Owning a .22 air rifle ? Possible ?

[kwak250]

Just came back from Krabi and met a French guy who had a small restaurant and was shooting cans in his large back yard

I used to enjoy doing this and asked where he bought it.

 

He said he shipped it over 10 years ago before you needed a license. 

I thought you would still need a licence but he reckons its not needed.

 

Only reason I am asking Is he said I can buy it but don't fancy having problems with getting it licensed as thought buying from a shop involved registration and licence needed which this would have neither.

 

Probably OK in the middle of nowhere but he is on a main road

Classed as firearms and come under the same regulations as an AK47.......Foreigners have been banned since 2017

I thought the same but he said it was addressed to his wife and she is the owner 

Still don't think it would be that easy if caught

I guess you must have encountered plenty of Thai bureaucracy in your time.......so I dread to think what it would be like to get a firearms licence for SWMBO.

 

Probably why many Thais  carry illegal guns.

I don’t have a licence for black powder rifle in isaan ,makers of them are around

No rifling

air power could be up to 12 foot lbs over that could be lethal in the wrong hands
