KETCHUM, Idaho -- A 63-year-old gun enthusiast convicted of brandishing a gun and firing two shots during a road rage incident in central Idaho has been sentenced to 19 days in jail and banned from possessing guns.
 
The Idaho Mountain Express reports that Leonard A. Roscitto of Hailey was sentenced Monday in 5th District Court. The sentence also includes a $1,000 fine and three years of probation.
 
Judge Robert Elgee gave a Roscitto a withheld judgment that may allow the felony aggravated assault conviction to be removed from his record if he completes probation.
 
But attorney Douglas Nelson says the withheld judgment likely won't restore Roscitto's ability to own guns and that an important part of his life appears to be gone forever.
 
Roscitto apologized at the sentencing hearing.
