Safety first at the airport

This Is Thailand (TIT)

Photo above is for me This Is Thailand (TIT), you might not understand it but I will explain. Sign above was seen at Nan Nakhon Airport but every airport in Thailand has a "room" like this. Although there is a strict gun law in Thailand it is actually not difficult for a Thai to get a license and buy a gun legally in a gun shop. And get a license to carry that gun. So there are actually a few people walking around with a gun. And yes they also fly. But according to the air transport law the gun and ammunition have to be separated. So at every airport is a room where you can take the ammo out of your gun. As also at Nan Nakhon Airport, where at the front of the room is above sign.

So what? you would say. 

Well at Nan Nakhon Airport this "room" is an unused shop at the airport entrance hall. This room has no door, no real front wall and the wall to the shops next door are very thin. 

So what? you would say. 

Well you should know that accidentally firing a gun is not unknown to happen when people handel a gun. So actually there is a chance (albeit small) that someone who takes the ammo out of his gun accidentally fires his gun. At that moment I hope I am not somewhere nearby!
