"I didn't know it was loaded": Thai man in custody after shooting girlfriend in Chachoengsao

 

Picture: Thai Rath

 

Bang Pakong police were called to an address in Soi Wat Bang Wua, Chachoengsao, after reports that a woman had been shot in the leg. 

 

Chotirot, 25, was found with a .38 bullet embedded in her thigh. 

 

Rescue medics fought to staunch the blood before taking her to Chularat 11 Hospital. 

 

Police arrested her boyfriend Ekkachai Khiawtai, 24, and took a Thai made .38 gun and four bullets found in a wardrobe into evidence.

 

He told the police that his girlfriend had just come home from work. He was fingering his weapon and had no idea it was loaded. 

 

Police plan to speak to the girlfriend again as part of their inquiries, reported Thai Rath.

Hmmm, guy has a crap gun with no idea how to use it. Probably illegal and he is unlicensed....

Is so I hope he gets nicked..

Thai people should be IQ tested before getting near a firearm and as already mentioned - this one was likely the home made brand and illegal

 

Idiot

with a national IQ of 91, none of the police would be allowed to carry a gun

What's the national IQ of your home country? Chances are it is still under 100.

Not under 100 and not relevant since I'm not the one shooting someone in the leg with a gun.

[wreckingcountry]

Practising with the gun by “fingering “ until the girlfriend came home and then the real thing

That´s a good excuse for pointing a gun and fire it at somebody. Especially your girlfriend. Now she will love you much more.

That´s not fresh news. At present time they are actually up in over 99. Not that it says much, but anyway.

I can only assume by the pixilation that they felt the need to handcuff his todger at the same time for some unknown reason - maybe worried that that was loaded too ?

Many years ago when I was in the RAF I was only given ammunition at the yearly range firing practice. 30 rounds all to myself.

 

The guy next to me had a gun stoppage but didn't use the gun stoppage drill.

 

He started turning around with the rifle in his hands and promptly in severe pain as the range master kicked him in the ribs.

 

1.   Never Never point a gun at anybody unless you mean to kill them.

 

2.   Never N ever play with your rifle. It is not a toy but a lethal weapon.

AFAIK that was a single study done by Thai Government in 2011 and not remotely inline with work rankings or standardized IQ testing methodology

Yes, but they have done studies later, and that showed a better result on a year by year basis. So, all hope is not gone.

It could be relevant if you're shooting yourself in your foot. 

[P Funk]

Maybe he was “fingering” something or someone else and got jumpy when she got home. Natural reaction.

..did it go off half-cocked?

[holy cow cm]

Fingering his gun and didn't know it was cocked?

[puipuitom]

Years ago I was member of a Dutch fire arms shooting club.

We were DRILLED to check every time you got any fire arm in your hands to check it it was loaded, even when you were nr 3 in a row and have seen with your own eyes the two before checked it already and found unloaded.

"YOU and YOU alone are responsable", was the answer. 

Maybe watched too many US films ? 

[sammieuk1]

Can you cook dinner for me tonight when I get home from work she said if I have time after fingering my weapon whoops  how romantic ????

You claimed the police shouldn't carry one because of the national IQ. Based on this data https://brainstats.com/average-iq-by-country.html and this https://www.worlddata.info/iq-by-country.php

There are only a miniroty of countries 100 or over. So based on your assumtion most countries should not allow their police to carry guns.

 

I never claimed you were the one shooting. What made you think I did?

 

[mercman24]

there ya go girl, that was a warning shot. RUN NOW, as next time it will be, *sorry i killed her, yabba is to blame, not me *

Most of them should be IQ tested before they're allowed to leave home, in the mornings!

I’ll be keeping an eye on if this excuse works ????

A home made Thai Guy with his Thai made gun?  Guess he should have got

hold of a Colt or some other reliable make. Hope the girlfriend gets a smarter

guy on her next try.

Geezer
