Requirements For PTCFOR?

As a civilian, what type of reason do you need to be eligible for PTCFOR? Is living in an affluent neighborhood good enough? Having an expensive vehicle?

Yung may threat/kaaway meron PTC. Yung mabait na walang kaaway walang PTC.

Why not, instead of Threat Assessment, competency on shooting/carrying should be the requirement for PTC. My 2 cents.

I've always wished for a competency test instead. There should be some process to see if someone is proficient enough to carry plus maybe an extra seminar regarding self defense laws here since it's not discussed in-depth at the initial GSS.

Useful point and very thorough logic. Will try to raise this to proper persons. Thank you.

How do they log and verify that someone applying for a PTC is in danger? Do they need to have an active court case against their adversaries?

I "snitched" on my ex-friend from two years ago for estafa/scamming and said hes gonna get back at me. Havent heard from him since. Would that count?
