Robert Fantham of 303 Fifth Line East will make a video court appearance today after patrons and staff at Studio 10 were unimpressed by an openly displayed American-made 'junk' gun.
Police accuse Fantham, 32, of walking into the strip club with the weapon in his rear pants pocket.
Authorities were called when he allegedly started showing the Saturday Night Special around the establishment.
The weapon was reported to be a Bryco J-22 semiautomatic handgun similar to that shown here.
It's one of the top ten firearms seized and traced by U.S. crime investigators, available for about US$60 on web sites searched this morning by SooToday.com.

He's also facing a number of additional charges related to weapons licensing.
