Armed Self-Defense - International Edition

From the Philippines. Manila Bulletin - Man hurt after being shot by homeowner during robbery in Antipolo

A man was injured after being shot by the homeowner whose house he was allegedly robbing in Antipolo, Rizal on Friday, Feb. 6.

I would like to say that this sounds pretty good, but the Philippines seems to share views on self-defense with Canada.

The suspect is now in police custody and is facing robbery charges, while the victim has also been arrested for frustrated homicide.

Authorities said further investigation is ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting, including the legality of the firearm’s use.

Still, it sounds like the jury may still be out.

And whatever the governments of Canada and The Philippines believe, self-defense is a human right.
