MERGED: Pro-Gun or Anti-Gun?

[Early_Bird]

permit to carry guns-are they legal?
well it depends kng kinsay magdala what if policeman legal dyd.

I admire you for being one of those who still think highly of our policemen. But I beg to differ. There are lots of civilians out there who have proper documentations on their firearms. The time of thinking that policemen are morally and intellectually superior to own firearms than civilians is over. Panahon ra to sa Martial Law. In fact most civilians have better mindset, psychological make up and firearms proficiency than some of our policemen out there. That being said, being a policeman does not entitle you to a PTC automatically. Policemen still has to undergo the necessary procedures to get a PTC. In fact, lots of low ranking, wala ma butang sa sakto na post na pulis, could not even afford PTCs even with the HUGE DISCOUNTS afforded to them. They could not even afford a legit gun if they are not issued one. How many times have we heard of policemen being caught sniffing shabu or other stuff and get themselves into more trouble because they do not have proper documentation on their firearms?

A private individual may hold under license a maximum of only one low powered rifle caliber .22 or shotgun not heavier than 12 gauge and one pistol or revolver, not higher than caliber .38 except caliber .357 and caliber .22 centerfire magnum :mrgreen:

Panahon pa ni ni Rizal ug Bonifacio na law. This is what I was referring to as a Draconian, Martial Law Era type of law and fortunately for civilians, this law has been repealed. As what I stated on my post above, during Gum Amnesty, you can virtually have any type of firearm licensed provided it is not a BAZOOKA Bubble Gum, LIGHT ANTI-TANK, MACHINE GUNS - CREW SERVED WEAPONS, MORTAR, HOWITZER, TANK, BATTLESHIPS... Hehehehe You can virtually have your own armory in the comfort of your homes. You can legally own M-16s and its derivatives, so goes with the AK, MP5, etc.

"NOW THEREFORE I, JOSEPH EJERCITO ESTRADA, President of the Republic of the Philippines,
by virtue of the powers vested in me by law,do hereby order:

Section 1. General Orders 7, 7-A, 7-B and 7-C which authorize certain individuals to
possess and carry firearms, limit the number of firearms to be possessed,
and regulate the operation of gun clubs, are hereby repealed.

Section 2. Henceforth, all citizens of the Philippines may possess firearms of any type and/or caliber,
Provided that such firearms are not classified as crew-served weapons (CSWs),
light anti-tank weapons (LAWs), light machine guns (LMGs), anti-tank and anti-personnel
recoilless rifles, bazookas, etc.; Provided further that such firearms are
test-fired for ballistics, stenciled and properly licensed"

BTW, even though you can have rifles, subs, etc. licensed, PTCs are still limited to handguns but you can get a PTT for them. It would be bad watching a civilian walking around the streets with an AK-47. Hehehe mura na tag Afghanistan ana...

There are 31,000 doctors who killed 90,000 of their patients intentionally and unintentionally . There are close to a million of gun owners and only 1,500 died of gunshot wounds and 100 of it is of suicide .
