Extension of the Period for the Surrender and Licensing of Loose Firearms
Executive Order No. 390, issued on December 13, 2004, extends the deadline for the registration and licensing of loose firearms in the Philippines to September 30, 2005. This amendment to Executive Order No. 171, originally enacted on January 22, 2003, aims to encourage firearm holders to legalize their weapons and enhance the Firearms Ballistics Data Bank of the Philippine National Police. The extension is necessary due to previous limitations in implementing the original order and the impact of the COMELEC Gun Ban. The order allows for the utilization of funds from the registration process and repeals any conflicting regulations.
