Mr Lee Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 The below is an interesting statement, and I have been told by gun shops that even foreigners can own guns if they show a need for them such as owning a business and carrying large amounts of cash, so I wonder if this news story and the things I have been told by gun shops are true or if when they say anyone they mean any Filipino citizen only? Anyone have a link to any law which defines this clearly? In the Philippines, anyone can get a license to own a conventional gun, subject to a police clearance and other security checks. The law allows people to carry guns outside their homes if they can prove to police they may need to use it in self-defense. There are about 1.3 million licensed firearms in the Philippines, with 600,000 in the hands of private citizens and the rest held by the military, police and other law-enforcement agencies, according to police estimates.
