A man who whipped out a gun on a Brisbane train had railway staff in fear as he posed with the weapon. Caboolture Magistrates Court heard father Daniel Patrick Kelly, 45 of Beerwah, pulled out the black handgun in a quickdraw motion while on board a train on January 3. Prosecutors told the court the gun - which was actually a gel blaster - resembled a fully functional semi automatic handgun like a glock which struck fear through railway staff and security who could see Kelly with the gun inside the cabin. The court heard Kelly, a farrier, had a few drinks the night of the offence, was remorseful and didn t realise he had been noticed by anyone.
