Paul_au is making the implicit assumption that he would only use the weapon only as a last resort, i.e., for self protection. Is it just me but shouldn't the image of him carrying a firearm in Thailand give one cause to fear for the safety of (innocent) others? All it takes is a discussion at a bar, say, on the topic of immigration or broken English, to turn into an argument and then into an ugly incident. I'm sure he'll reassure us that he would never provoke such an incident but human nature is as human nature does....
