Abstract

The present article examines the justification of the existence of art. 238 of the criminal code (negligent keeping of firearm, including hunting smoothbore gun). Its current formulation is in conflict with theory of objective imputation. As the result of analysis of views expressed in legal literature and the court caselaw, an alternative legislative formulation of art. 238 is provided.
