Angel,
Would you please email me the answer when you get it? I have several
packed away and waiting to be shipped in our container and my
attorney has been very unclear on the proper answer. I know you can
buy certain guns at the armory once you have your residency but not
sure about what we can bring over ourselves. I am trying to get
answers on this too.
TIA, David.

> Angel. It's always interesting reading your posts. I read a lot
of articles about Honduras and check out several blogs. I was reading
some information yesterday on a government site about having
registered guns in honduras. It read that you were not allowed to
bring any handguns that shot a military round such as 45cal or 9mm.
Is that correct? My favorite is my 45 and second is my 9mm. It said
no rifles but shotguns were all alright. I believe it was you I spoke
to one time who's brother in law worked for the armoria. Can you give
me your opinion or information as to what firearms I could bring with
me If I were to move there. I enjoy shooting and have since I was a
kid and I am now 50. Not to mention I feel having one in the home is
just smart. Thanks in advance for any info.

were killed by unknown individuals, who could have been wearing
police-like clothing. I know some time(days) later the president flew
to the general area to present a plan of action to protect the
natural reserves there and even stayed overnight. I know the
president has taken a strong position over the protection of all
natural reserves.

one must be taking place. I do not know what type of new enforcement
or new regulations are been taken over the logging activities in
Olancho. These events have drawn the anger from the general
population and local environmental and HR groups. Logging companies
have a lot at stake here so it's not out of realm of possibilities
that this could happen if they felt in danger.

to develop a sustainable logging industry that takes renewable
resources and makes good use of land that could not be used for
anything else. It is a difficult balance to achieve. There's also
interest and concern about several hidroelectric power plant proyects
in that area, one side wanting to reduce the amount of electricity
required from fuel-burning plants and replacing or complementing it
with cheap power from water resources, and the other one concerned
about the impact to the environment that such proyects would have in
the local area where the construction and artificial lakes finally
take place. Again, difficult decisions to balance local impacts with
country-wide benefits.
