Subscriber only The lawyer representing a woman facing firearms charges has asked the court to throw the case out. Tayla Ashley Blundell, 25, from Tweed Heads, has not lodged any formal pleas to the 20 charges against her. The charges arose from May 13 and June 12 last year and involve numerous counts of unauthorised firearm possession and four drug possession charges. According to court documents, all of the items she is alleged to have possessed are gel blaster style guns, legal in Queensland but classed as a prohibited weapon in NSW. Defence lawyer Kim Ivosevac said the court had the power to discharge Ms Blundell due to a delay, after the DPP asked for more time to file documents to progress the case in Tweed Heads Local Court on Friday.
