A US woman who flew to Australia with a gold-plated pistol in her luggage has been sentenced to a year in jail, despite claiming she brought it with her for protection.
Liliana Goodson pleaded guilty to charges of illegally importing an unauthorised firearm and illegally importing ammunition.
On Monday, the 30-year-old was sentenced in Sydney’s Downing Centre local court to the 12-month jail term, of which four months will be served in full-time custody.
Oh, and her “defensive gun” is a blinged-out gold-plated 1911 that would make a Cartel boss blush.
Not exactly the most practical gun for self-defense and she confesses she would be afraid to shoot it and therefore probably doesn’t know how to use it properly.
I loved that she said she would probably pistol whip someone instead of shooting them. Just the best response.
