NT driver, 13, caught with loaded guns

SYDNEY (AAP) - Oct 14 - Police in central Australia got a shock when they pulled over a car for a breath test and found a 13-year-old driving, with a loaded rifle on the front seat.
A 52-year-old man will face court for allegedly allowing his teenage son to drive unlicensed and possess firearms, police said.
Sergeant Conan Robertson said the car was pulled over about 1.40pm (CST) on Thursday.
"Police found a 13-year-old boy driving the unroadworthy vehicle with a loaded .22 bolt action rifle in the front seat," Sgt Robertson said.
"The rifle had nine rounds in the magazine and one round in the chamber," he said.
There was also a 20-gauge shotgun and a high-powered .243 rifle lying across the back seat with more than 100 rounds of ammunition.
The car was pulled over about 160km northwest of Alice Springs.
The father will be summonsed for numerous offences, including delivering a firearm to an unlicensed person, failing to secure a firearm, and permitting an unlicensed shooter to possess a firearm.
"We certainly hope that the fact the father will now face court will make others consider their actions before engaging in such reckless behaviour," Sgt Robertson said.
