The Court of Appeal upheld the District Court's decision to impose a fine for violating the Gun Act. The defendant argued for a suspended sentence, but the court found special mitigating circumstances regarding the nature of the gathering. Consequently, the original fine of 3,000 DKK was confirmed as appropriate.

Landsretten stadfæster byrettens afgørelse i tiltale for overtrædelse af våbenlovens § 4, stk. 1

[DOKUMENT] Dom (2 sider) UDSKRIFT AF ØSTRE LANDSRETS DOMBOG ____________ DOM

Afsagt den 11. august 2009 af Østre Landsrets 6. afdeling (landsdommerne Rosenløv, Ulla Langholz og Kirsten Thomassen (kst.) med domsmænd).

6. afd. nr. S-572-09: Anklagemyndigheden mod Tiltalte 1 (CPR nr. (Født 1982)) (advokat Steen Moesgaard, besk.)

Glostrup Rets dom af 16. februar 2009 (SS 204/2009) er anket af anklagemyndigheden med påstand om skærpelse, således at der idømmes frihedsstraf.

Tiltalte 1 har påstået stadfæstelse.

Tiltalte har supplerende forklaret, at mester og hans kone er i begyndelsen af fyrrene. På værtshuset holdt selskabet sig for sig selv, og bortset fra en enkelt omgang billard forblev selskabet samlet rundt om et bord.

Af de grunde, byretten har anført, tiltrædes det, at der har foreligget særlig formildende omstændigheder, og at straffen passende er udmålt til en bøde på 3.000 kr.

Landsretten stadfæster derfor dommen.

Thi kendes for ret:

Byrettens dom i sagen mod Tiltalte 1 stadfæstes.

Statskassen skal betale sagens omkostninger for landsretten.
