After a shooting in Nonthaburi, the Interior Ministry has suspended new Por.3 gun permits nationwide and halted the "welfare guns" scheme for officials. Carrying weapons in public without proper authorisation is banned. A new gun-control law with tech-based tracking of sales and registrations is due within 60 days. For a business that holds or handles firearms, or runs security or gun-related trade, expect tighter checks and paperwork. Owners of security staff should confirm any carry authorisation in writing.
