Great, and being a motorcycle taxi driver he would be aware of all the Police action.

And still not able to look ahead to consequences of being so stupid , which for me is the single most frightening aspect about types like this.

I remember years ago in Hua Hin a Tuk Tuk driver stabbed a German, not fatally thank god, they arrested him at the Tuk Tuk rank.

He asked: "How did you find me?"

Enough said.

I think this one is safer.

Who cares about its safety to the idiot that had it.

That's another Gun off the Street.

This is the first report about the 'crackdown' that shows a positive actual result

Well Done & only 30 personnel on duty there.

one less gun on the streets, mission accomplished Pattaya is safe now

[Payboy]

^ Make that one less wooden gun on the streets.

[PoodMaiDai]

A wooden gun... really? Who made it, ACME Wooden Firearms?

Would have liked to have seen him use it just once.

Reminds me of the Road Runner and Coyote Show.

How did a mere motosai taxi rider manage to get his hands on the latest Thai Army weapon ? some serious questions need answering here !

[Semper]

Looks like it's made of wood.

[eeeya]

Made by wood Turner or gunsmith?

Shotgun pellet at 850 - 950 feet per second hitting you in the face would be more on your mind than if the gun that fired it was safe for the user to fire I assure you.

My interest would be who made it & how many has he/they sold in the street & where are the shotgun shell being supplied from??

Oooops !!! soryy forgot I was back in Pattaya....great photos !!!!

Just reminiscing we went on a County wide S&D a few years ago ( S coop & D etain ) not what you thought

In a six hour Mobile Patrol with 12 Officers & 8 vehicles we took 57 weapons off the street that night & 18 were from Juveniles. There were a couple of Pistols
