Flying With Firearms to Mexico

My turn for an eye-catching thread title and a little humor.

I travel extensively all across the US, Canada, and lately Mexico.

When I fly to areas of the country where my RKBA is not infringed, I bring along my handguns. I always pack my own stuff and more often than not, Mrs. Anygun watches me stuff the hardcases with handguns and ammo along with holsters in my luggage, and ensuring I have the proper licenses in my wallet.

I was packing for Mexico this past Monday. Luggage to Mexico is limited to 50 pounds per bag, two checked bag maximum due to baggage restrictions that are never lifted. I have to pack steel toed boots and Flash Fire Restristant Clothing (FFRC) due to the nature of my work. I was trying to sort out what went in each bag and durned near pitching a fit about weight while Mrs. Anygun was doing her usual best as my able-bodied assistant.

During a lull in action as I was deciding on what to do next she said "If you didn't pack two handguns and the ammo that goes with it your bag wouldn't weigh as much. Just take one!" I awoke from my train of thought and erupted in a huge belly laugh (don't say a word Stevie, I know what you are thinking). When the tears stopped I told her about the firearms restrictions in Mexico and that my idea of fun is not languishing in a Mexican prison.

Isn't travel fun??

Mrs. Anygun probably saved your life. Hopefully the TSA agent would have caught the mistake and saved you from your demise south of the border.

Rumor has it that those Mexican prisons aren't quite as posh as the ones we have here.

I think if you catch 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' they confirm that it ain't very posh at all..

You can have all those things and more in Mexican prison: you just have to pay for them. Some wealthy "prisoners" even have apartments within the prison, where their families live with them.

If they are wealthy, why are they in prison? Be cheaper to buy your way out.
