Competitors traveling to Aruba must comply with the mandatory firearm handling procedures established by Aruba’s law enforcement authorities.
Under local regulations, competition firearms may not be taken to any residential location, hotel, or other accommodation. Upon arrival at the airport, all firearms must be declared at Customs, tagged, and immediately surrendered to the designated Pan American Championship officials.
After landing, competitors will be guided to the official firearms processing area, where authorities will secure all firearms for the duration of the stay. Firearms will only be released for approved match activities and strictly in accordance with the Pan American Championship protocols on competition days.
