First time I was ever asked about firearms and ammo............Must have been the Tea Party, NRA, Glock and Second Amendment stickers on the back
window of the camper shell

Got a green light, was waved into secondary (driving a Tacoma with a shell)
First two questions........."do you have alcohol" and "do you have any cigarettes".......looked in the bed, then went to the cab....asked if I had any
"guns or ammunition"......also looked in the glove box...first time for those questions.....since I didn't have anything that peaked his interest, he
sent me on my way |

I have crossed many times recently both at Otay and Tecate.
It makes NO difference if one gets a green light or red light. For the most part, one is getting sent to secondary for no reason whatsoever.
It appears to be better if you cross in the DECLARE lane. Pull up and tell them what you have. If it is used looking stuff and is under $300.00USD,
you will be cleared to go.
I'll try that on the advice of a friend of mine who crosses a lot.

I crossed about three weeks before the Canadians in question. No shell. I got the red light.
In the back of the bed was a truck box, two suitcases and a 120qt ice chest.
The lady Aduana agent looked in the back at the suitcases and then asked "what's in the ice chest, food?" I said yes, and she waved us on.
We had slightly more wine than legal but we did have some hooch and some craft brews.
I really never thought I would be smuggling beer INTO Mexico but I have gotten a taste for Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA and will apparently engage in
smuggling to satisfy it. This sounds like the earmarks of an addiction.
