One of the Biggest Problems in the DR is GUNS, in the wrong hands..
And I know this sounds strange coming from an extremely PRO 2nd Amend person, lifetime NRA.. and the DR is a sovereign Nation and can do as they Please..
But NO where I have traveled to , have I been " shown" pistolas ( illegal of course) by Tigueres who want to either intimidate or impress, more than in the DR.
I can understand the Car Wash guy showing off his Glock as he is literally bending down washing the dirt off my Car in Samana, he has a business to protect. ok, i sort of get it.
But when some Motoconcho POS literally pulls up his shirt to show his pistola, cuz he thinks you disrespected him in some way ,that is some 3rd World Sh** I do not want to deal with.
These Clowns need to be reigned in, big time.. Where else do you see this except maybe Mexico and South A Counties which are totally out of control, yet they also CLAIM to have " strict gun laws"..
So it they are serious about " cleaning up" anything .. figure out a plan for that.
