Excuse my ignorance but under what circumstances would a farlung require a gun in Thailand?

Granted if living in Southern Thailand where there may be a need due to ethnic violence, but then I would leave that area.

Like in the West, I would imagine they would require a gun if they felt that they had a small p3nis or felt sexually inferior to other men. Assuming that moving to Thailand didn't solve them of that.

But their Thai wife's can, and do. That's how they get around the law. 

Why in Gods name would a farang need a gun, unless:

a.  you have a death wish

b. you want to spend many many years in a Thai prison

c. you are American and don't feel right if you are not packing heat.  If you are, see A and B above.

Guns, bow & arrows etc, can be a fun hobby, not all guns etc are used to kill, ya know.

I never killed anyone with mine....😋

PS. Check out the Olympics Games for guns, bow & arrows, spears etc....😊

umm, so all farangs with a gun are potential Olympic participants.  Well its an interesting argument when explaining yourself to the police. 😀

You have a gun then....?     🤣

I have one for each day of the week. I like to fondle it when I drive around in my lifted pickup truck. You will know it's me because I have Punisher and American flag stickers on the rear window.

True. Hand guns however...

Hand guns are made for killing. They ain't no good for nothing else. And if you like to drink your whiskey. You might even shoot yourself 😉

Why a foreigner need to own a gun, in Thailand?

If "you" need one, "you" get one from a influential person, who gives you his/her gun.

After use, "you" throw it away and aside a notice "registered to influential persons", there is no media mentioning about it, afterwards, who the gun belongs too. And how "you" got in possession of it.

I had hand guns, I never shot anyone, I used them in competitions and my fun. 

I could never shoot myself because I was trained, plus I never carried my .357 or .44 magnum anywhere but to the range. 😎

It's not the responsible and mentally capable that concerns me. The last thing Thailand needs is a proliferation of handguns (or any guns for that matter). And I just like the Lynyrd Skynyrd lyric 🤠

Just keep the guns out of the hands of visitors.

      News Forum - Thai police arrest six Chinese nationals in call centre fraud bust

      Chinese?? Well I am astounded - it is so unlike the Chinses to be criminals. That reminds me - recently I was looking at all the uber wealthy rich families in Thailand - you know the ones that own just about everything between them - about 9 or so of them. I noticed that most of them have their 'ancestral homes' in China and their ancestors came to Thailand in early 20th century and the another wave after Mao took over. Someone once told me that the 'good' Chinese went to Taiwan, and the 'not so good' went to Thailand. Not sure if that is true at all. Asking for a friend.

      DTV & ..question..

      I wont argue at all - because mine was that way when in Chiang Mai and Rayong. However, that was not the case here in KK. In fact, because of all the additional and different rules they have here for annual renewals for Marriage, next year I am going to switch to Retirement - unless things change. Your current situation is great, but as I found out, there is no guarantee it will be that way in the future (they always change some rules here) - and it may not be that way if you ever change Provinces. Chiang Mai to Rayong was a change, but no problems - KK was insulting and difficult and unacceptable. One size does not fill all, as I found out the hard way in KK. 3 visits to Office, 2 visits to Bank, 3 Officers visited House, 2 Witnesses required in the house who both had to sign witness statements, Insufferable long 10 minute speech by General littledick (in Thai to the Wife and Witnesses), and a overwhelming desire to stand up and tell the little vagina that 'I bought this effin house and I spend over 1 million baht a year in this country - so eff off and get the eff out of my Wife's house you little ................ But because I cannot speak Thai and am older and have a lot more self control than when younger, I remained quiet and still and said nothing. And then I had to smile while they took a few photos - aarrgh!
