The vulnerability of the victim, a senior who is described as “of very small stature” was also considered aggravating. The judge noted that although Beresford was using a scooter, there was no evidence that he needed to do so because of a disability and that he was younger, bigger and stronger than the victim.
Right? That seems so crazy! Call me Mr restrictive but I think once you start punching seniors in the face, I just don’t think you’re the type of person who should have a gun.
Still unlikely he would be allowed if he applied for a license anyway due to a violent criminal record. And if he already had one, I strongly suspect this would get it revoked after a charge related to violent crime.
Would be cool if they would just say that though.
Great point!
