Abstract

This title project will be about the Legal Analysis of Possession and Carrying of Traumatic Weapons, in the norm of the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code of Ecuador; for the reason that this class of traumatic weapons is not typified within this legal body; and, to provide a broader knowledge, it is important to bring up theoretical, conceptual and jurisprudential definitions on Traumatic weapons. At the same time that the Ecuadorian citizens become aware that their respective use will only be in the face of latent threats from criminals in order to safeguard their personal integrity, where their use is required in a mandatory manner. This is due to the history of the increase in violence in the country, therefore, it is important that in order to grant citizen security the Ecuadorian state carry out pertinent steps directed at citizens for the correct use of this class of weapons, thus proceeding to the distribution, training, qualification, and issuance of the respective traumatic weapons licenses. Within the titling work, the mixed Qualitative and Quantitative method was applied, with the objective that Ecuadorian legislation consider the proposed reform to the COIP, thus legalizing traumatic and causal weapons for their respective use.
