Buying a Gun In Argentina

[Conrad2014]

I usually don't carry a gun, but I plan to live in Argentina at least 5 months out of the year, can an American but a hand gun in Argentina?

I did some research for you.

Here's the process (Source - http://expat-argentina.blogspot.com/2005/10/gun-ownership-in-argentina.html)

Pass a psychological test
Provide fingerprints and proof of no criminal records
Pass a shooting test
Provide an income statement
Present your DNI and fill out an application form
In 20 days the government gives you a license as a gun user
With your license, you can then purchase a firearm.
There is a 15 day waiting period while the serial number of your gun is matched to your gun user's license number in a central database. Anonymous gun ownership is not permitted. All guns are registered.
After this 15 day waiting period, you can take your gun home and the process is finished.
