Gun shops and getting a licence

**Rigger** · 06-06-2009, 10:07 AM

The father inlaw is off to get a gun licence due to the rise in crime around Isaan, he did try many years ago but was not back because we didnt have enough land, well things have change and we should get it this time, due to cash and equipment being kept around the place.
So what type of licences are there, or is there just one type, can he buy any gun he likes ? as I would probably buy a couple of hand guns and small bore rifle if possible.
Where can I buy a legal gun and is there a online shop I can view ?

I think he can only get a hand gun license

**Airportwo** · 06-06-2009, 11:52 AM

Chinatown (Yaowarat Road) has a lot of gun shops

**mrsquirrel** · 06-06-2009, 02:50 PM

there is a gun shop in khorat

He can buy any gun he likes up to 9mm or .38, he has to apply for a specific calibre then decide on the gun, get the paperwork for the gun and then get his paper work changed for the license.

Dont the police sell the cheapest guns ---friends wife was told that she should go down the local shooting range get a training cert from them and then down to the BIB for a gun at 5000 baht

**Scandinavian** · 27-06-2009, 12:12 PM

5000?? That's a cheap gun. My Gf's bro is a cop, bought a 9mm Glock at 35000, and that was with cop-discount.

**dirtydog** · 27-06-2009, 02:34 PM

Think you will find that a gun costing 5,000baht is probably illegal, cheapest .38 second hand would start around 25,000 baht.

**donald36** · 27-06-2009, 07:00 PM

Thanks Ill put the 5000 baht gun back in the too good to be true drawer

Old Siam - saw many beautiful guns for sale, from hand cannons to sniper rifles. Check out the stores near the Dairy Queen entrance, as well as the Charoen Krung soi 5 area.

Don,t know about up country but you need to be included in the tabien baan for 6 months to apply for a permit

**dirtydog** · 04-01-2010, 09:37 AM

^1 year, but as he is Thai and very old I should imagine that isn't a problem.

About 7 years ago a friend of mine was having some rather nasty business conflicts down Rayong way and decided to buy a gun for protection. Through some dubious contacts he managed to acquire a handgun for 5,000 baht. It was scary !! It was huge and looked like a relic from WW1. All i.d. marks had been filed off and it had been PAINTED black, even the inside of the barrel. I told him not to use that thing under any circumstances as he was more likely to injure himself than his intended target. He disposed of it soon after.

As soon as you have a gun in your possession it will only lead to trouble.

FarangRed · 04-01-2010, 08:25 PM

Go to Cambodia and the odd AK47 lying around

**somtamslap** · 04-01-2010, 08:30 PM

Friend of mine (farang) just got himself a .45 for 50,000bt..stocked up on a load of those hollow point bullets too,,sadistic bastard.

**dirtydog** · 04-01-2010, 09:16 PM

.45 is classed as a military weapon, civilians can't get licenses for them.

**sunsetter** · 05-01-2010, 01:48 AM

**The Fresh Prince** · 05-01-2010, 01:53 AM

Yeh, buy it in her name and keep it at the range, you could not take it home with you.
