You can carry a gun if you are licensed by ... a coupla ministries.

Carrying it legally is a whole different thang.

Yes, a foreigner can carry a gun here unpopular to 440 idiots, if they have the correct paperwork.

So ... yes, you can.

I was not looking for anything, merely quoting relevant Cambodian Law, with appropriate reference

Gun Ownership and Possession
In Cambodia, no civilians may lawfully acquire, possess or transfer a firearm or ammunition http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/cambodia
