Just kidding!

A bit of too much info perhaps? Or is this a product endorsement?

Look at Bud's post above. Copy of his biz card. No English. Best to Whats App him.

Firearm permit card? Now that is terrific! This from El Vistante: HOME | CREDITS | SUBSCRIBE | OTHER EDITIONS | SEARCH | CONTACT [ Advertisements ] [ Pacific Tides ] [ Map ] [ Classifieds ] Special Articles Legal obtainment of firearms By: Steven Rich, Marketing Manager for Panama Offshore Legal Services (507) 227 – 6645 www.pos-inc.com marketingposi@yahoo.com Americans seem obsessed with owning guns. Their Constitution even has a clause for the “Right to Bear Arms”. Comedians claim this clause actually referred to a common practice back in the 1770’s to owning bear claws they could hang above their fireplace. Whatever the interpretation, Americans often ask what are Panama’s laws regarding owning guns and carrying concealed weapons? Here are the basic requirements to buying guns and obtaining a gun permit for a pistol, rifle or shotgun (the first seven apply to Panama citizens and foreigners): 1. Fill in a basic data form for the Ministry of Justice. 2. Supply two copies of the purchaser’s cedula (national ID card). 3. Provide three photos (carnet size) of front face. 4. Take a psychological examination specifically for carrying weapons. 5. Take a dope test for marijuana and cocaine. 6. Present yourself to the Ministry of Justice for fingerprinting. 7. Take a DNA exam at the Institute of Legal Medicine in Clayton (City of Light) open Monday - Friday 8 am to Noon or 1 pm to 4 pm 8. Foreigners also need a copy of their Work Permit (if applicable), a copy of the Commercial License for their business (if applicable), passport copy, and a copy of their permanent resident carnet. Note: Tourists and temporary residents cannot purchase guns or apply for a concealed weapons permit. There are only three gun stores in Panama City. The gun store collects the permit fees including $22 for 2 years up to $55 for 5 years. The gun store will also fire three rounds from each gun and send them to the Ministry of Justice for future ballistic testing in solving crimes along with the guns, transfer of ownership certificate and payment receipt. Guns are not cheap in Panama. Expect to pay at least twice as much as the same gun in the U.S. Panama is not the Wild West and the right to bear arms doesn't figure in the constitution, but if you really want a gun, here's how to go about it. P.S. A pepper spray is good, too. Patience is learned in Panama. The waiting period from the time you complete your application to receiving approval from the government so the gun store can give you the gun is around 4 to 6 months for citizens and 6 to 8 months for foreigners. The reason for the delay is for the national police to perform a criminal records check. The Interpol desk which checks out the foreigner’s international criminal record causes the extra 2-month delay for foreigners. Wild, Wild West is not the reality in Panama. Even with a gun permit, you cannot carry guns into banks, government offices, the airport, and other public places. If you sell your gun to another person, you take a big risk of being arrested if the gun is used in the commission of a crime or the ballistic test shows that one of your bullets ends up inside of a dead body. Panama law requires that before selling a gun to another person, he/she must fulfill the abovementioned requirements. You must send the Ministry of Justice copies of the bill of sale, payment receipt, the gun and three bullets fired from your gun (if the Ministry of Justice cannot find them), a copy of your gun permit, a copy of your passport and permanent residence ID. Failure to do this makes you legally responsible for whatever crimes committed with the gun. Pepper spray is another option. You cannot buy mace here, but gun stores sell powerful pepper spray bought over the counter for around $15 with no waiting period or ID required. I have had to use my small can (easily concealed in my fist and good for 25 sprays) twice over the past 10 years. I have never seen a grown thief cry in pain so hard after getting one spray in the eyes (effective up to 10 feet). Happy hunting!

Very informative. As long as the 1% are in charge and the masses remain silent nothing will change. Unfortunately!

And how where the hot dogs?

Never heard of that brand. How big is the bag and how much? They have good reviews on Google. https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/triumph-dog-food-dry/

We, as well as several neighbors, use Abraham all the time to clean our cars. His work is excellent! He comes to your house. He has a menu of options so confirm his charges before he starts.

Yes....the dog biscuits!! They have been out for a while.

I saw them at Conway last year. Not sure of the pack/size. Second floor in the pet section.

Sassy Blake, Can you inquire if Price Smart can stock this? https://www.dogfoodinsider.com/kirkland-signature-mature-dog-formula/ Thank you!

Interesting. Presently there is a ban on harvesting shrimp in Panama: https://playacommunity.com/panama-articles/coronado-community/7137-shrimp-fishing-restrictoins-.html Wonder where they are getting the shrimp from?

Pretty interesting site. Everything you would want to know about the countries #1 rum. They produce a lot more than rum. Big importers of wine. http://www.ronabuelopanama.com/history/?lang=en The sister web site has a lot of information as well. They are open for tours. Would be cool to check it out! http://www.varelahermanos.com/es/

That is still a good deal. Bet you can find a hotel that will not charge you for parking.

Lots of hotel offers on Gustazo's an Oferta Simple this week!

Yes indeed! If you don't have a smartphone get a cheap disposable camera and keep it in your car!

Doug, That is a great question. How can one claim that their shrimp is organic as opposed to wild caught shrimp? I do not think there are any shrimp "fast food meal plans" in the ocean.

We have dived in Panama waters. Although the diving can be good (restricted to dry season) we would not classify it as exceptional. The cost of two tank dives is higher in Panama than a lot of other diving locations. To get the best bang for the buck: visibility and sea life you are better off trying these places: https://www.scubatravel.co.uk/topdiveslong.html Of course, your diving milage may vary!

She is in Hospital Mae Lewis FYI.

Price Smart usually has it. In the deli section.

Multibank has a lot of fees! Charge if you forget your ATM password if you lost your card, yearly fee for FATCA, etc! We dropped them and went with Banco General. Took an hour to open an account. It took 3 days when we opened our account with Multibank.
