One year and 1 month today I have not competed in my #1 passion: IPSC shooting.
The agencies tasked to issue licenses, transport & carry permits, for reasons beneficial
to I don’t know who else, aside from the government coffers, made it ultra difficult
to secure any of the above. And this is to the painstakingly laborious hardships of
licensed and responsible gun-owners.
Competitions and field matches waned barest to nil.
Every shooter scampered for whosoever could aid him/her secure the needed permits.
And since there were no matches here, said issuances will be to compete abroad.
The firearms industry suffered. Gunsmiths had nothing to build and/or repair and/or modify.
Gun stores existed like funeral parlors, so silent, gloomy, no clients at all until lay-offs ensued.
The main “battlecry” of the “promotors” (the sponsors of the “action” taken)
is: TO CONTROL CRIMINALITY.
Was it curved?
Read the papers. The truth shouts eloquently.
Suppressed was the LEGAL possession-ownership-carrying.
CRIMINALS all-over + the now famous riding in tandem operated, and still are,
as if cops are ALL in deep slumber.
The bad guys are so brave knowing the LEGAL GUN-owners are NOW un-armed
and cannot, will not, could not even protect their lives, limbs, families & properties.
I strongly urge readers…read the Philippine news dailies.
I’m not an old guy in tantrums.
I am a semi bald, thinking man, using my head.
I hope you guys do.
I MISS YOU…I mean I miss to fire you out.
…meantime, back to golf & biking…until the hard headed “tops” are out of power.

I miss firing my 38 super Open Division pistol (“Diana”) as it was stolen, along with other valuables,
by “akyat bahay gang” (hard-core syndicated forced entry house robbers).
Built above (“Maja”) which is my Classic Division Single Stack 9mm match ready darling.
QUESTION TO HEADS OF AGENCIES: (whosoever you may be)
WHY DON’T YOU HELP US
SO WE CAN HELP YOU?
