Lovely Police Encounter

[Novacastrian]

Hey spudchuckers, just thought i would share with you a visit i had this afternoon with the boys in blue (at least here in oz).
I was having a few well aimed shots in my backyard with my small combustion after work, went inside and listened to some music while sucking on a brown bottle and sorting my freshly made ammo.
Anywayz *knock knock* my missus gets the door, gets me, i get confronted with a male and female Law Enforcer.
"Hi were from *blah blah* area command and we have information that you have some sort of air rifle..."
"Yes i do, i will fetch it for you..
"i'll just come through"
"No just wait there if you want"

God damn, if he would have seen my ammo stash i would have been arrested as a terrorist.
Anyway i showed him the gun and he told me to dismantle it, i told him that i would dismantle it before sundown.. he warned that it is a criminal offence and there are heavy penalties.
I will unscrew the endcap just for him tonight(that's dismantling is it not?)
Lucky my Hybrid is under reconstruction

[spanerman]

Woow, you were lucky, what was your ammo? and im guessing that the hybrid will be alot harder to explain to a police officer...i know mine only gets shot out od citly limits.....

[Hubb]

Where you from?

[Novacastrian]

Spanerman my ammo is handmade polyurethane with either a sinker or bb tip, have a look at pimpin ammo in construction/ammo discussion.

Hubb, i live in Australia

[Hubb]

Well, at least they didn't take it (or you) with them.

[Novacastrian]

Not wrong there mate!
Don't get me wrong either- i just love the po po
Good for me i have experience "talking" with said 5-0 8)

[MrCrowley]

That got me thinking, i'm tempted to make a 'dummy' gun, like DWV PVC, ball valve, no guage etc, I wanna keep the expenses to a minimum

And make the those "experts" classify it for you.

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

ouch, who ratted you out?

[Novacastrian]

A neighbour from a few houses up ratted.
I know who it was but revenge is a dish best eaten......
For now i can't fire anything that is not silenced
Good thing is i can fire them whenever i want at work!

[Redcoat]

Just do some indoor shooting if you want to reduce noise that's what i do.
BTW, If I'd just been visited by the peelers I'd shoot outside un-silenced because you will get butt F*cked by the Cops for having one.

I don't want to get butt F*cked

Damn nosy neighbours

Well, as long as you were firing on your own property and not using an actual firearm, they can't really do you for much, what exactly does Aussie law say about spudguns?

[Novacastrian]

They are class "e" Rocket launchers etc
Major penalties

Probly like 14 years if you got the wrong Judge

I email the police about pneumatic spud guns. They emailed me back saying they are not classified as firearms, but are prohibited weapons, according to the weapons prohibition act, "...PVC cannons".

EDIT: Thats in NSW
