Maybe for self defense in case someone cuts him off on the road? TNT does wonders in such a situation.

 

Clearly a direct and traitorous threat to the peace, tranquility, good order, stability,  and prosperity that Thailand enjoys under Junta rule. These dastardly activities can not be tolerated and the election must be postponed until universal happiness has been restored to the country.

Trying to justify civilians possessing military weapons and explosives by equating it to a political agenda is not just dangerously idiotic, but very tiresome.

No 2nd Amendment here, that's best left for Amerikans to justify nut cases slaughtering their children.

Possibly an "enforcer" for someone with power here?

Well then, that's the Police armory sorted for a few years. TNT!? Really? I wonder what his plan for this was? I guess he and his shooting buddy also like blowing s**t up too. 

Mid night Panther shooting

 those look like Pipe bombs in the bottom left? 

Wonder why he needed so many rounds as well....
