  "summary": "The Thai Enquirer reports on a nationwide gun ban in Thailand, with Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul ordering civilians to not carry firearms outside their homes. Violators will face imprisonment, and police and administrative officials will conduct checkpoints for guns and drugs. Registered firearms must remain at home, and sport shooters must store their guns at shooting ranges. The government has suspended the issuance or renewal of certain firearm permits and is considering a grace period for surrendering illegal or improperly inherited guns. The police have clarified that homeowners may use a firearm if they reasonably believe they face an imminent threat to life, physical safety, or property, provided the response is proportionate.",
