- Court of Appeal
The Judge's starting point of two years six months was within the available range given possession of five firearms including a sawn-off pistol classified as a pistol, the presence of ammunition, and the appellant's recent violent firearm-related offending and messages linking him to firearm use; self-representation did not justify mitigation because it did not demonstrably reduce trial costs and several counsel had been available, therefore no reduction was warranted and the sentence was affirmed.
