How do I get a gun permit in Puerto Rico?
Since the Puerto Rico Weapons Act (Act 168-2019), a single firearms license issued by the Puerto Rico Police authorizes both possession and carry — there is no longer a separate carry permit. Applicants must generally be at least 21, pass state and federal background checks, and have no disqualifying convictions. A lawyer can prepare the application, gather the required documents, and address issues that could otherwise cause a denial.
What can I do if my weapons license application is denied?
A denial can be reviewed. Depending on the reason, a lawyer can request reconsideration from the issuing authority and, if that fails, seek judicial review in the Court of First Instance. Common grounds for denial — an old or misclassified record, or an administrative error — can often be corrected with the right documentation.
Can I lose my gun permit after a criminal charge or a protective order?
Yes. A firearms license can be suspended or revoked when the holder is charged with certain crimes or becomes subject to a domestic-violence protective order under Law 54, and firearms may have to be surrendered while the matter is pending. A lawyer can advise on your obligations, seek return of your license when a case is resolved in your favor, and represent you in related proceedings.
