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

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.
