90-day window to register firearms

OWNERS  of an unregistered firearm have a 90 day window to  set the record straight or  face seizure of their weapons.

Panama’s Ministry of Public Security has published an executive decree

in the Official Gazette, saying  that persons with unregistered firearms will have 90 days to apply for a permit. The applications must be accompanied by paperwork showing that the weapon was purchased legally.

Once the 90-day period expires, any unregistered firearm will be subject to seizure by the police.
