With the current controversy regarding the appointment of the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who will succeeed CJ Reynato Puno we speculate if the next Chief will be PROGUN or not. The front runners for the position of Chief Justice are Justices Antonio Carpio and Renato Corona.
BOTH are shooting enthusiasts and PRO-GUN.
Justice Carpio is widely seen at AFAD Gun Shows in Megamall. An avid shooter, Justice Carpio was in charge of the firearms training program for judges, who are now given special assistance in purchasing and carrying guns for personal protection by the Supreme Court. He carries a Glock 26.
Justice Renato Corona is likewise known as a gun enthusiast. Story has it that he carries an M16 in his vehicle and always goes armed. He was the author of the Pro-gun decision of IGMIDIO MADRIGAL VS. PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, which is cited in the legal forum of this site.
So, either which way, we are assured of a PRO-GUN Chief Justice.
Care to file any petitions anyone? 🙂
Finally, some hopeful news 🙂
Hopefully, yes this will speel good times for gun owners, should be need to bring a case up to the Supreme Court. The overall mood is still anti-gun but it’s good to know that at least we have some allies.
