Guns in Costa Rica – Concealed carry permits

[rfalves]

I read somewhere that thee is a class in or near San Josa that gives classes that will fulfill all the requirements to get a permit. I can not find that info anymore. I thought that I printed that info out. Does anyone know about the school or class. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

There are a few places to do this …

The indoor range that’s probably easiest for you to find that gives these courses is [ http://poligonocdc.com/ ] which is about 600M away from Pizza Hut offices in Pavas which is about 1KM away from the US Embassy in Pavas.

To get a license to carry ‘permiso de portacíon’ – you do need to be a legal resident of Costa Rica.

PS. And yes! They do give the courses in English as well as Spanish.

I believe, I read somewhere, not sure, that you may only have and carry a handgun up to .45 caliber. Can anyone provide input?

I guess that would rule out my 454 Casull; but hey a .45 will surely do the job.:lol:

The .45 will surely take care of any job, that needs to be done. I carried one during two tours of Vietnam and other assignments. The weapon never let me down, not to mention stopping power. I still own a 1911A1 for emotional reasons.

If there’s enough interest from our VIP Members in the San Jose area, I would be happy to arrange a trip to the range for some practise and maybe lunch afterwards?

If you are interested, please click on the email link below and let me know…

PS. They have weapons for rent there too including a Kalashnikov which was a fun treat for my son (see photo) when he was here in January….

Scott,

Do they rent full auto, and is the range full auto capable; or, is it strictly semiauto firing? Do they sell cheaper reloads for firing on the range?

[Andrew]

Yes they sell reloaded ammunition…
