Mae West lives on

Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me? A FORMER soldier, John Radoll, suffering trauma from his time in the army took a loaded gun into a Brisbane nightclub because he wanted to impress women, a court has been told. It worked – Security evacuated the club. One woman chatted to Radoll, sat on his lap and had her photo taken with him after she discovered he had a gun secreted down the front of his jeans. The other called security. The court was told the gun had been a `”memento” from Radoll’s brief career in the Australian Army, where he served in East Timor. What do the court think? That the Army issues pistols for ever? He carries a loaded, concealed weapon into public – into a night club with alcohol and the Beak only gives him one year suspended with no conviction recorded provided that he undergo six counselling sessions with a psychologist. Strange!
