Please post your conclusions. I would be very much interested in this as well.

There is a BBM Facebook Group. Perhaps it might be wise to join and ask your questions there also.

Thanks all for reply xD

Foreigners are prohibited from owning firearms in the Philippines. Filipino citizens can take training and apply for a permit to own a firearm,  but generally not to carry. It is meant to be kept in the home.

@pnwcyclist

What are the laws concerning target practice? Can you shoot your guns in the province? I mean not in town. Can you take them to a range? Are husbands allowed to shoot their wives legally owned guns? At home or at a range?

@Moab762

In the fraction of a second it took me to move my eyes from the end of line 2 to the start of line 3 I was actually thinking you were asking if it was legal for a husband to shoot his wife☹

@Moab762

Welcome to the forum, my understanding is that one can go to a public range and shoot their guns. I have not done so, although my woman has expressed an interest and there are a few ranges in our area, so maybe we will at some point. Yes, I believe you could shoot your wife's firearm at a range legally. That is my understanding.

As for shooting in the province, I would not consider doing that, as many of the provinces are quite densely populated, you just don't see it with all the jungle foliage and steep terrain. There are people everywhere, and if you go far enough out, you might run into some NPA, or those of a similar ilk. Or be mistaken for one and reported..

I personally do not want to end up dead or in a Philippines jail. There are many cultural differences between our country and our host country and misunderstandings easily arise - the presence of firearms could easily take that to a whole different  level.

So shooting your own legally owned guns on your own property (obviously not in a populated area - like say you owned a few hectares) is not a normal thing for Filipinos? Like it is in rural areas of the US?

Interesting about being able to shoot your wife's legally owned guns at a range. Does your wife have to show a certain process with the guns she buys? Or is it like a one time test or something?

@Cherryann01

Lol! Ya. "Can you give me the legal boundaries on shooting my wife?". Lol! Kidding of course. I did word that poorly.

I would say no, it's not a normal thing for Filipinos to shoot guns on their property, especially when compared to the rural US, which is gun crazy compared to most parts of the world. And I will also reiterate that there are people everywhere in the Philippines, even where you don't see them, so it would be dangerous to do so..

It's mostly jungle and it's mountainous.. and property "boundaries" are not really a thing - they walk  across our (very steep) property all the time as part of a shortcut to a road nearby, for example. And I can't say as I've ever heard gunshots (or had to worry about stray bullets) when hiking in the Philippines like I have in rural areas of the US.

Filipinos have to take training and pass a test before they can get a permit to own a firearm. I have no idea about the process beyond that, or owning multiple firearms.  If you enjoy the sport, I suggest you go to a shooting range and talk to them about it. While ubiquitous in the US, I have no idea if gun stores are even a thing here.

You did not word it poorly, just a coincidence where the start of line 2 ended and the start of line 3 began. If the word owned appeared at the end of the 2nd line, the thought would not have entered my head at all.

I have had this happen to me before, once if memory serves me correctly. During my Air Force days I was a humble clerk and for a while worked alongside a Sergeant called Bill Gregg who worked in the P1 section. That was the section that processed all the documents for the servicemen and women who had fallen foul of the various regulations and were to be charged. Bill handed me a charge sheet one day for a Junior Technician who worked on the fighter aircraft on one of the squadrons. This particular airman was not the sharpest tool in the box and Bill handed me the charge sheet to read for a laugh. After all the personal details came a description of what this guy had done and the reason for the charge. The last words typed on one page were that Junior Technician (then his name) had reversed a Landrover into a Jaguar. Jaguar was the last word on that page so before I turned the page I was thinking he had reversed into an Officers Jaguar Car, his pride and joy.  On turning the page it began Mark 2 fighter aircraft. The dozy sod had reversed the Landrover into a fighter aircraft somehow and not only that, he had hit the fuel tank and fuel was pouring out.

Just the way the words align themselves when typing sometimes. The Junior Technician involved was once charged for not wearing a shirt, just put his service issue jumper on and thought nobody would notice.
