What are gun laws like in Thailand?

Thailand has relatively strict gun laws, requiring licences for ownership and carrying. However, illegal firearms are common, and enforcement can be inconsistent. This incident, where a legally registered gun was used by a minor, highlights challenges in preventing misuse, even with existing regulations. The proposed changes aim to tighten public carrying restrictions further.
