    A handgun can only be owned in one’s personal name, if you have Residency status, or are a Costa Rican citizen, with the proper permitting. Likewise, to carry a handgun, a special permit to carry is required, which includes a psycological test, and is also restricted to Residents or citizens. Visitors may possess a handgun by way of having it owned by their Costa Rica corporation, but no permit to carry the handgun is possible.

    Why would you want a hand gun in Costa Rica in the first place?

    You would use the handgun to shoot someone who was threatening you or your family. Any questions?
