For those who have weapons legally or illegally, let me tell you that the latest "new weapon permit" is not as easy to get as in the past. It now takes an anti-doping urine test and a spychological screen by UASD psychologists to get the license. It is almost impossible to avoid. If you have any problems with passing a drug screen, this will get you. They have a fast-on the spot screening process where they place a test card in the plastic container with your urine and get the instant result for different substances. You will be required to attend a 45 minute workshop with UASD staff and a police officer to warn you about weapons abuse, laws, do*s and don*ts. You cannot avoid this anymore, unless Hippo sends one of his mafia people to help you.(a weakness in the system:you could bring a clean sample in your pocket, since nobody searches you at the test site. Wether the test system can spot cold as opposed to warm urine, I dont know)
The spychological screen is tricky and specially designed for weapon psychology. This is unlike psyche tests for jobs, but close enough. Questions are geared to spot umbalanced behavior and potential mental problems for carrying a weapon. If the psychologist who screens you feels they dont have enough information based on the interview, you will end up having to take a 200 question, two hour test with very tricky questions. You have to be an expert at passing psychological tests to fool this one. You would be placed alone in a spot where others can see you and a lot of pressure will be put on you to see if you can handle it.
The cost of obtaining the new permit has gone up. You can pay anywhere from $1500 pesos if you do it yourself to as much as $10,000 thru a weapons dealers. Please note that dealers will not give you protection after you get the license. They have a tendency to let you on your own, in case you have future problems, like getting caught in a "redada" or "operacion centella" where your weapon can be confiscated and take a lot of paper work and bribes to get it back with the license.
There is a new manual edited in 2002 with the new regulations.
Guns have gone up in price. For instance my newest toy, the ultra modern polymer frame CZ 110(from Ceska Zbrojovka) 9mm Luger with 13 cartridge magazine cost me $38,000 pesos with license. This beauty is so light you can place it in your back and never know you have a gun strapped(670 g) Compare that weight to a steel piece almost twice the weight.It has a cock indicator, fing pin safety with release button. You could carry this thing with a cartridge in the chamber safely. And is all black for night stealthness. Nobody will know you carry one until you see the barrel shooting a hole thru your head. In my opinion, this is better than the Glock, which is breaking down a lot. The new Glock with the semi-silencer is a beauty though. You can get one for $55,000. Glocks are too dangerous since they are always ready to fire and have no safety options.
