First things first: There’s a gun ban in place until Nov 12.
But soon after the ban is lifted, gun aficionados should check out the 21st Defense & Sporting Arms Show at the SMX Convention Center of the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. The show runs from Nov 14 to 18, 2013.
“The Association of Firearms and Ammunition Dealers (AFAD) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) will open a one-stop-shop for processing applications of Permit-to-Carry Firearms Outside of Residence at the venue,” reports Manila Standard Today.
The services include a neuro-psychiatric exam to be administered by PNP Health Services, as well as the issuance of the Directorate for Investigation clearance and the National Bureau of Investigation clearance. Then there’s a drug test to be conducted by the Crime Laboratory. There will also be a gun safety seminar given by the Civil Security Group and the PNP Firearms and Explosives Office.
