I love Panama and yes, you can own guns here easily once you've got your immigration status worked out. I've got a guy for that. This is a place that is 110% about WHO you know, not what.

The official currency is the US dollar, which is even kind of nice as it tanks because things are already so cheap and they have to keep the poor insulated, so inflation isn't really an issue in a country the entire world depends on for their economies (the Panama canal). You can have bank accounts here in any currency you desire, including euros, yuan, yen, pesos (a few different kinds), pounds, lira, etc. There's 180 international banks with offices here. This is the Switzerland of the Americas.

Crime's virtually non-existent, it's a party culture, you're a quick, cheap flight from anywhere in the Caribbean, Central or South America and 3 hours to Miami, 4 1/2 to NYC, etc. There's tons of smoking hot latinas and more and more types of women from all over the world all the time.

Cars and trucks are easy and are not taxed hard. Credit's a bitch if you don't prepare well or bring enough cash, but there's ways around anything if you want it bad enough.

I moved here 2 1/2 years ago because I saw the writing on the wall for the US. I'm a Marine and I love my country, but that doesnt' mean I want to sit around and smell the shit everybody else is choosing to stick their heads in to ignore what's going on around them. I'll give the country 10 years or so to fall apart, then re-build itself and just hope that they get it right or at least closer to kind of, maybe a little more right this time.
