member, but did not demonstrate a specific and current danger justifying acquisition of arms for protection. The court emphasized that the aggressor was subject to judicial expulsion, did not live in Switzerland, and that a Swiss permit would in any event have no effect abroad.

Massima Omnilex

RCCAM.30C al.1; refusal of a firearm purchase permit may be upheld where the applicant does not show a concrete and particularized danger. A past assault by a family member is insufficient if the alleged aggressor is subject to judicial expulsion, no longer resides in Switzerland, and the requested authorization would not provide protection outside Switzerland. The authority may therefore deny the permit absent proof of a specific risk situation warranting acquisition for self-protection.

Résumé

Confirmation d'un refus de permis d'achat d'armes. Bien que le recourant ait été agressé par son beau-frère, il n'a pas établi qu'il courait un risque particulier en raison d'une situation de fait dangereuse. Cette demande de permis est d'autant moins adaptée que l'agresseur potentiel fait l'objet d'une expulsion judiciaire, qu'il ne réside pas en Suisse et qu'en tout état l'autorisation qui serait délivrée n'aurait aucune portée hors de Suisse. Refus d'un permis d'achat d'armes confirmé à l'égard d'une personne voulant se protéger d'un membre de sa famille qui l'avait agressée, dès lors que ce dernier faisait l'objet d'une expulsion judiciaire, qu'il ne résidait pas en Suisse et qu'en tout état l'autorisation demandée n'aurait aucune portée hors de Suisse.
