35mm gun....that's a large pice to run around with


When I was in the service, things like that was mounted on a vehicle

[Pikeybkk]

Ah the Joys of the islands

[transam]

Would suggest a 9mm & a .38in revolver......As for the guy................Stuff is always there if one chooses a route.......RIP.

[ll2]

hope they dont place the guns next to the guy!

it sounds like that! or i am not surprised if that is the case.

[angsta]

Sounds completely legit, case closed. First Leo is on me boys...

[TheOggMonster]

He messed with the wrong people! One less gangster on the Island!

[mickyboy]

big boys toys and bang its all over in a flash if he is who they say then no loss

[BusyBee123]

Good riddance. Pull a gun to get into club which is what is being reported in the thai news expect to be shot dead, game over bye bye knob jockey.

[gk10002000]

Yeah, I don't think he had a 35 mm gun. That is a typo. 20mm is anti tank and anti-aircraft capable and is used in aircraft gattling guns. 30 mm is used in A-10 aircraft nose cannon.

[haybilly]

Yes, agreed, typo for sure--a 35mm 'in his pocket'--yeah, right.

[ChiangmaiRob]

Yes, agreed, typo for sure--a 35mm 'in his pocket'--yeah, right.

Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?

Samui is and has been for many years a real sh----t hole.

[Beetlejuice]

This is like the gunfight at the ok corral, where arguments are settled by shoot outs.

All these illegally run foreign businesses staffed by undesirables and thugs that have muscled there way into the area should be shut down. These sorts of establishments located on many of the so-called paradise Islands are best avoided because visitors and tourists who are unfortunate enough to become involved in any disputes are likely to end up the same way as this Turkish chappie.

[Porkster]

When they say they found the two guns in his possession, surely they forgot to mention that one was in his hand because he DID draw his weapon first didn't he?....?

Please name any other club or bar where the doormen are armed because:

1. Bet nobody checks the their mental state.
2. Just do not want to go near any bar/club that needs to arm it doormen.

[reptile91602]

What about the Turk deserved to be shot. At 2am hassleing the thai guard witha gun. I think it is better he was shot right there. Mark 1 point for the thai people.

When I came first to Cambodia 2005/2006 that was normal, Kalaschnikow MP security guards in front of Big Bars and Discos and signs, =To give your gun to the guard= before entering the premises.

Think, it only slightly changed until now.

I agree good riddance to bad rubbish.

Good question.
