Is it a safe place to raise a family? Can you own a gun?

Jamaica is relatively safe. It's just like any other country in the world, certain communities have more crime than others.

I am not sure if you can legally own a gun. You can do your research on that.

Not many people here have guns. If I would guess maybe around 15 to 20 percent of the population have a gun in their possession and that percentage maybe less.

and People here don't bother you unless you bother them, no one here goes on a random killing spree, it is always targeted to a specific person or group.
