Besides, for the guns you could legally possess down here, you will likely be severely outgunned.


Not if you shoot first. Vigilance is everything.


Then you will live to enter the Mexican legal system, in all likelihood. Being legally correct is not an ironclad defense in Mexico, especially if you are perceived as a gringo with means.

Pick your poison.

From what I have read over the years in this forum, self defense resulting in injury to an intruder (your being with or without a gun) in or out of your house but on your property is very problematic. I have heard that if you injure an intruder in your effort of self defense, you are legally liable for the damage you do to the intruder in terms of his medical costs and damage compensation. In my view, having a gun simply escalates and increases the potential for damage and all that may bring in the Mexican legal system.

Two years ago, an intruder broke into my house in Baja while my wife and I were asleep, I woke up, grabbed my very long, thin and very sharp machete and chased him out of the house. I thought long and hard about whether I should get a gun. Decided against it for Mexico, still thinking about it for the USA home, though.
