sorry i wanted to keep the link going as i am very interested in it.

can people transfer their gun licence from your own country to hear.

can a forang apply in any special cirmonstances.

can forang police have them?

Now i know that forangs can buy them in the center of Bangkok so what about everywhere else.

i mean Bangkok residents have less room to use them.???

Why would you want a gun in samui!this is not the usa.

Why would you want a gun in samui!this is not the usa.

Any idea at all how many guns there are on the island?

As a Farong you can not get a permit to own a gun, But if you are married to a Thai she can get one. If you have a gun on Samui you will most likely end up using it and end up in Jail because there are so Many freaking idiots A hole here.....

yes you can have a gun here, completely legally. there was just an article here on TV about this very subject. you must have a WP, house book, "some assets" to protect, go get fingerprinted and have a police background check.

so many times i've heard people say "you can't collect unemployment/social security/have a gun, you're a farang" and they are wrong nearly every time. i say nearly because i don't have my gun permit yet, i'm just going through the process now to get it.

Just buy your bloody gun and leave us alone with it. Is the other threat not long enough for you.

so we can get unempoyment.social security then!!!!!!!!

So if you get your gun who you going to shoot? a local Thai, guess who will be the next one shot. beggars beleive for me Farangs here want or need guns, use it or pull it on a Thai and you and maybe your family have had it period.

so we can get unempoyment.social security then!!!!!!!!

Yes, if you have paid into the social security fund.

Qualifying conditions for benefit:

• 6 month contribution within 15 months before unemployment
  
• Registered with the Government Employment Service Office
  

Cash benefit:

• The laid-off receive 50 per cent of wages up to 180 days within 1 year
  
• The voluntary unemployed receive 30 per cent of wages up to 90 days within 1 year
  

ah the ol' big scary thai man always finds a way into these threads.

poor sucker, that may be factually correct but is a bit misleading. regardless of your salary and level of tax payments made, the most you can expect to collect on a monthly basis from unemployment is 7,500thb. that is unless they've adjusted for inflation recently.

when we 1st opened our resort in 2001 we were broken into and i saw the guy escaping over the wall. the advice the police gave us was buy a gun and shoot anyone you see climbing over the wall. As for comments concerning the evils of guns typically do not understand what it is to grwo up in a gun culture the same as I do not understand grwoing up in a knife culture i.e. bali. Every person I know in the USA owns a gun and not one of them has ever shot anyone. It is not the gun that is dangerious it is the user.

no use trying to reason here, maccaroni man.

if there was a thread where someone asked where to get a good pizza, these same idiots would complain that we're in thailand so eat thai food. mods should have derailed the complain train the moment it got started.

As a matter of interest did marccaroni man get a gun, and Joe84330 what do you forsee the gun being used for.

i have a variety of guns, dart guns, air soft guns, pellet guns, blow guns etc. all are used for plinking.

Whats a Forang and should one asking if one can obtain a licence to own a gun, amusing the word gun was spelt correctly though !!!

The laws concerning guns are exactly the same in Samui as they are in Bangkok. Read the article and you will find your facts.

"For foreigners, if you want to buy a gun, you must have a work permit in Thailand, you must have a house registration in Thailand, and you also need to have a check of your criminal record."

Where to buy guns is a different story, no idea. My FIL has a shotgun but he bought it in Bangkok and generally gets his ammunitiion when he goes there.

bkk is where the majority of the licensed gun dealers are located. not only can you buy them there, you can have it shipped to you from another firearms dealer in a different country to a licensed firearm dealer in bkk. then you, as a licensed and completely legal gun owner can pick it up from the shop.

9 out of 10 Rob, but still not correct.

Sorry,

As a matter of interest did marccaroni man get a gun, and Joe84330 what do you forsee the gun being used for.

The whole point of owning a legal gun is because we do not want to brake the law. spelling or genious or not. it does not take a master brain to work it out.

Anyway, back to the point i think that is people do own any gun then they should not show it off to people and only use it when permitted.

I agree if you wave a gun at thai people then you would have problems but in Thailand if the Thai people were trying to do something wrong to you like attack you in your own home then i think that you may have protection with the law. If you go looking for trouble with a gun then i think the the owner of the gun would be in big trouble.

If someone shoots a begger. Then i would guess that if the warning shot did not make him go then he may have some other motive than just to beg.

there again what are beggers doing at the door anyway.

same if someone tried to car jack you.

anway that 1 argument for having a gun.

another is for sport.

i would like to join a gun club. I have seen the thais play a game called killer. fast moving action moving between rooms playing against other teams.

might not me everyone's cup of tea. there again some people like yoga but that is not for me

Sorry,

Please correct me. I am open. Am I, perchance, incorrect in my corrections, or are you playing at moderator by letting me know that my post is off-topic?

(And if you reckon it's off-topic then it's a response to an off-topic reply that was both ignorant and incorrect in its assertions - and one that was not removed, even because of this. Don't 'snot me for being upright. Knock the person that introduced the reply that was off-topic in the first place.)

Sorry, but when someone takes the rip out of a dyslexic by correcting his writing, but they themselves can't even write correct English, then I have to kick back. Big C has a reason for his English. What's theirs?

In what way am I "not correct", pray? Do tell?

ROOO - you watching?

Yes watching

What you do with guns is shoot things. Can't argue. That's what.

The philosophy that comes from this, the mind-set, the whole bag is another question.

BigC was asking about the legalities of this and then (ho ho ) went n shot himself in the foot by trying to explain about his reasons. Off-topic and irrelevant. If he wanted to use it to shoot every fool on the road than that's another story altogether. (And I'll add to that topic myself.)

Answer - buy one under the table. Or get your wife to buy one legally. End of story. If you've asked UR wife about this and she doesn't know/can't do then just forget it. If she can't do then U shure as sh*t you can't!

But then you gotta go shoot things . . . best to stay on UR vid games I think . .

R

Yes watching

squeek

It's perhaps worth mentioning that the current generation of CO2-powered air pistols have a similar muzzle velocity to actual rimfire weapons. ie - pointed (not round) pellets will pass right through a chicken at 30 feet. (But not a frozen one.)

You can buy the whole bag n bundle kit with pellets and CO2 cylinders via the internet for as little as 3,000B - $100.

The website with lots of info is here http://www.pyramydai...5DECFC71C.app03

It's an entertaining read.

Then all you have to do is to get them into the country. (They are selling these in Had Yai on/under counter in the street market for 25k. (But people tell me U can get a real one for 5,000B.) What you need is a contact in the USA navy who comes to Pattaya. You scratch his and he brings you a box . . .

But that's another story again . . . and then what can you do? You gotta shoot things . . . better to buy a hand-held cross-bow for this . . .

i was sent a thread i will share, a cop in the usa pulled an 80 something yr old woman over for a traffic violation, when he asked for all her i.d. he noticed she had a permit to carry a weapon, he asked if she had it on her she said yes it is a 45. he then asked if she had any others guns she replied yes i have a 9mm in the glove box, with that he asked is there any more? she replied yes i have a 38 in my purse. the policeman then asked, what are you affraid of? she looked him the eye and said not a f.....ng thing.

Try & pull out a real or fake gun here & see what happens.

yes you can have a gun here, completely legally. there was just an article here on TV about this very subject. you must have a WP, house book, "some assets" to protect, go get fingerprinted and have a police background check.

so many times i've heard people say "you can't collect unemployment/social security/have a gun, you're a farang" and they are wrong nearly every time. i say nearly because i don't have my gun permit yet, i'm just going through the process now to get it.

so we can get unempoyment.social security then!!!!!!!!

So if you get your gun who you going to shoot? a local Thai, guess who will be the next one shot. beggars beleive for me Farangs here want or need guns, use it or pull it on a Thai and you and maybe your family have had it period.

A firearm is for personal protection, you do not have to actually shoot anybody, but if the need arises, it's better you survive to fight another day,

as a local gangster near me says " I don't do dying, that's for other people"

i have a variety of guns, dart guns, air soft guns, pellet guns, blow guns etc. all are used for plinking.
