handguns
I know the rules about no handguns etc. In fact it seems the only questions I get asked at the military inspections is if I have any drugs or guns.
Our home is in Colorado and when traveling in the US I always carry a handgun. In the past, when I have been coming to Mexico, I just leave the
handgun in Colorado. This year I am traveling in the Pacific Northwest (with my handgun) and do not plan to return to Colorado before heading to
Mexico. We are driving down the coast of Oregon and California and we don't have any friends or relatives along that route. I'm wondering how those
that travel in motorhomes and typically carry a handgun (especially those coming from Canada or full-time rv'ers) handle a trip into Mexico. Would
there be any benefit to removing the cylinder etc?? (I have no intentions of putting the gun together in Mexico and would gladly leave it in the
States if I had a place to leave it.) Surely other travelers have had this problem and I'm wondering how they handle it. Thanks Ron

Can you ship it to someone to hold it for you? It would be a shame to come across an in-depth vehicle search. I know that ammo alone is enough to
ruin your life.

I rented a storage unit in El Centro to leave things I didn't want or couldn't take into Mexico. About $30/35 a month but a lot safer than taking a
gun (in any condition) into Mexico. IMHO

That's a really good question. I have no experience here but I thought if you bank at a nationwide bank maybe you could get a safe deposit box in a
branch in San Diego before you cross over. Or a Nomad you trust near the border. Or you could bury somewhere safe and secluded and pick it up upon
your return.

If you are traveling through Orange County, California, I could keep good care of it/them for you until your trip back North. Just let me know.

The illegality of carrying firearms into Mexico is a complete urban myth!!
There is absolutely no problem for you to be carrying protection for you and your family. C'mon ... haven't you heard about the killings / beheadings
of RV'ers that is currently taking place!!?
I would suggest displaying said peace on your dash.
C'mon down bro, the water's fine!

I can just see it now, walking into a bank with a pistol in your hand... a great way to meet your local law enforcement. JH

in most towns you can go into a police station or sheriff's office and they'll bail your firearm for you at no charge.

Of course not, do like Goat and pull up your silk panties and call 911. Then hold your breath.

I found out years ago the safest place to leave my guns while traveling was THE HOCK SHOP they are kept in a safe and when you get ready for your
guns pay a small interest fee and retrive my guns

I live in Sacramento, which may be on the route of your travel.....you may leave the weapon here with me for safe keeping.
BTW.....I used to travel with my 30-30. Became an issue. Now I carry wasp spray 
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

A handgun would easily fit into a safe deposit box in a bank near where you
cross into Baja.

PEACE Brother ?
From the dr:
"I would suggest displaying said peace on your dash.
C'mon down bro, the water's fine!"
Would that be a PEACE sign displayed ?

If you knew the rules you shouldn't have to ask the question. Leave it in the states lest you become someones butt buddy.
