Personal Protection?

12 years ago

Hello. Even though I am from Idaho, I'm not a neo-Nazi or a gun nut. I was wondering, however, if guns, mace or tazers are allowed to be owned by individuals in Panama? And, if so, when/where can they be carried?

If you want to know the truth I may want one for snakes. My husband and I are avid hikers and my new neighbors on a Pacific playa have told many snake stories. I've even seen a dead fer-de-lance. Snakes will not dissuade me from moving to Panama, and I would only use a weapon if threatened, but if need be I prefer to "dispatch" it from a distance.

Thank you, Kim
