Guns on the Gold Coast
Bill Potts
Gun licences on the Gold Coast have risen by 36 per cent over the past two years, nearly double the figure for the rest of the state.
There’s also been a growing increase in the number of gun related incidents.
Some say fear of growing home invasions is driving the rise in ownership while others point to an increase in criminal gangs. So what is it? Bill Potts is a criminal lawyer based on the Gold Coast.
