On the lighter side of news, an incredible story of a US woman bringing a golden gun to Australia and getting caught. I hope she'll get some credits for clown school courses because of this real-world experience.

The court was previously told she had come to Australia to attend clown school and claimed she brought the gun for protection.

Goodson had searched online whether she was allowed to bring the weapon into Australia, despite telling officers at the time she forgot she had it with her.

When asked at the airport if she was carrying any prohibited items with her, Goodson claimed she was not, the court was told.

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”.

When the ABF officer asked if there was anything in her bag they should know about, she replied “maybe some scissors”.

She was then asked if she had a gun, to which she replied: “Oh yeah, I forgot about that.”

“Do you have a permit for that?” the officer asked.

“Back in Alabama,” Goodson responded.

Goodson told officers she “wasn’t sure” if she had ammunition in her bag alongside the valuable weapon.

However, she admitted she had shipped 50 rounds of ammunition to Australia which was the wrong calibre for her handgun.

I think she wanted to be the Aussie Joker. Also the reported psychedelics, cannabis, and meth might have something to do with it.
