It would appear that this was a very stupid, immature mistake on your part. It's well known that the brains of young men don't develop until they are their mid 20s, and I anticipate about that that applies to you,’’ the judge said.

The difference being that this kid has not held himself out to be fit and proper, and through his actions has shown that he isn’t anyway. A licensed gun owner has and is bound to act accordingly, so for me a more severe whack for a gun owner in these circumstances would be appropriate.Quote:

Gaining and holding a drivers license does not include a test of character - the character or personal suitability of the applicant (their fit and proper status) is not vigorously assessed or scrutinised, and the bad behaviour of a driver is not projected onto all drivers.Quote:
