CityNews – Police promise to crack down on illegal gun owners after a gun fight between a villager and police officers broke out in Chiang Dao on February 3.

A man named Alapa Laomoo was arrested after a fight broke out between him and the police in Thung Kai Puang sub-district of Chiang Dao. He was armed and threatened to shoot civilians and officers. He finally surrendered after he was shot in the stomach by authorities.

I guess I would also surrender if I had a lump of lead in my gut.

Crackdown on weapons -OK

So it takes a gunfight with police to get their interest in illegal weapons and the word ' encourages ' doesn't create confidence.

As for the BB's promise to take action ... ! rolleyes.gif

Message from the police:

It is okay to own illegal weapons as long as they are not used against us!

Police Commander:

"So someone actually shot at you? Wow, what was it like."

Cop:

"First I wet my pants, then run and wait for pants to dry out, you know, group photo."

Police Commander:

"Congratulations. Well done."

Does anyone else think that's a very early (and battered) M16? I don't see a forward assist. Does anyone? Could that be Vietnam war era with some modifications to the stocks?

I wonder how much of that stuff is floating around unknown in Thailand. ??

Cheers.

I'm not sure....did they want to shoot his stomsch....or was it just inability to aim at his leg.....?

Too bad they wernt encouraged to crack down on illegal weapons before this. Thailand: Hub of doing nothing until absolutely required.

Police promise to crack down on illegal gun owners???

This gun market exist now for years and a lot of illegal guns are selled there and still on sale now:

As I stated in a post yesterday, it is alarming the amount of unknown guns in this country in the hands of idiots!!

The only saving grace from what I have been told by people with guns is that the ammo is difficult to get .

This is why any arrest pic you only see a few bullets in the photos. If it is possible to buy a lot you can bet they wont be cheap !!

Was wondering the same thing.... This is a very serious weapon to have stashed in the back shed

Thank goodness, as another poster suggests, the ammo is hard to come by, although I believe it takes a common NATO round, so I don't know why this would be so

Yep. 5.56 NATO (for M16) is a very common round. As an aside, the 9mm is also the NATO handgun round and there's a ton of that in Thailand.
