Thai police pistols

Recommended Posts

 

I recently learned that police men in Thailand have to buy his own pistol.

 

When I heard about it for the first time I couldn’t believe it.

 

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Thai_Police

 

“There are no standard-issue pistols carried by the Royal Thai Police. Policemen must buy their own pistol and he/she must buy what's available in Thailand and what he/she can afford. If the police officer can't afford a pistol, he may purchase one by paying in installments through their police co-operative.”

That IS incredible actually.   So I wonder how the police when investigating a shooting bye police go about ascertaining who's rounds are who as of course without the gun being registered to the police man in some way ( and him perhaps then having a few guns tucked up at home) how they ever can match "rounds fired" to any particular gun / policeman.    Or perhaps I'm being a little too hopeful in the Thai police even thinking to investigate a case like that ?
