The Tribunal da Relação do Porto partially allowed the appeal regarding the criminal record transcription for a defendant convicted of using a firearm. Although the defendant argued that the minor injuries to the victim's thighs did not justify the weapon's classification, the court maintained that a 32mm pistol is inherently a particularly dangerous weapon under the Penal Code. Consequently, the court upheld the classification of the weapon but ordered that the criminal record not be transcribed in the certificates due to the lack of proven danger of future crimes.

SUMÁRIO

I - Uma pistola de calibre 32 mm é notoriamente um meio particularmente perigoso para efeitos do disposto no artigo 144 n.2 do Código Penal de 1982, mesmo que, no caso concreto, o disparo tenha atingido as coxas do ofendido sem grandes consequências ou sequelas.

II - Não podendo induzir-se, a partir das circunstâncias apuradas, haver perigo da prática pelo arguido de novos crimes, justica-se que não se ordene a transcrição da sentença nos certificados a que se refere o artigo 24 da Lei 12/91, de 21 de Maio.
