A few days earlier, the 26-year-old Syrian was victim of a robbery in which unknown perpetrators attacked, held and beat him. In this incident, he was stolen a wallet with personal documents and a minor euro amount. The victim suffered head injuries and had to be brought to the University Hospital Salzburg through the Red Cross. The search for the perpetrators has so far been unsuccessful, whereby the Syrian had recognized one of the attackers, as reported by krone.at .The two incidents also make a highlight of the security policy situation in Salzburg and the need to shed light on the background of violent offenses and weapons. The Austrian weapons law in particular has the goal of regulating and using weapons and preventing abuse. There are strict regulations that only allow legal weapon possessions under certain conditions, such as a perfect police certificate of good conduct and the proof of the expertise. The division of the various weapon categories is also relevant, for example category B stands for weapons subject to approval, which also includes pistols and revolvers, and before possession of which a weapon possession is required, explains styrian-wirtschaft.at .
The incidents in Salzburg underline the challenges associated with the exercise of violence and dealing with illegal weapons, and call for a social debate about security and responsible use of weapons in Austria.
