A South Australian atheist who successfully had his gun licence printed with a photo of him wearing a colander on his head has been forced to undertake a psychological test to prove he is fit to own firearms.
Guy Albon, a 30-year-old disability support worker in Adelaide, told ninemsn he had his four guns and his licence confiscated after police became suspicious of his strange photo.
When he had his licence renewed last year, Mr Albon said he decided to "have a bit of fun" when asked about his religion, and declared himself a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a satirical movement set up in the US with the intention of opposing religion.
Following the lead of a fellow Pastafarian in Europe, Mr Albion successfully argued he should be allowed to wear the colander in his licence photo because it was a religious head piece.
