Yes, we speak spanish, guaraní and a mix of both, also known as jopara.
I live in Asunción and from my experience It's great to live here but don't leave things on your car, open locks or things at arms hand because some people steal stuff just because they can. For example, my neighbor had her potted plant stolen after they jumped the fence.
Well, I always lived in the city so I don't really know for sure... but since there are not that many people in rural areas they all know each other. My friend lives in Areguá and his house has an open backyard were anyone can go through so I think it's more chill there.
That sounds pleasant and safe. I find that area of the world fascinating. It looks beautiful and the history of all of South America is quite interesting. My Spanish is decent (finally). I hope I can visit at some point and see the area first-hand.
-You need to be 22 yo or older, have a clear criminal record, pass a physical and psychological examination and show a bunch of documents.
This is what I found about what kind of weapons a civilian can get:
Article 12.- Firearms for civilian use. They are all those non-automatic firearms that by their designs, calibers and characteristics admit their possession by the civilian population in the manner and form of their regulation by the competent authority; and are classified as follows:
(a) firearms for personal defense;
b) firearms for sport use; and,
c) firearms for collection.
Article 13.- Personal defense firearms. They are those non-automatic firearms destined to the individual defense, of goods or inhabitants of the property of its possession, in the manner and form of its regulation.
So... how is life, infrastructure and crime in Paraguay?
Having to learn whatever language spoken in the town by the natives isn't a problem if the place isn't a crime-ridden shithole.

Hmm, I didn't know so I had to research a bit:
