What percentage of Phukets population have access to firearms. Seems they are very easy to come by.

So sad that murder is so often chosen as the primary tool for the resolution of a dispute here nowadays.
Unfortunately greed and selfishness seem to trump the value of life regularly.
I hope the situation improves in time...

I don't personally know a single thai man that don't own a gun. And no I don't have gangsters ad friends, it's pretty standard to own a gun in especially southern Thailand. I also have quite a few friends in Bangkok and Hua Hin, all of them own guns. My wifes father (retired principal in Phang Nga) own probably more than one, as do my brother in law. It's extremely common, yes
