Years ago, while driving support for a Baja racing team, I was in a vehicle that was stopped by a local police officer near San Felipe. In the course of a "normal" poice inspecftion the officer found a loaded .38 under the seat upon which I was sitting. The ensuring excitement was one of the more grim and intense stand-offs I have ever had the unhappy pleasure to be in the middle of. So, word to the wiser...

Do not ever carry any kind of firearm into Mexico!
