A couple of years ago, an expat friend of mine left the DR for good.
He owed me some money, but instead of paying me back in cash he gave me his Walther PPK. I'll never know how he managed it, but the gun was licensed in his name even though he didn't have his residency. He had a pet General do it for him.
I already have a legal 9mm registered in my name, but my missus has taken an interest in the Walther because it's nice and small and she could fit it in her purse. She wants to learn how to handle a firearm and wants to come with me next time I go to the poligano.
I know that it is a serious offence to be caught with an unlicensed weapon here, so it never leaves the house.
My expat friend is now long gone, living in Spain, never to return. There are no papers to reflect the change of ownership and I don't have his previous license.
Is there any way I could get it licensed to my Dominican missus?
