Nevin John Cartwright loses his gun licence after attempting to get the officer-in-charge of the Rockhampton Police Station arrested.
A sovereign citizen has lost a bid to reinstate his gun licence after attempting to get a Queensland police officer arrested.The Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal found he believed the Weapons Act did not apply to himQueensland man Nevin John Cartwright's firearms licence was revoked in May last year.In December 2021, Mr Cartwright went to the Rockhampton Police Station and demanded the officer-in-charge be arrested.
The judgement said: "Correspondence under your [Mr Cartwright's] hand has been received indicating that you hold sovereign citizen beliefs relating to the laws in force in Queensland specific to their non-applicability to yourself". The tribunal referred to a letter Mr Cartwright penned to the Queensland Police Minister in January last year, where he asked to be issued with "all classes of weapons ownership" and "an open and concealed carry permit".
"I do not consider that it is in the public interest to issue a firearms licence to persons who do not consider themselves bound by the Weapons Act, and therefore consider that Mr Cartwright is not a fit and proper person … to hold a firearms licence," the decision said.
