Air Rifles/Pellet Guns Okay in Mexico?
Can anyone confirm if air rifles are okay to bring, and if so, has anyone been hassled about one at a military inspection?
I love plinking cans and such once and a while.

We use slingshots bought at the curios in Ensenada. The trick is to have a lot of cans to plink.

Must be a misspell. Surely, you meant CATS, right??? 
Lordy, am I gonna catch it, now..............
Anyway, they're sold in the Sorianas down here, so I cant imagine they are too illegal.
Dave, did you actually use the term "plinking cans" on a public message board?????? Oh my!!!!

They sell pellet guns in the grocery stores.
The allowed caliber may be involved....such as .22 as opposed to .177.
This question has been asked here no less tha fifty thousand times and all we have ever had was guesses. Without hiring an attorney to research the
law....we are left with nothing other than guesses.
In other words....no one really knows.
Hire an attorney.

From my upper deck I think I can reach your windows if I pump my Remington .20 about 10 times.

.177 is fine.
.22 or larger requires permits.
Please remit 50 pesos. 
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

5.5 cal ( .22 ) air rifles are readily available and legal. I bought one in Cabo San Lucas about 2 years ago, sin problemas.

Sure, why not. Fill it with .177 BBs, and use a 2000psi nitrogen bottle for propellant. That sounds like it meets the letter of the law.

we've got pellet guns down here and have never had a problema passing through the checkpoints with them....whaaaa?...they're gonna check if it's .177
or .22???....don't think so...in their minds a pellet gun is a pellet gun is a pellet gun
dyslexia is never having to say you\'re yrros.

As Pompano says...
They are legal. However, if challenged at an army checkpoint or by the local police, your chances of keeping the weapon are 50/50.

All these pee-shooters are only gonna get you killed. The bad guys have real guns and will be happy to demonstrate their shooting ability.
