Whoops, legal resident with 2 years is all it takes. You pay something like 1000 US with license for crap Saturday night special. But what the heck in the third world a Taurus handgun is top shelf!buseouno said:You must be a Dominican citizen or legal permanent resident with the proper papers after I believe, 5 or 7years, then you can legally own a gun.
The permit must be renewed yearly and has the gun serial # right on it as well as the owners picture so it can not to be transfered or carried by someone else.
Part of the permit process includes drug testing, psychological testing and some training, (though not enough).

We were told everywhere that the weapons must be purchased in the DR. And a 9mm is the largest caliber I have seen available to the public for a handgun.
