A simple gunshot residue test will show if was holding the firearm when it was discharged.

It's scary that they never mention how he got the gun in the first place...

Yeah, too young to die of a gunshot wound in the ear, or by any other method. RIP

Are guns becoming more accessible and acceptable in Cambodia? When I first came here there was not much of anything you could do that was worse (penalties, jail, deportation) than being caught with a gun and/or using one. There were even very strict regulations for police having a gun.

Gun is originally designed as a blank firing gun. Someone (illegally) converted it to fire real rounds.

I think the criminal brothers in China city are to thank for the influx of shiny new firearms. I believe they are punished by deportation for 3 years, then return to the Kingdom of Wonder after that.

As opposed to a stint in Prey Sar for any foreigner or local caught brandishing or using a firearm.

Except if the local is a drunk cop, military, or okhna.

Most illegal firearms come from Thailand these days. Knowing about China's social credit system, I don't believe these criminals will ever be returning.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
