Anthony House appeared via video link in Goulburn Local Court on Wednesday on charges of manufacturing a pistol without licence/permit, possessing a loaded firearm in a public place, possessing an unregistered firearm, not keeping a firearm safely, possessing ammunition without licence/permit as well as driving a vehicle while disqualified.
The 43-year old was travelling from his Albion Park home to Laggan when he was stopped by police in Goldsmith Street just after 10pm where he was allegedly found to be in possession of a homemade 20cm stainless steel barreled pistol.
He was taken to Goulburn Police Station where he was charged and remanded in custody to appear in court on Wednesday.
House's lawyer Samuel Rowland requested bail be granted despite admitting the prosecution had a very strong case against his client.
Mr Rowland pointed to House's full compliance with officers, to the point he demonstrate how to safely disarm the pistol.
Magistrate Geraldine Beattie noted that two charges - manufacturing and possessing - carry a potential of up to 20 years jail time but granted bail.
House will next appear in Goulburn Local Court on May 18.
