Personally I think he could be a weapons dealer or he could just be an enthusiast.  its likely his wife bought some of these guns for him so he could indulge his hobby and hes been practising in his house hence the sound dampening equipment.

As an alien, he has no right to bear arms in Thailand, regardless of his native Countries laws.

Watching paint dry is more entertaining.

In 2017, Thailand amended the Firearms, Bullets, explosive objects, fireworks and Fake firearms Act to permit only Thai citizens to own or use the above.

Probably not a bad idea it's bad enough giving these Falang cheap beer and now hash.

You see the damage they do on mopeds never mind giving them firearms.
