Most nightclub shootings involve some sort of fight or commotion with a melee of people, but not always. A sudden gunshot incident in a popular nightclub in Hat Yai left a man nursing a self-inflicted leg injury, causing considerable alarm among the hundreds of patrons.

 

The nightclub had to cease operations today for immediate investigation. Hat Yai Police were notified of the report of gunshot noise within the premises, resulting in one injury. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the incident wasn’t a case of shooting, but an accidental gun discharge by a nightclub patron.

 

The injured party was 31 year old Nirun who suffered a bullet wound to his left leg. Hat Yai’s Mittraphap Samakkhi Foundation’s rescue unit provided first aid and transported him to Hat Yai Hospital.

Might be an occupational thing or just a tough guy.

Would certainly have been if the gun had been tucked down the front of his pants

Was there no sign outside the venue saying no guns knives or grenades ????

Those who carry a gun only think they're tough, when in reality if they need to carry a gun it shows they're weak

You mean like the Safety First signs outside building sites which don't seem to work?

Many people leaves their brains at home but don't forget to take their guns with them.

Nirun was dancing in the nightclub when the pistol, hidden in his trousers, accidentally discharged, shooting himself in the leg.

that must have been some amazing twerking for his gyrations to be able to disengage the safety lock and pull the trigger...

Luckily, the gun was not loaded with ball ammunition.

Following the National Practice of shooting itself in the foot !

Good!

Examples?  Which specific building sites that have those signs have had accidents or are you just having another lame Thai-bash?

Tell that to the goldshop owner who got robbed several times already or the cops or soldiers, bodyguards etc. There's lot of legitimate reasons why someone would carry a gun. Blanket statements like yours never hold any water!

Obviously you're American.

Is Hat Yai in Texas?

 

Bet it was a Glock or Sig P-320. They come with their own engraved Darwin Award, suitable for framing.

 

Lucky for him---but not his now-future offspring---that he wasn't appendix carrying.

Nope. Not even close! Never even been there or the Americas for that matter. 

Good man

He's not but I am, and I agree with what he said. Granted, there are many who carry guns because they are looking for trouble, but many more who do to protect themselves or their families from the former. Many lives have been saved by citizens carrying guns. Those that are looking to hurt,rob  or kill aren't going by the rules, while legitimate gun owners are, and they're not the ones committing crimes but preventing some.

There are plenty of places, most actually including my native UK, where people don't feel a need to carry guns to protect themselves. Many lives have been saved by citizens carrying guns applies to very, very few places. Apart from some places in South America dominated by the drug trade, only one country stands out where people feel the need to carry guns to protect themselves. Everyone knows that. It's probably the most outstanding image of the USA that the world has. Another mass shooting - yawn. Seen it a hundred times already. Guns are not a positive - ever.
