[OMEN]

A FORMER soldier 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.

Samuel John Radoll, 21, approached two women in The Met nightclub on October 25 last year and asked them to feel the "awesome" thing he had down his pants, the Brisbane Magistrates Court was told today.

The first woman happily 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.

But the second woman reported him to security personnel, the court was told.

When security guards approached Radoll and tried to take the gun he struggled with them and warned them it was loaded.

About 1000 people were evacuated from the club and Radoll, from Yeronga in Brisbane's south, was later arrested.

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.

Radoll's lawyer said he had taken it into the club in an attempt to impress women.
Radoll pleaded guilty to one count each of carrying a loaded weapon in a public place and unlawful possession of a weapon.

Magistrate Christine Roney said it was clear Radoll was suffering psychological issues from his time in the army, and that he would benefit from counselling.

She sentenced him to a one-year good behaviour bond and made it a condition that he undergo six counselling sessions with a psychologist.

No conviction was recorded.
