Winwyn Marquez is working on her marksmanship skills—but wants her followers to know that having a gun is not so one can look “cool.”
Marquez, who has been training under the Philippine Naval Reserve Command, posted photos of her on Instagram learning how to handle a gun.
The actress shared a photo of her learning marksmanship during a gun-safety training on Monday, Sept. 28, where she gave a word of warning to anyone who wants to use guns.

“Know the basic principles of gun safety by heart,” she wrote, and cited gun safety guidelines such as handlers being “strongly discouraged from playing or toying with firearms” and that “firearms are inherently dangerous and must always be stored carefully and handled with care.”
