Not much self defense news from Guyana, but if you have an "in" with the local constabulary, it looks like you can "borrow" a revolver.

I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes
When you put me on the Wolverine
Up to Annandale
It was still September
When your daddy was quite surprised
To find you with the working girls
In the county jail
I was smoking with the boys upstairs
When I heard about the whole affair
I said oh no
William and Mary won’t do
Well I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And I’m never going back
To my old school
