SYDNEY, May 13 AAP - A man has been charged after storming into a police station in western Sydney with a loaded gun.
The man, 32, walked into Bankstown police station about 10pm on Sunday and started behaving aggressively towards officers.
While police were talking to him, the man lifted up his shirt, revealing a loaded gun and ammunition.
The man subsequently placed the gun on a counter and was arrested.
More ammo was later found in the man’s pants.
He was charged with a number of offences including possessing a loaded firearm in a public place.
He was refused bail and will front Bankstown Local Court on Monday.

SYDNEY, May 6 AAP - Sydney police officers went “above and beyond” to save an intellectually disabled woman from a burning building, their inspector says.
Two officers arrived at a Marrickville house just after 2am (AEST) on Monday to find it ablaze, with smoke pouring from the roof and windows.
Inspector Darren Smith says the officers heard a woman screaming from the back of the house.
“The police tried to go through the front door but there was too much flames and smoke, so they’ve gone down the side and run past the actual bedroom that was on fire,” he told the ABC.
In the next bedroom back they found the distressed woman, and had to force apart metal window bars to pull her to safety.
The other occupants of the house, which operates as a disability care facility, had escaped out the front.
Inspector Smith praised the actions of the two police officers who were first on the scene and had to be taken to hospital for smoke inhalation.
“It was a pretty brave effort from both of them … running into the side of a burning building, they’ve gone above and beyond what they’re probably expected to do,” he said.
The pair were in good spirits, he said.

SYDNEY, May 4 AAP - The NSW opposition has accused the O’Farrell government of putting cost savings ahead of community safety by placing a freeze on police recruitment.
In a statement on Saturday, Opposition Leader John Robertson said the government had stopped applications for a number of police force employment programs.
“The O’Farrell government has suspended recruitment for the NSW Police Force indefinitely - despite critical police shortages in the child abuse squad, public transport command and local police stations,” Mr Robertson said in a statement.
“It has today been revealed the government has ordered no new applicants be allowed to apply to become a police officer in NSW - because it claims it already has enough.”
Opposition police spokesman, Nathan Rees, said the announcement was about cost reduction.
He called on the government to explain whether it was putting cost cutting ahead of community safety.
Comment was being sought from the government.
A spokesman for Police Minister Michael Gallacher said the freeze was only in place because there were thousands of prospective recruits on the force’s waiting list.
“There are over 1000 people trying to get into the academy,” the spokesman said.
“It’s not fair to make people pay over $500 in medicals when they are on a long waiting list.”

Marvellous. Senior Constable Tony Tamplin would have been chuffed as thousands of mourners packed Newcastle Town Hall this morning to celebrate the life of a man who had touched so many.
Brilliant and heartfelt tributes from his grieving wife, Sonia, their children and his brother, Denis, were complimented by moving words from NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione and representatives from the media and charities.
Senior Constable Tamplin died suddenly on Monday, aged 54 and after 35 years service in the police force, more than a decade helping his favourite charity Variety - the Childrens Charity and seven years as a popular celebrant.
Mr Scipione also announced that Senior Constable Tamplin would be honoured posthumously with the National Police Service Medal, recognising his ethical and diligent service in protecting the community.
“When we gather at a funeral to farewell a colleague, a friend, a loved one, it is understandable, perhaps inevitable, that the mood is sombre,’’ Mr Scipione said.
“There is always great sadness at the loss.

Surgeons across Australia are urging a change to the nation’s drinking culture, saying they are tired of patching up people hurt as a result of drunken violence.
They say alcohol is increasingly a factor in the cases of shattered jaws and severed tendons they confront, describing much of their work as focusing on ”preventable tragedies”.
Whether those people being wh
