Firearms offences vary from "possessing firearms" to being a "prohibited person in possession of a firearm". Possessing an imitation firearm can be a firearm offence.
The Courts can often be very harsh in penalising firearm offences.
Some issues in firearms cases are;
- Could the firearm / gun be discharged or used?
- What was the reason you were in posession of the firearm at that time?
