You and most others don't get it. If you do not live in your "home country" then you, as an x-pat are a guest. That is the host country has laws. YOU may not like them or agree with them but they are the laws. Those, and it appears that many e-pats, don't feel the need to follow the law and regulation of their new home. I guess that you are JUST SO MUCH smarter? I've stated that i HAVE gun. A legal gun. I've followed the Dominican Republic law to own and carry that gun. I have all my papers in order for everything. YOU don't... I hope you get caught. Tired of you smarter and better then everyone else gringos.
