Indian man arrested for firing blank gun in Pattaya neighbourhood

[webfact]

Chaos ensued in a residential neighbourhood of Soi Kopai on 4/1 in Pattaya when a 36 year old Indian national fired a blank gun into the sky, causing widespread panic. This incident unfolded late yesterday, November 20, prompting immediate action from local law enforcement.

 

Deputy Chief of the Pattaya City Police Station, R.T.T. Chittisuk Suthinitaswong, received a report at 11.36pm about the disturbance and swiftly led a team of officers to the scene.

 

Upon arrival, officers discovered the Indian, Sunil, in an intoxicated state. A search of his belongings revealed a blank gun alongside 22 rounds of ammunition, all of which were seized as evidence. The gun remained unmodified.

 

Sunil, when questioned, stated that the firearm was a recent purchase from a dealer. He insisted he was unaware of the legal implications of carrying or discharging it recreationally.

“I was drinking with friends when, on a dare, I fired the gun into the air.”

After taking Sunil into custody, officers transported him to Pattaya City Police Station for further questioning. The blank gun and ammunition accompanied him into evidence.

 

Legal proceedings are now underway as the Indian faces charges related to the incident, reported Pattaya News.

In related news, the President of the Chon Buri Indian Association and two Thai women are seeking justice after a group of Indian men attacked them on Pattaya Beach at the end of the Diwali Festival.

The 46 year old Indian association president filed a complaint at Mueang Pattaya Police Station on Tuesday, November 13, alongside the two other Thai victims. They also provided the police with security camera footage of the attack, although the video has not been released to the public.

Not the sharpest pencil in the box. Where did he think he was, in Alabama?

[thairookie]

Why does he even need a gun ?  He is a tourist, isn't he ?

It is not a country, it is DisneyLand...

What in the heck is a blank gun? I’m only familiar with blank bullets/rounds, been around guns all my life and never heard of a blank gun.

A blank gun is designed to ignite blank rounds.

It can not fire real rounds.

Guns like that are just for sporting and training events.

I have used a 9mm gun like that many times.

In most countries you still need a permit for said type of gun.

In Alabama that would be a bullet shooting Smith & Wesson. 

 

Not a blank firing fake revolver.

Good grief, nonsense. You liberals don’t even know what a real firearm is. No such thing as blank gun.

It may come as a surprise to you but the world is bigger then Kansas.

Why the name calling? There are such things as blank guns,many are bought and converted into real fire arms.

Many are used to commit crime.

Isn't a blank gun similar to that used to start athletic events for example? I very much doubt they can fire live rounds.

 

Would certainly make the 110 meter hurdles more exciting though....
