What is the law on taking firearms into mexico?

Question

I know some are legal and some are not. just need to know what is and what isnt legal and the procedure.

Answer 1

None. Zero. Nada. Try it and you WILL go to jail.

Answer 2

You gat the answer on what is illegal,,,, and jail time you can have....

For Mexican citizens a gun in your house smaller than 8mm is legal as long as you have  a permit from the Army, and you can not take that gun anywhere out side your house, if they catch the gun in your car , even with a permit still a felony....trasporting any fire weapon is illegal too since you will need another permit to move it. (sport hunters use  this)

Answer 3

Easy answer:

ALL are ILEGAL.

There  are not any gun you can either carry nor transport without special permission from the mexican army; it means you must to be member of the army or a permission from there (almost imposible to get.)

In México it is ilegal to have fireweapons.

And the answer from "Big Bubba" is perfect.

Answer 4

See site below.  Unless you are a licensed dealer with a contract with the police.....and even if you ARE...you would have to be out of your mind to try to take a gun into Mexico.  Pres. Calderon and the federales are on a holy tear right now to stop guns from being brought into Mexico.  If Pres. Calderon is your BROTHER and he personally told you you could do it...DON"T!

Answer 5

You don't remember the Gringo that forgot to take a small box of bullets from his trunk from a gun show in Texas.  Last I heard of him was after he had been in prison 90 days.

If you feel the need for a weapon they are much easier to buy way down in Mexico.

I was at a American express office and the guard did not appear to have a gun.  I said "Donde esta su pistola?"  He lifted up his shirttail and exposed a 9 mil.  I asked him if he would sell it to me . No he said and pulled up his right pant leg and I can sell you this one.

I bought a 380 from two cops and had no problem.  They know me very well and live in the Barrio.

DO NOT GET CAUGHT AT THE BORDER WITH ANYTHING MORE LETHAL THAN A WATER PISTOL.
