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.
I believe, I read somewhere, not sure, that you may only have and carry a handgun up to .45 caliber. Can anyone provide input?
As a USC naturalized citizen, I am not sure how it works in Canada or the country you were born in. In my case, I have a German birth certificate, with English translation. I will have to request that the department of registry in my German birth town reissue another certified birth certificate; which must then be authenticated by the Costa Rican consulate in Germany. You may want to contact the department of registry or whatever it is called in your birth city and request a certified copy of your birth certificate.
Having traveled throughout central and south america on military business, my opinion is that Costa Rica is the safest; that is also why I will be retiring there. Even though the DEA and CIA still conduct operations in Costa Rica, ever see some funny looking unmarked planes at the Liberia airport? Once upon a time, we had considered retiring to Mexico, however, with the drug cartel war, government, military, and police corruption, Vietnam during the TET offensive would be safer.
Thanks to everyone for the information. Fortunately, I have relatives in Germany to assist me. I have already contact two different C.R. attorneys, and was provided with two different approaches.
DavidCMurray,
Thanks for your comment, I was hoping for a more productive response. I am a legal assistant with 30 years of experience, I like to do my own leg work.
aguirrewar,
Thanks for the information, it was greatly appreciated. I was informed that VA will pay medical costs for service-connected disability(s)in Costa Rica , upon a claim for such medical services.
David,
What have you not been satisfied with in terms of the books about moving and living in Costa Rica? Was the information outdated or nonfactual? I rely on this website and books for my Costa Rica relocation research.
Floyd,
Like yourself, I am also a disabled vet and plan on retiring to Costa Rica. I’m not sure if I can indicate a great book, I have purchased about retirement in Costa Rica, on this site. Well here goes, Christopher Howard, “The new golden door to retirement and living in Costa Rica. The information in this book is priceless. It also contains information on disabled vets and VA reimbursed medical care in Costa Rica.
