Not legally, and the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm is severe.
Filipino wives / girlfriends can purchase a firearm, after obtaining a permit.

 

Is there anywhere one could practice if the wife had a legally bought gun? Thinking of the wife if she needs to shoot an intruder in the arse.

 

Do a search for shooting ranges in the forum. There have been a number of threads on this topic.

 

Trying to remember the terrorism awareness class I had at Ft. Bragg many years ago. The SF instructor kept saying...”keep a low profile” “ Be aware of your surroundings” “maintain a safe room” “Don’t open your door unless you’re certain who’s outside.” and,....he said..”let the other guy be in the news”.

There’s more...but it’s classified.

 

I was being assigned to a US Embassy in a Muslim country. This was prior to Iraq invasion of Kuwait. Wore civilian clothes. The training received at Ft. Bragg was very valuable

Had the US not intervened in WW2 we would all now be: dead, slaves, speaking German, speaking Japanese. I prefer to be what I am and thanks to the many US servicemen who along with others from the Free World fought against brutal German and Japanese aggression at great cost to them and to their families.
