In New South Wales, there is a strict approach to the use, possession, manufacture, purchase and supply of firearms. There is separate legislation adopting this strict approach. The purpose of the Act is to reinforce the fact that possession and use of firearms is a privilege and is subject to the need to ensure public safety. Therefore, strict controls on the possession and use of firearms will apply. For a person to possess a firearm, the person will require license and any unlawful possession will be dealt with under the legislation.
There are further firearms offences under the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW):
- Discharge firearm with intent;
- Use or possess weapon to resist arrest; and
- Causing danger with firearm.
If you are a suspect for or have been charged with a firearm offence, then you should obtain immediate legal advice from a firearms offence lawyer.
