Illegal discharge of firearms (Feature)
It is illegal to fire weapons in public places. Nevertheless, according to officials guns are often fired in Phnom Penh and in some provinces, mostly in entertainment clubs and beer gardens.

These illegal shootings not only frighten people but also lead to lawlessness and insecurity in society. Is the law on weapons control strong enough to punish those who illegally fire guns? What can relevant authorities do to stop these shootings that violate the law?
