I'm considering retirement in Sandangan Zamboanga Phillippines primarily for the cost of living and possible marriage to a local. What is the risk of getting my butt shot of in this area. I'm a military veteran and am well versed in hand to hand combat and weapons. What are the laws for foreigners and guns for self defense. So far my research tells that it's the equivalent to the Wild West , I realize theirs a risk factor , however if allowed to carry a weapon I'll check out on my own terms.
Please advise.
