A 20-year-old man in Changhua County, Taiwan, accidentally shot his friend's girlfriend in the knee while showing off a non-standard pistol he purchased for NT$100,000 through an acquaintance. Following the incident at a bar where he was drinking with friends, the man turned himself in and was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison, fined NT$50,000, and ordered to perform labor service. The court highlighted the danger to public safety of possessing a lethal firearm without permission and took into account the man's young age, lack of criminal intent beyond showing off, and compensation for the victim's injuries.
