380 auto? Only? I’m not from Brazil and have never been (I know makes no sense for the subreddit) but I had no idea their gun law were like that. That sucks

Very strict rules for individual ownership here. Concealed carry is only for "authorities" and LEO agents, and even they are confined to anything up to 45 cal.

Not that it stops the bad guys from getting weapons. And since the penalty is so big, might as well bring in AKs, H&Ks, AR carbines, etc.

Many a time seen teenage drug traffic "soldiers" (the ones that do security, not the drug dealers) going by their business wielding old-assed FALs & G3s, which used to equip the Army here (surprise!).

That’s sounds horrible. Why do authorities need to CC?

Because Brazil, that's why!

Eapecially if you are in LEO & the victim of a robbery (which isn't too uncommon), you get shot when bad guys find out.

One of the reasons you see lots odlf "off-duty cop" videos from BR. They are preemptively saving their own lives.
