Last time there I was told it was closed because of, "The Accident."   Accident my ass. 

You can google it <grin>

Spanking the MONKey.

You need to remember.  Many of these drivers have gone from the water buffalo to the car.  There was no learning curve.

Have a look at this. I've owned two Ford Ranger Wildtraks 3.2.  a 2014 and currently a 2016 model.  I used to have a Vigo.  Once I went Ford, I never looked back.

I spent quite a few years teaching the Glock pistol in a law enforcement environment and even wrote a few training programmes having undergone specialist Glock training in USA provided by the company itself.  The first safety is a trigger within a trigger that requires a proper grip and application of the trigger finger onto the trigger itself to release the trigger safety before the trigger can be depressed further to discharge a bullet.  Although I don't discount it as impossible to inadvertently do that I would suggest it is difficult if the owner is compos mentis and remembers there is a gun in the bag in the first place; I agree with the above post that a suitable holster should preclude that from happening.

The caliber of the weapon is really irrelevant as any gunshot damage to the femoral artery in the thigh could cause massive bleeding that may result in death within 30 seconds.

Well said animalmagic. I love the Glock and I think it's cool you used to teach how to use it.

So this Thai guy reached for his ID.  Where?  Was the ID card in the bag with his gun?  What an idiot. Even in a car with the proper holster, the gun typically sits along your hip off to one side, unless you're one of those who carries the gun over your nuts. Here's another thing to think about.  How is it that the gun decides to discharge right when he gets stopped by the police and only at that given moment?

Hey! We have to blame someone because we shun responsibility so lets blame the gun manufacturer in order to save face.  They don't flat out say it was the fault of the gun, but the wording and mentioning the details of the gun implies that it was the gun's fault. My wife read this story and the first thing she said to me was that "Glocks are dangerous."  That was her understanding after reading the story in Thai. I had to tell her, "no they're not." 

Also, if you're going to carry a loaded weapon, why would you put it in a bag?  The time it would take to open the bag and get the weapon would result in your ass being dead as a door nail by the perp. A good holster is what you want.  I personally like, KT Mech, Dara, Blackhawk Serpa, and the Blackhawk pancake.

There is no way the Glock will fire without pulling the trigger and the second small trigger.  I own 5 Glocks btw.  You need to make sure that if you're going to carry a Glock with a round Chambered, you'd better make sure you have the proper holster which has a trigger guard.  I'll bet this guy did not and was using some cheap cloth holster. There is NO WAY the gun will go off unless it's owner did something to make it go off. Of course, the Thais will try to blame it on the gun manufacturer instead of the stupidity of the deceased. This story is total BS.  His death was caused by negligence on his part.

Apparently THE MALL in Nakhon Ratchasima has ALSO sustained a small fire at the same time! This is crazy and what are the odds of that? See below The Mall Korat photos.

A huge fire has just borken out at the Big Klang plaza in Nakhon Ratchsiam. Doesn't look too good from these photos just given to me.

The Running lights are on as long as the key is in the ignition and turned. GMX double cab is the one I got.

My rear camera display is built in the rear view mirror so I am able to use both at the same time . Those lines are there for a reason. Tell your friend to get used to them or just don't look at the console display.

I was told by one dealer that the prices are set by the government and the discounts come in the way of freebies and stuff like that.

2014 3.2 Ford Wildtrak here and it is one of the best cars I've ever owned. I'm glad I spent a little more to get the 3.2 package. The car is solid and drives so nice. I see a lot of 2.2 Wildtraks in my neck of the woods but not a lot of the 3.2. I know they are hard to get but they are available in Bangkok. I got mine in just a couple of days from the Bang Na Ford dealer. They typically carry a few in stock.

sigh.....
