I. Firearms Licensing Requirements and Restrictions on Use

The issuance, withdrawal, and revocation of licenses for firearms permitted under Law No. 394 are the prerogative of the Minister of the Interior. The chiefs of security in the provinces act on the Minister's behalf in licensing firearms, while local police chiefs issue permits to possess "white weapons," such as bayonets, daggers, lances, switchblades, and pointed canes. The chiefs of security also have the authority to decide which types of firearms will be licensed and the duration of the license. Normally, permits are issued for three-year periods and are renewable for three-year periods. Tourists, however, are issued temporary permits to carry firearms for six-month periods. [Articles 2–4].

All permits are personal; Law No. 394 prohibits the transfer of weapons and firearms to persons who are not licensed to acquire or own weapons and firearms. [Article 3].
