What are the key changes in the amended Philippine Firearms Law (RA 10591)?

The gun ban period is reduced to 45 days, and PTCFOR holders gain more flexibility in firearm selection.

Can I now carry firearms concealed anywhere in the Philippines under the new law?

The amendments permit concealed carry in any method, not just bag carry, as long as the firearm is concealed. This includes Inside the Waistband (IWB) carry. However, the law requires presidential signature and the development of IRR by the PNP before it is fully implemented.

Who is exempted from the threat assessment requirement under the new Philippine gun law amendments?

Allied medical professionals, including nurses, doctors, dentists, medtechs, and radiological technicians, are now exempted from the threat assessment requirement. Additionally, AFP reservists have also been permanently exempted.

When will the amendments to RA 10591 take effect in the Philippines?

The amendments have passed the House and await presidential signature. After signing, or if it lapses into law, the PNP will develop the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR). The entire process is estimated to take a minimum of 60 days, with potential further delays for IRR development.
