The prices in the Philippines for a quality firearm are outrageous compared to what most are used to.
Fewer (quality) weapons to choose from (make, caliber, etc)
There are many, too many, junky weapons available, but when my life, or the life of my wife, depends on flawless functioning in a split second, I\'ll rely on models and calibers I\'m familiar with. JMHO
OldManBill:
I know that only you wife can legally own a firearm, but what about other weapons? Cutting and piercing weapons, bows, knives, etc? Blunt weapons, bats and mace like weapons?

If your family enjoys playing softball, an aluminum bat might be laying around the house...
But...
Best leave bashing some criminal to the Filipinos, cuz ya might not wish to enjoy dancing to thriller in orange jammies in the Philippine justice system until they figure out you were justified in your actions...

That would be the main problem with me moving to RP. I tend to act first and think second when it comes to the safety of me and mine. Im just not wired to stand around while some thugs do ungodly things to the people I love. Im more of a \"kill em all and let God sort them out\" kind of guy. Its looking more and more as if the Philippines isnt in my future.

I switched from bow/rifle/shotgun hunting to spear fishing in the early 90s - it\'s got all the stalking elements of limited range hunting you\'ll ever need
