Hey everyone, I'm planning a trip to the Bahamas soon and was wondering about their firearm laws. Can tourists or even residents legally own or possess firearms there? If so, what's the process for getting a permit or license, and are there any specific restrictions I should be aware of? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

That's a really good question! I've also wondered about that, especially with all the travel happening these days. I don't personally know the specifics for the Bahamas, but it's always tricky navigating different country's laws. Hopefully, someone with direct experience can chime in. I'll be following this thread closely!

Thanks for the replies, everyone! It sounds like we're all pretty much in the same boat, wondering about the specifics. It really can be a maze trying to figure out these laws when traveling.
Has anyone actually gone through the process of getting a permit or license in the Bahamas, or knows someone who has? I'm particularly interested in hearing about real-world experiences or if there are any official Bahamian government resources that clearly outline this for tourists or new residents. Any concrete information would be super helpful!
