A check with the firearms registered with the Firearms and Explosives Division (FED) revealed that all of the young Jaworski’s firearms had expired licenses, except for an M-16 rifle.
Civil Security Group (CSG) director Chief Superintendent Jaime Caringal said he has ordered an investigation that would determine if the young Jaworski’s gun permits may be revoked once it is proven that he may have used any of the firearms registered under his name during the shooting incident last Monday night.
Caringal said he has directed FED chief Senior Superintendent Arturo Cacdac to lead the investigation.
"This will be based on the results of the probe and the recommendation of the FED chief," Caringal said.
Sources revealed that Ryan Joseph had 11 firearms under his name, including a caliber .25 Berretta; two caliber 9 mm Glock pistols; a 9 mm Glock pistol; a 9 mm Sigsr; three caliber .22 pistols; and a caliber 556 Colt M-16.
Only the Colt M-16, a high-powered rifle, had proper permits.
A check with the office of the Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Hermogenes Edbane Jr. said all of Jaworski’s firearms were not covered by Permit to Carry Firearms Outside of Residence (PTCFORs).
On orders of Malacañang, the PNP chief revoked all issued PTCFORs in January 2003 and limited the issuance to individuals whose lives were in imminent danger and those whose jobs had inherit risks to their lives.
The Supreme Court upheld the government’s move revoking the PTCFORs which is anchored on preventing crime caused by guns, and the improvement of peace and order situation in the country.
