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.
This story really has just so much going for it: Florida woman. American with a gun. American ignorant of other countries. Clown college. Face tattoos. Lying to the police with hilarious evidence.
Do you have anything prohibited?
No.
What about this gun?
Oh, I forgot about that.
“A review of Goodson’s phone revealed she had searched online “can I have a gun in my suitcase?” and set a calendar entry with a note reminding her to “put gun in suitcase”.”
I believe she wasn’t lying when she said she forgot about the gun, she seems that stupid to me
Also “it’s my emotional support gun because I fucked up my brain with synthetic drugs”
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.
