is it legal to own a gun in thailand
Overview of gun laws by nation A firearm license in Thailand is granted only for self-defense, property protection, hunting, or sporting use.[77] A license may not be issued to anyone who is a repeat offender or mentally unstable. Citizenship is not required to purchase and use firearms. But non-citizens must have a resident permit. A person is also not allowed to carry their gun without an additional permit for concealed carry.[78] Even for Thai citizens permitted to own firearms, firearms are expensive.[79][relevant? â€“ discuss] Fully automatic firearms and explosive devices are prohibited.[80]
Firearms policy in the United Kingdom Members of the public may own sporting rifles and shotguns, subject to licensing, but handguns were effectively banned after the Dunblane school massacre in 1996 with the exception of Northern Ireland. Dunblane was the UK's first and only school shooting. There has been one spree killing since Dunblane, in June 2010 involving a legally owned shotgun.
