A man charged with possessing a 24cm flick knife laughed when a magistrate discovered it was his second weapons-related offence in five years.
Kyle David Stein, 28, pleaded guilty in Gladstone Magistrates Court on Monday to unlawful possession of a weapon.
Police prosecutor Kelvin Boyd read the facts of Steinâs case to the court and Acting Magistrate Damian Carroll.
Stein was intercepted by police while parked in his blue Ford Falcon in Gladstone Central at 10.45pm on April 8.
After a brief conversation with police, they decided to search Steinâs car and asked him if he had anything to declare.
