The Administrative Court of Turku granted the applicant's request for a ten-year temporary permit to possess a full-size pistol. The applicant, who already held a valid license for 17 firearms, argued that the police could not deny the full-size permit based on the inherent risks of concealed semi-automatics. The court agreed, ruling that the specific dangers of such weapons justified a temporary extension rather than a permanent denial.

A, jolla oli toistaiseksi voimassa oleva lupa 17 ampuma-aseen hallussapitoon, oli hakenut lupaa pienoispistoolin hankkimiseen ja hallussapitoon toistaiseksi. Oikeuskysymyksenä asiassa oli, oliko poliisilaitos voinut myöntää hallussapitoluvan kymmenen vuoden määräajaksi siitä erityisestä syystä, että käsiase on kätkettävyytensä ja itselataavan toimintatapansa vuoksi myös tulivoimaisuutensa osalta yleiselle järjestykselle ja turvallisuudelle riskialtis.
