Hey QC,

Here are a couple of pics from a few years ago, showing the wife and me with a couple of guns. The pictures were taken in two different homes, with two different Thai families. So yes, Virginia, guns are already readily available in Thailand.

Fark me dead, mate . . . that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen . . .no wonder you need weapons by the look of you.

(Umm, which one is your wife?)

I wonder whether he has his own licence for that gun.

As I replied in another post (which seems to have been deleted by an admin), this picture of me was taken a few months after I had a liver transplant and some very servere heart problems that followed the surgery. During that timeframe my weight fluctuated between 135 and 215 lbs. I normally weigh about 170 lbs.

Although I know the picture is unflattering, I have enough self-confident in my skills and accomplishments that I had no qualms in putting the picture on this thread. It was a given that Okie and a few of his ilk would use it to try and ridicule me, but that doesn't bother me in the least.

Unlike Okie, I have no problem with being open and honest about who I am and what I done in my life. I have no need to hide my life's experiences (good or bad) behind my posts.

As far as needing a gun:

I have studied martial arts for over 25 years including 6 months as a sparring partner for a professional Muay Thai fighter and have a black-belt in Taekwon Do (besides training in Jeet Kune Do and Shorin-Rye).

I was trained as an Infantry officer and, while in the military have shot people and have been under fire many times. I also have military training in CQC (Close Quarter Combat) and am an excellent shot with both pistol and rifle. I can regularly shoot minute-of-angle at 400 yards with my sniper rifle.

I have also had training and actual experience in knife fighting and have cut people and been cut (I have the scars to prove it).

Growing up in a housing project, I got into a lot of fights growing up and later on in the military. My last real fight was when I was about 32 years old. I got into a fight with a college football player, who was 10 years younger and outweighed me by about 30 lbs.

After deliberately baiting him in order to get him to hit me (he was a Negro and I called him a boy), I broke his jaw with my first punch (a quick righthand shot). After receiving few more hard punches he stopped trying to box me and went to his ground game. I managed to take him down hard on his spine, stunning him. On his hands and knees, I was in a perfect position to finish him off with a couple of quick kicks to his face, but I restrained myself (to many onlookers) and his friends helped him up and the fight was over.

I can honestly say, that in all my fights, win, lose, or draw, I have never had anyone who fought me ever want to come back and try again.

So don't be fooled by my feeble-looking appearance in those pictures (are about 5 years old), although I am now 60 years old, I am now quite healthy and do 40 pushups every night (last year I was doing 100 every night). I still condition my hands and still have my speed (unfortunately I don't have the stamina I used to have) and can handle myself for quick, short violent encounters.

So have fun with your little comments, but don't ever make the mistake of trying to physically attack me. I can almost guarantee that one of us will go to the hospital and the other one will go to jail.

Sorry about quoting the whole long shebang, but it's a unit.

Somehow your weight doesn't strike me as the issue.

That's a really cool outfit. Arabian nights, American style.

What with your awesome, brave fighting fighting skills, the outfit seems a bit OTT?


Heard of paranoia? Fear? Yellow streaks?

I'm surprised that with all the "Thailand experts" on this forum no one has recognized that the head covering is something that rural Thais regularly wear when working in the fields or when they have to be in the sun all day. They cost about 15 baht in the markets.

As for why I am wearing it in the picture - I had possession of a gun in Thailand that I was currently not legally allowed to keep.

I think only one poster came close to figuring it out in his question as to whether the gun was licensed to me.

And yet these people call me the idiot!
