living in a foreign culture is an adventure. Exploring the beautiful country of Mexico is an adventure. I am sorry you can't see that.

By respect you mean like making comments about how "all Mexican men are afraid of big dogs"?
You're such a fucking hypocrite.
as I have said, I offered my vehicle up for a full inspection. It was inspected. The customs inspector asked me no questions about the content of my vehicle. If he had asked if I were carrying any firearms, I certainly would have said so. If he had asked me WHY, I would have cited the crime statistics of that state. If he had asked, I would have declared its presence, or if he had discovered it during his inspection and asked that I relinquish it, I would have willingly done so. None of that transpired. My vehicle was inspected - and most are not - and given the go ahead to enter Mexico. Now that I am here in my state of residence, I have taken all the necessary steps to register my weapon and have asserted that it will remain in my domicile.
and I will certainly admit that having a state policeman as one of my neighbors across the street who stops by for cocktails occasionally certainly may have helped me in my registration process.
Did he offer to show you his rooftop garden?
And yet another admission that you smuggled a gun into Mexico and then lied about it, by refusing to declare that you were bringing a gun into Mexico.
I am sure that most men in my city would readily admit to being afraid of big dogs... they ALWAYS cross the street when we walk our dogs even though they are on leashes. I have enormous respect for the Mexican people and for Mexican law enforcement... made very real by my growing friendship with the mexican state policeman who lives across the street. He's been very helpful and friendly. We get together for drinks. Our wives go shopping together. We spend time speaking english with them and they spend time speaking spanish with us. Good friends, indeed.
I that why you 'forgot' to apply for permission to import your guns?
I never once lied about it, and now it is legally registered, as long as it stays in my domicile... so, stay away!
I didn't respect the law enforcement in Tamaulipas. And I chose not to live there because of that.
So you're now friends with a corrupt cop, who knows you're a gun smuggler, and that you had no respect for the laws of Mexico, when you entered.
DAMN; I wasn't aware that the laws of Mexico didn't apply to Tamaulipas.
he felt I was totally justified in worrying about the crime and corrupt law enforcement in Tamaulipas.
And so you chose not to obey the law of Mexico....?
whatever you want to think. I am here. armed. legally. if that bothers you, I could give a fuck.As long as you have sympathy of a "respected" Mexican official, you need not comply with their laws?
Corrupt cops usually do make excuses for the criminal element that they associate with and with you being a gun smuggler, it stands to reason that the two of you would become fast friends.
Don't forget he gets "respect" and cocktails, not to mention beautiful sunset views in exchange for his "friendship".
Sure, you are. This must be wrong:
It is possible for Mexican citizens who reside in Mexico and foreign legal residents of Mexico (FM2 holders) to import a firearm into Mexico for their security and legitimate defense, under the types and calibers permitted for home defense and after receiving the appropriate import permit from the Secretariat of National Defense.
A US citizen who lawfully resides in Mexico as a FM2 holder could purchase a firearm in the United States and request permission to import the weapon to Mexico.
Do not attempt to take any firearm into Mexico even if the weapon is lawfully registered in your name in the United States (or any other country of residence) and even when the weapon falls under the types and calibers permitted for civilian ownership in Mexico.
Unless the bearer has explicit authorization from the Secretariat of National Defense, it is illegal and punishable by law to enter Mexican territory with any firearm as well as to keep and carry any firearm on your person or vehicle at any time, anywhere.

Their ignorance of Mexico is really profound, eh?
if that's what you want to think, I certainly can't stop you. But if I find out you're traveling through my neck of the woods in a car, I will certainly make sure my neighbor stops you.![]()
Yet here you are.
Didn't you stalk a poster that used to be here, BTW?
And why would I give him reason to stop me, unless this is just a further admission of how corrupt your friend is; seeing as how you said you would "certainly make sure my neighbor stops you".
