IIRC. aliens living in the Philippines have no gun rights. Your little island kingdom means diddly to the gubmint gunboat crew that shows up demanding taxes due.
Or to the pirate crew that shows up demanding baksheesh.
I’m staying in Texas, would never live in a foreign country. Not giving up my guns to live on a beach with China angry about 150 miles away and whatever other dangers are there.
There is a psychological tendency that when a situation is bad, the person thinks another place must be/has to be better, so they leave to go to another place. Every place has its dangers, and I figure Texas is the best place for me overall. I have traveled all over the world, and I’ve seen the best and the worst, and none is better than right here. Travel is highly overrated.
