Firearms and firearm regulation in North America: Mexico

Article 10 of the Mexican constitution says that residents have the right to possess arms in their homes for security and legitimate defense, with the exception of arms prohibited by federal law and those reserved for the exclusive use of the Army, Navy, Air Force and National Guard.

It also says, however, that Federal law will determine the cases, conditions, requirements and places in which the carrying of arms will be authorized, and in practice, the civilian ownership of firearms has been relatively tightly restricted (Sánchez, 2007a).
