Owning A Gun In Samui

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

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 . .

"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."

I wonder....certain things here are "restricted" to aliens with work permits but those on retirement visas also are allowed the same privileges. I wonder if having a retirement visa would allow you, with the other requirements fulfilled, to own a firearm legally.

I am also wondering about a crossbow. ...Modern crossbows are awesome machines.

[Eric1949]

I see where your going on this. I am on a retirement visa, do not have a WP. Several banks I have enquired with will not issue a CREDIT card without a WP, so 'same privileges' does not apply here, although I may have the finances in the same bank for my annual visa renewal.

[joe84330]

you must have a WP, retirement visa or B doesn't matter apparently.

crossbows i believe are fine, provided you aren't using compressed gas or an explosive charge to fire it. then it would fall under the restricted firearms requiring a license category. there is a ton of gray area around this restricted category however, as every policeman i've spoken with (direclty or through staff or family) have all had the same response to my pellet guns. "you don't need a license for that"

steer clear of the chinese pellet guns in nong khai btw, unless you know what you are doing. you wouldn't be the first person to lose a thumb.

no worries, i think you are better off paying cash for a gun anyway

a rietired person has nothing to protect. they are nearly dead anyway whats the point in them buying a gun when there toom is only about 5 years down the line?

Sorry bit harsh.

Anyone should be able to buy a legally registered gun in the same way you buy a car but if that weapon gets used in an un lawful way then you must take the responasablity for it.

even if someone else uses it and shoots someone.

Your fault for not locking it up..

I like guns everything about them. i like the ay they are built. Bit like an engine i like the art work that goes into the gun.

i like the fact that the Brits invented it and just like us as a stupid nation we banned ourselves from owning them.

I like to shoot things and i would love to shoot an intruder. i am sorry but i have been broken into a few times and what pisses me off the most is that they take stuff that i have worked hard for and these piss takes just take them.

i would love to etain one in my house and tourcher him slowley till he is begging me for the bullet.

For real the using a gun in combat is only the last resorte when there is no other means or way out.

i would not recommend pulling gun out for petty squabbles.

you may not have many friends left.

i mean who wants to hang round there mates house when if u say something off key then u get the pistol finger on you.

For me though that oerson would be my best mate.

a mate with a gun is a mate of mine .)

guns are cool. the bigger the better big loud automatic oh yes baby oh yeahhhhhh

thus tha list tim i stack uo for you thin dood

[Cleveland]

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.

Enlighten me as a single time tourist to Samui what would happen.

Reading how the Thais seem to have a total aversion for settling their disputes one on one, and anything up to ten on one is considered fair game, I would certainly feel a lot safer with a 45 in my pocket.

Then we would see how brave these boys are when a couple of their friends brains are on the pavement.

Then would'nt a large "gift" to the right person get you off all charges anyway?

Then would'nt a large "gift" to the right person get you off all charges anyway?

The three most likely scenarios in this case are -

1 You are correct, but you would have to leave town

2 The gift was not large enough (or you could not afford a bigger one)

3 The other side know 'a right person' who is more right than the one that you know

I am sure that you can see a number of vartiations on all of the above, but the end result would likely be having to move.

I have not had a ten-on-one, but I did have seven-on-one once. It was all a bit pathetic and the only damage was to their pride.

A bottle of JW Black Label the next day (from me) put them straight and cleared everything up.

The worst case scenario is probably the one-on-one. If they think that they cannot win (true most of the time), then they are more likely to go and get a knife/machete/gun and return a few hours later when you are not looking.

However, incidents like these are very rare and not seen by most people on Samui. It is usually Thai on Thai.

To summerise. A bottle of JW Black Label is a lot cheaper and safer than a gun. In my experience, it has worked every time in settling disputes (and there have been a few).

That's what it's all about, isn't it?

[marstons]

remeberber the guy in Soi regaee, knew him quite well, a farnag and a bullet to the head and his friend 4 in the chest, left outside the mini mart for over an hour with just a bit of newspaper over him.

Think i am in the majority of Brits who would disagree with Big C about us stupid Brits banning them, i for one remember well Hungerford, Dunblane and the Cumbria massacre, all of random people, Dunblane being a school.

As for somebody who wants to torture somebody until they beg for a bullet, will i would say that fails the physcological test on profile to own a gun.

dont quite get why this is a Samui specific topic, apart from Butch Cassidy and The sundance kid wanting them on the island.

[insertmembernamehere]

...a rietired person has nothing to protect. they are nearly dead anyway...

I assume this means "retired," and remember in Thailand you can rietired at age 50.

Don't worry BigC, I still have many years of torturing intruders ahead of me....

In another thread, someone (correct or incorrect I don't know) says that speargun fishing is illegal. I was not aware of that, if it's true.

As for "protection," I think guns can be used for sport hunting here too. There are many migratory animals which make good hunting: The Great Russian Blond-crested Martini Drinker, The Red-bellied Liverpool Whiner and the Grousing Australian Warbler are just a few choice game here in Samui (torture optional). I think Samui has the "Wound and release" program in effect so unfortunately you won't be BBQing the Overstuffed Swedish Ground Sloth ribs this time. <---- lively!

Big C ,do you have any spare socks? I have a suggestion for their use.

yes that is why i left england because of all those left wing so and so's.

i mean torturing someone who has broken into my house with the intent to either harm me and my family or take what does not belong to them. that hardly compares with a school massicer or Micheal Ryan.

I forgot that most people back in england are content with the fact that having fun is illegal. The moment 2 individuals go crazy and shoot up a school all the people who have got licences which is about 99.9999 per cent of the people who have licence who don't shoot the place up get the bear the punishment>

i hate english attitdude. Did i have anything to do with Micheal Ryan and that Dunblan masicaure. Why not blame me for all the IRA bombing and the UVF. Infact blame me for everything where a gun has been used for a sick reason. English people just love to moan and complain.

I want a gun so you associate me with child murders and crazy men shooting up towns. Pathetic.

What those nutter did was wrong but what was also wrong was our nanny govement banning guns for all the people who do have no intension of shooting up schools and towns.

You could do the same thing with a car or a knife or a peice of wood.

A gun is just a tool and like any tool you can use it as an effensive weapon.

the fact that these people done this with licenced weapons made it easier to trace the killers maybe they might not have shot themselves afterwards of they thought they might get away with it.

Question is how many lives have guns saved? How many people have been killed where if they were armed they may have had the chance to protect themselves.

Sorry about that dry comment about old people. the truth is that women and old people need them more than younger people.

I stand by what i said. If i did catch someone in my house sneaking around and i did luckliy get the upper hand then yes i would tourture him till he would be begging me for a bullet.

All i can say to that is don't creep around my house and you shall be very safe. is that too much to ask?????

You can challenge a Thai to a 1 on 1 in a boxing stadium i know allot of Thais who settle their differneces that way. i like it and have done it. also there was a couple of forangs that had a falling out and settled it the gentlmens way in the octogon in samui.

If you get a chance to through down the gountlet then go for it buit someone braking into your home that is another matter. that is beyond a petty rowl

i wouldn't even think of pulling a gun out in a petty rowl anyway. i would prbablyuu walk away. unless the person was intent of having a go

[jongkolkhoo]

yes, farang ( non-thai citizen) can legally own a gun. the police doing my fingerprint don't believe me. he asked how much did I pay to get the papers done. I said "0 baht" . still waiting for my papers .. to legally own a firearm here .

[Drafi]

What if you are an acknowledged member of a sport shooting association and you want to continue the training with your guns while you are in Thailand? Would it be legal to bring your guns and/or ammunition to Thailand for sport purposes?

Deleted several posts & replies. In MHO people that posted these I presume under the influence should not own a gun.

That aside this is a forum read by all age groups it is not a little boys club or bar,refer to forum rules..

One & last warning, keep up the gutter talk & you will not be posting here much longer.
