One is left wondering when and where the "law" is applied, especially when it is so vague (like other Philippine laws) as to have an overly broad interpretation.

 

i have always been told, and my own belief and experience is, try to resolve any dispute involving the police with the first officer on the scene if possible. my experience is that the police ajudicate those situations they are involved in and the price only goes up the more people become involved. and of course there is the truism that, "the foreigner always pays"

 

Shabbynomad, those are words of wisdom you speak. Others would do well to listen.

 

In this actual court case, a judgment was rendered, an Airgun is not a firearm.

 

well i repeat an earlier observation that cangs sells them (or did in february) two different kinds that i saw with ammo, just over the counter with no special handling, supports this more recent post i recall there were rather expensive and probably not the sort of thing neighbors would take kindly. just long guns at cangs. might be handy to repell invaders by appearance but not firepower. as it is my dogs take care of the cats and rats and are super alert to sound off at pedestrians passing by, i take care of the dogs.

 

Goodluck Commercial, besides Golden Rule Store, sells airguns and accessories.
