I traveled to PR earlier this year.

Here is AAA Armory in San Juan.













Had no problem carrying in PR.



Here is one of the outdoor ranges. Armeria 3T Shooting Club, over on the Northeast end by Rio Grande.

They were in the process of rebuilding and expanding after Hurricane Maria.














Gun shops are all over the island. They're so common, the shops hang their signs on traffic and telephone poles.

This gun shops was in Ponce on the south central end of the island.





They really like Freedom down there.



Random pictures from all over the island I took.

School me on the gun laws in PR.  Looks like a nice selection in that shop.

Better laws than half of the USA.

Also, better stocked than some of the state-side stores I've been to lately.

A la Modies.

That's the most ammo I've seen in a store in over a year.

Must have a permit to own which is their CCW permit too and it is shall issue. No mag and firearm type ban. Permit must be issued in 30 days. Also, SBRs and SBSs are not a title II firearm. The NFA cannot be enforced in PR due to tax policy. They gave reciprocity and I had no issue carrying.

Like traffic laws in San Juan, range rules are more like suggestions. In reality, I asked the range owner.

I do love the musty old gun shops that have deep bins you can dig around in for obscure parts and accessories, but a really neat looking, organized shop like that is also a pleasure to shop in.

Since they are a territory with no representation in Congress, it has to do with no taxation without representation.

If i recall, you are current or former LE. Did that factor in for the reciprocity, or could non-LE permit holders in the US also acquure reciprocity?

The Jones Act affects shipping to the island? Sounds like a business opportunity if a burgeoning new ammo manufacturer could fend off the socialist vampires. PR is in need of industry.
