ratcatcher Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 You may be able to buy all of those, but walking around with them or flashing them in public may get some unwanted attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritsSikkink Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 There are a lot of things being sold without being legal. Copy of a rolex for instance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanhull Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Funny actually, in the Big C near me there is a stall just next to the checkouts selling some pretty mean looking swords and nucle dusters plus various fake guns, dont think you would get that in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudos Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Yeah! I was looking for a power converter to use for some gadgets I bought overseas but found a bunch of tazers instead. Then again, I should have put two and two together when I saw the replica guns ("hey there's some illegal weaponry, I wonder if they would also have a step down converter for me to use with some wireless headphones I got from Japan").

Boycie Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I'd stick to just buying the power converter unless you want to do jail time if travelling to the UK. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/348749-a-warning-about-stun-guns/ http://m.creweguardian.co.uk/news/11405713.Crewe_man_jailed_after_stun_gun_airport_arrest/ http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/crime/norwich_man_jailed_over_illegal_weapons_airport_haul_1_3515692 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennypowers Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 No. I saw a Chinese man getting arrested at Don Muang airport for trying to get a taser through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacovl46 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yes, they are legal, but you're not allowed to carry them on you (knives) unless you have a proper reason. For example, if you were to go on an adventure jungle tour, you'd be allowed to carry a machete, if you were to go to Khao San Road, then you wouldn't. I'm not sure about the tazers, but I would imagine they're legal to carry for protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkian Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I bought a knife once on Khao San Rd because it was a handy size and design for mountaineering. I got searched by the police later in the night and they just took it off me without saying anything (about the knife, that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolandRat Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Depends on the mood and bank balance of the person who catches you with it. (in Thailand). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The manic Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 There are no real firearms for sale. As for the legality of the tazers, knuckle-dusters and flicknives I rarely carry mine around and the police could view such items in different lights depending on if you were a 'quality tourist', a seedy tourist or a T party neo con with sex problems.

shaurene Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 The guns are BB guns and you can buy them in the UK I checked it out on Google a few company sellers came up in the UK. As for Tazzers no way very illegal. Swords and knives ok just declare them at customs, you collect knives and swords tell them you should be ok.

Swords and daggers are illegal unless they are designated antiques or you have a collectors license of some sort. They would be confiscated at customs.

Brittain has bb guns and also knuckle dusters ..you just need to know where you can buy them. They are not illegal to own only illegal to carry about your person (in the uk) Knifes and swords if you are a collector then you can get a collectors licence which allows you to own them in the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggg88 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 For home use only. They're not illegal to own if you keep them at home and you'd probably get away with using them on intruders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
