He knew the cop and the cop was apoplectic at the time. After it was sorted he got them back, never lost his license through it.

I was accused of every form of DV including drug abuse and plotting her murder.
I had a interim intervention order placed on me and licence suspended and firearms confiscated.
Fortunately I had an overwhelming amount of hard evidence to disprove her rubbish but the ordeal cost me a mountain of cash and was extremely stressful mainly because my children were also named as protected persons. 6 months later my firearms were back but battle to have some involvement in my children's lives was even harder, the family court is a complete disgrace and it can't be abolished soon enough.
It's all to easy for these women to lie their asses off to the police and in court and there's no consequences for them, intact the government fund their court battle because it's "DV" until the intervention order is revoked.
You never truly know someone until you break up with them.
You can be as cool calm and collected as you like, as amicable as possible, when someone decides they've got it in for you there's nothing you can do except hang on for the ride.

Rookie cops go by the book, apparently, and often issue orders hand over fist. More experienced operators (3 to 5 years or more in the job from what I see) tend to at least make a few inquiries before an order is issued, if at all.
My advice would be to fight any unsubstantiated claim with a 'failure to investigate' type defence. Where were you, what were you doing, phone records, cctv, the usual stuff that is overlooked. Or did they just take a written statement and get an order for the poor upset lady?

Do you know how he threatened his neighbour?

The advice given to me by my old man, who split from my mum 25 years ago was to give her whatever she wants, don’t end up in court. It was a hard pill to swallow, but I did it. She got well over 7 figures in the payout because of all of the land in my name and she got the kids, and I got less time with the kids and a massive debt. It’s hard to admit defeat, but I just had to get rid of her. Plus I was well aware that I couldn’t lose my s##t, because then I’d lose my guns, and my rights to the kids, who I still see a fair bit. There are more important things in life than our firearms, but if you lose them in a relationship break up, you’re tarnished in the eyes of others who think you must be some sort of a threatening monster. They know how to push your buttons, but you just can’t fight back, if you do you’re the bad guy. She’s only an hour away now and I see her all the time with picking up and dropping off the kids etc. Now that we don’t live together we can get along ok. At the time I thought I was losing everything, 12 months down the track, even with her new house plus a fat bank account, I think she’s lost, but it’s not a competition and you have to try and get along for the kids sake.
This has gone a bit off topic, but relationship break downs can take a lot more than just your firearms.
And now that it’s all settled, I’m 100 times happier, got my life back.

Not me, I hammered the s**t out of my Ex at every turn, f*** letting her have anything, all she ended up with was a share of the debt and the kids for 3 years before I took them permanently, now she is massively overweight and dying from some chronic health issue to do with her nervous system, I guess life decided to do what the cops wouldn't to her after all, or, more likely, all the drug use and alcoholism has destroyed her health, in any case I did not for a minute let her have anything her way, I fought her in every single s**ty ass thing she did.
Dont wanna sound mean but women get away with it cos only like 1 bloke in every 5000 puts in a full time effort to force them to behave.

1. How hell the cops knew it was a rifle in the car driving through the National Park? Was a guy stopped and strip searched?
2. How would you avoid some idiot knocking your door and having argument about some stupid things, such as car parked the way he did not like or BBQ smell going his way or your kids playing near his gate or else? Such things are unavoidable.
Do I make sense here?
