Entering Baja with fireworks


I'd have 2 cases of Black Cat firecrackers. Maybe more. Declare it if stopped?

why smuggle them in when you can get bigger and better here for way less bucks?

I would not want to get caught with those at the border.

Reminds me of the time that we were sending a youth group down to work at Agua Viva kid's home in Maneadero.
Some well meaning souls went out and bought us 1,000 pounds of rice and 1,000 pounds of beans to haul down.
HUH???!!!

You can buy really good stuff on Calle Seguna in Ensenada, why haul it down and take a chance?

Rockets,
bombs,
big hand held stuff...

Want those with fireworks to get caught at the border.

Then spend eternity in La Mesa prison.

If my memory serves me right, after my teen years I no longer felt the need to be obnoxious or make loud noises in the hope of startling people. I witnessed a real altercation and scuffle at Los Cerritos when some guy who was latently entering his second or third childhood set off some fireworks and the lady whose dog got scared started pounding on the chest of someone she mistook for the perpetrator, who got mad and went over and poked the guy who had really started the whole thing in the nose.
Ah yes, tell me where Lee is going to be pulling his childish pranks so that I can be far away.

The standard in Mexico.... Or everywhere? ;D

Do your kids shoot bottle rockets at home?

So, now, setting off firecrackers in Mexico is childish pranks?

Man, the way they talk it is like they have never been to Camp Gecko on the Fourth of July! It is noisier than Bagdad on U.S. Liberation Day!:yes:

Exactly, put the fireworks in one of your travel bags and then put your underwear on top of them, the guards never go past the first layer of unders.

Happy explosives, be safe, and dont pee off the neighbors.




Haven't had a bad trip yet....

What kind of marooon would do that?:O
And please, DO NOT ever tell a joke that might remotely offend somebody. There could be a ripple effect and somebody's psyche, somewhere, could ultimately be wounded......:biggrin:


"Black Cat" ????? What a racist comment!!! You are a racist!!!!! and probably a hated "republican" too. :lol:
