Prime Minister Anutin says the nationwide firearm carry permit has expired, so no one, not only Bhumjaithai MPs, can legally carry a gun right now. He also said the government will tighten control over the roughly 10 million guns held by civilians, and that politicians who get involved in firearm offences risk losing their right to stand for election. He said the law itself has not changed. For a business owner, the practical point is simple: do not carry a firearm for security, and check with staff or security contractors that they are not doing so. Watch for any new firearm rules that could affect businesses that hold guns or hire guards.
