ok when you leave the US nobody clears you or checks you for weapons, also US border patrol cannot dictate to the Mexico authorities what to do.


Before you cross in to Mexican territory there is a huge sign...indicating that it is a Federal crime (in Mexico) to transport a weapon or ammunition of any type in to Mexican Territory.

As you can see the sign here..it is in plain English. at this point he could of turned back and not cross. But he made the choice to continue.

I feel for the marine that he got caught...but he did break the law in another country.

Back in the 60s/70s this was happening all the time. No big news then. Not all with guns, different charges.
It was so bad the US Military would make weekly trips to pick up the guys they
could get out without to much trouble.

He should have called Holder. I hear he's got gobs of experience transporting guns into Mexico!....
