Rifle, Shotgun, Pistol information
kinda interesting, and the "no rifle" rule is particularly puzzling.
Here in the U.S. I could drive 5 minutes to Wal-Mart, buy any number of rifles, shot guns and ammo and it would take no more than 20 minutes.
To get a pistol here, I'd have to register and wait three days for clearance... and to be able to carry it (legally), I'd have to wade through more red tape than you could imagine... background check, police investigation, etc etc.
Different cultures.

Most of the politicians in power today were alive during the last coup d'?tat of 1963. It's cheaper to disarm the population than arm the military.
I will answer for lots of others; It is not a need. I am armed because it is my legal right. I am armed to protect myself, my family and perhaps you from becoming a victim of criminal violence. I have taken instruction in use of a personal protection handgun. I practice target shooting on a regular basis. The average person is unaware of how many people are victims of criminal violence every day. For example I try not to drive at night in the DR. If I have to drive at night I bring my gun, an extra magazine and a powerful flashlight. So far I have not needed the gun. I have carried a concealed weapon most of my adult life. Carrying my little friend gives me a warm comfortable feeling.
You too? Hmm, family discussions are requesting I have mine reactivated again which is way more expensive than having it deactivated in the first place, and I was kind of hoping my days of worrying about my loaded weapon were behind me, yet alone the aftermath of a once again loaded weapon, the peace of mind while carrying an unloaded weapon is great n all but hey, women, what can you do???
If I carried a loaded firearm here in the DR,I would be "On the street" for less than a week!
Wanna guess why????

But don't come to my home unannounced!
You might get to:,"Say Hello To My Leetal Frend"!

UMMMM... it takes a few months to empty out the magazine, soldier. Better do some target practice before you take that rifle into action. LOL
I hear it can also take some priming when it get reactivated which could be fun!
Yup. You can get those. Pricey, tho. Figure a couple of grand (nearly) for a Glock 19...again, if you can locate them.
