Guns in Mexico
Unlike in Germany, you can legally own firearms in Mexico.
Similar to the United States, the right to own weapons is enshrined in the constitution.
In purely formal terms, everyone can have a handgun for self-protection, as the Handelsblatt reports.
However, the legal acquisition is linked to some conditions.
For example, a faultless certificate of good conduct must exist for this.
In addition, possession is only permitted within one's own premises, according to the Handelsblatt.
However, there is only one store in the whole country that sells firearms.
In addition to this, there is probably a flourishing black market.
* Trigger warning: scenes of a (staged) violent kidnapping can be seen.
