The government has reversed a long-standing ban on issuing permits for legally carrying firearms, marking a significant shift in national gun policy after years of restrictions. The decision comes as part of broader discussions on public safety and individual rights, though details on how the change will be implemented remain unclear. Advocates and critics alike are expected to weigh in on the potential impacts of the move, which could reshape enforcement and access to firearms across the country. The reversal follows a period of strict limitations on firearm permits, raising questions about its immediate effects on law enforcement and civilian gun ownership.
President Abelardo de la Espriella has lifted a decade-long suspension on permits to carry legal firearms.
