A little far afield, but still a U.S.-administered territory. And
other overseas territories have similar laws.

Folks: I'm looking for an authoritative list of U.S. jurisdictions in
which legally /owning/ a handgun (not getting a license to carry, but
being able to legally own a handgun in one's home) is quite difficult
-- for instance, because there's a discretionary licensing scheme, a
long (more than a month) waiting period, a huge amount of hassle, or
very high fees (say, above $100). By way of comparison, I know
California is a relatively high-regulation jurisdiction, but when I
bought my handgun in the late 1990s, I basically had to wait 21 days
(I think), pay a relatively modest fee (I forget what it was), and
take a simple written test. I'm looking for jurisdictions that impose
considerably greater constraints than this.
I'm giving a talk on guns in America, and I wanted to draw a handgun
ownership laws map of the U.S. comparable to the right-to-carry laws
maps that we've all seen. I don't want to score any political points;
I just wanted to accurately and simply portray where handgun home
ownership is quite difficult and where it's not that difficult. Many
thanks for any help you can provide,
Eugene
