The local cops have no idea....
About 4 years ago my neighbour who is a detective in the firearms branch arrested a guy who was making guns in his shed.
When my neighbour told me about this he said this guy was an "enthusiast" so they went easy on him.
They did write him up and he attended court but wasn't jailed or fined. (conviction without penalty)
It was later discovered that this asshat was selling guns to the local Bikies. They found one of his guns in a drug house raid.
But because it had already gone through the court system and been dealt with they couldn't charge him with anything new.
(And good for you staying legal Bill. There's too much on the line if you don't)
