A man who threatened the owners of a Chinese takeaway with a loaded gun because he was unhappy with his sweet and sour pork has been jailed.
It was another bitter experience for David Brian Shinner, 61, whose reckless actions in the NSW Hunter region restaurant were met with a Bruce Lee-like flying kick to his chest.
Newcastle District Court Judge Troy Anderson on Friday said Shinner's decision to carry a loaded gun into the shop had been "extremely dangerous, especially in the emotional state the offender was in".
