I'm looking into what could be a long term position in Angola. I've not come up with very good information as to firearms acceptable to bring with me if I were to go. I'm sure there are things they don't allow just like everywhere else and possible limits as to number of firearms allowed along with.

Anybody have any ideas or should I call their police on the telephone? Can't see why I'd want to be there if I couldn't have some good hunting guns along.

Do you speak Portugese? There are a few people trying to reopen Angola to foreign hunters again. That's great but they are struggling with little to no infrastructure in the country and then there are the infamous landmines that still exist.

I would think you would have problems getting an extended stay paperwork for firearms. You could get a lot of this info from the US embassy in Luanda.

I speak Spanish, so I reckon I could learn Portugese. The possible job actually involves making land mines go away so I'd have a reasonably good idea of knowing where to hunt without blowing myself up, one would hope. Looks like a long term thing if I decided to do it.

Only thing I know for sure, as to Luanda bureaucratics, is I'll have to sign a promise not to work for any form of private security service or risk immediate deportation.

tom',

We are leaving on Saturday to do some fishing and filming in Angola one of the guys that is coming with us goes up and down Angola quite reguraly I could ask him.

Aparently people talk like it was like Mozambique 10-12 years ago and if it should grow like Moz it could be a good future to start something up there along the coast or hunting.

Unfortunately with the terrain I suppose charters for hunting will be a nessecity so be prepared to cough up fo that.

I'll be back around the 18th or 19th not sure exactly yet.
