[Editor's Note: After reviewing available legislation and other source documents, GunPolicy.org found no evidence of a provision in law to regulate this aspect of firearm policy. As some authorities enforce restrictions only in practice, the mere absence of a published legal provision should be treated with caution.]
[Nota del Editor: Después de revisar la legislación y otros documentos disponibles, GunPolicy.org no encontró evidencia de que exista un precepto legal que regule este aspecto. Teniendo en cuenta que algunas autoridades aplican restricciones solo en la práctica, la simple ausencia de un precepto legal en las publicaciones se debe tratar con prudencia, especialmente en el campo académico.]
