It's a pain having to drag my Filipna wife off to St.Fay gun club every time I want to shoot, so I was wondering what you did different when you applied for your licences. Did you see someone in authority to get exemption? I'd be pleased to here from you. Mike Hi Michael,

I was interested in your mention of foreigners with gun club membership being exempt in some circumstances.

It’s a pain having to drag my Filipna wife off to St.Fay gun club every time I want to shoot, so I was wondering what you did different when you applied for your licences.

Did you see someone in authority to get exemption?

I’d be pleased to here from you.

Mike

I also cannot understand why the receipt is also being required despite having the driver's license. What's the use of Driver's License Number? I think Lto had been through with its computerization program. They can just verify from the computer if the license is valid or not by entering the license number.

I have been weighing whether or not my filipina wife should have a gun, and I think I have now made up my mind. Thanks for the reply. You have a point there with your last sentence.

However, there are many exceptions. Foreigners with gun club membership and PPSA (Philippine Practical Shooting Association) and/or IPSA (International Practical Shooting Association) memberships, are under certain circumstances exempt. Also, note that there are many Americans in The Philippines who openly carry fully automatic M-16s and other high-powered firearms, as well as other Americans who carry concealed sidearms perfectly legitimately, although they are usually associated with the USA military support against domestic terrorism in the Philippines, this is not ALWAYS the case. Any USA embassy attache can be issued a permit to carry. In addition, some Americans are given Confidential Agent ID’s by certain Philippinee government ageencies, as well as mission orders and government issued firearms. There was recently a ruling in the Philippines Supreme Court that stated that mission orders and confidential agent status alone, without specific license to carry permits does not allow a foreigner to carry a firearm. That is, even if you have Philippine Government issued IDs and carry mission orders, your firearm is not licensed to carry unless you are specifically given a license to carry. A license to carry is not necessary for certain USA military people, who have USA military ID. However, the penalty for illegally possessing or carrying a firearm is much less than the penalty of dying by not being unable to defend oneself. Correct and correct, however,
