[b]scottsmail[/b]why don’t you wait to post your comments until you are actually living here, and thieves and worse have broken into your home?
Yes, we have live here long enough to have been robbed 4 times, our dogs poisoned and left dead on our doorstep. Also long enough to legally purchase guns to protect our home if necessary.
We would much rather just take them outside and use them on our ‘practice range’ and let others in the vicinity that we do have them.

Moonbanks has made valid points and observations with which I agree. I would prefer to have the option of keeping a firearm in my CR home, but it is certainly not a deal breaker as far as living in this country. I do not have great fears about my safety in CR so far.
Those of you who feel strongly that you require a gun or guns for protection may be living in the wrong area. Or maybe it is just a another case of fearful american culture being transposed to the Tico culture.
While we did, as a Rentista and through a SA purchase ‘arms’ in the past, I never thought to check out if it is now illegal for us to have them?
Or just not allowed to purchase more?
And if we had occasion to use them?
