hold a gun licence or have applied for one. The project is a first of its sort,
and it comes on the heels of the government's recent decision to allow local
governments to slaughter crop-invading wild boars.

shooters after the new directive to empower local agencies went into effect,
and stated they were compelled to seek police assistance. There were also a few
occurrences involving unintentional firing.
