How do I legally import and carry my gun in Guatemala as a US Citizen? Yes, you can. Solid info is scarce.? |
Travel Info I'm trying to get solid, reliable, correct, and undisputable info as to how to legally import and carry my handgun while on vacation in Guatemala. Yes, I know 100% for sure, it is legal, but even the Guatemalan Consulate here in D.C. is rather incompetent at best when it comes to knowing their own laws and being helpful/accurate in what they say. Please reply only if you've "been there done that" or can speak with authority. Thanks so much! -- Jeep Travel Tips My brother-in-law has taken his gun to Guatemala, but I'm not sure what procedure he went through. If you are a U.S. Citizen, your best bet to get a definite answer is to email the U.S. Embassy at this email address. AmCitsGuatemala@State.Gov Others Contact the airline you are traveling on. Ask them. what would you do with a gun in guatemala?! i don't think you should post that question up here, i mean, unless you wanna get caught with a gun.. loll sorry, i'm no help.. lmao (= I have never been, but I was looking online and I found a website for you. www.gautemalaweb.com/1/securit... I think that will help you out as far as knowing the law to being able to carry your gun without a problem. Take care and have a safe trip. www.guatemalaweb.com you can check in these websites www.visitguatemala.com www.minex.gob.gt www.inguat.gob.gt www.pnc.gob.gt or tell the embassy to ask DECAM if you can take your gun with you. I am so sorry about the lack of information they have in the Consulate...... please accept my apologize as a Guatemalan citizen. I only traveled into Guatamala by vehicle from Belize and they never searched me or my cousin that I was with or the vehicle. We didn't have a gun tho, which was pretty stupid, because Guerrillas tried to get us to stop for a guy they had lying in the road so they could ambush us. We swerved around him and got out of there tho, but you're wise to want your gun with you. I know of a few people who have traveled to Guatamala and had problems with Guerrillas trying to shoot them. Some of them even got a little gutsy and came into Belize where I used to live and started kidnapping girls for ransom. |
