I wanted to know what the gun laws are like in Asian countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia ?
For example, on my recent trip to Thailand (My family is from there) I got to go to a shooting range and fire an old Vietnam Era M16A1 on full auto, and also fire a Colt 1911A1....while I was there I asked the range officer if civilians can legally own handguns in Thailand. He then told me that yes, you can legally own a pistol as long as it doesnt fire .357 magnums or .45 ACP's.... 9mm and smaller are ok for civilian ownership... the bigger rounds are reserved for LEO's and Military....
I wanted to ask about licensing procedures but didnt have time as I had to head out to my next tourist attraction
