#2 "As an employee of a security firm, Ms Brown was licensed to carry a gun."

Apparently just cuz they're real purdy. Using it, however, must be another matter. She shouldn't be playing footsie with the cops, assuming that dig about interviews is true - it only gives them a justification for this idiocy.

#3 As an employee of a security firm, Ms Brown was licensed to carry a gun.

But not, apparently, to use it...

She probably failed to secure individual licenses for the use of each bullet.

They'd probably have done it anyway. With regard to firearms, I always thought Australia was UK Lite, and only getting worse with the passage of time.

#4 I just love this (no I don't really.)
Why do the police think that you must talk with them? The reason she didn't talk to them was because she is aware they would be using it against her interest. I bet similar to the U.K. you don't have a right to remain silent.

As far as the gun thing, Australian imigration from the U.K. is huge. It's apperent that those folks are not willing to stand up a insist on the right of or too the tools of self defense. It appears the folks in the U.K. are more than willing to hang out to life any one that does (that is not the issue in this case.) The Australian government appears to share this mindset.
