I'm surprised, given that in respect of two of the 'firearms' there was
no evidence that they were 'firearms' and good evidence that they were
antiques. I thought the FAC-related charges in respect of these two had
been dropped.

But presumably these firearms were handed in from FAC holders,
so arguing that they were kept as curios or ornaments would
have been next to impossible, that's what I thought when you
first mentioned it to me.
