Thank you Mike, I knew they were official guns. Just highlighting the issue here. Many of the people, showing off, their gun are off-duty officiales, basically anybody that falls under what is called the internal and external defense forces in whatever capacity. Not only police, but also firemen and members of the judicial branches. Sometimes people have honorary or voluntary positions.
This is not limited to the usual suspects, as even I was offered an honorary position that would allow me to carry.
What I'm trying to say is that many people are allowed to carry on- and off duty and I believe that will continue to be the case for the future.
yes, of course
and there are many many private persons who have gun carriage permits, too, MANY! i don't know how many firearms the DR has registered per Capita, but i expect such number to be very high.
