Yeah...right. And, if Custer had just one machine gun, you wouldn't be spending your time in a local casino.

To Fight or Flight is answered only at the time of the danger. Have seen people that always seemed to be functional if put in danger or helping
others in danger just freeze not doing anything. Have also seen people that were thought to be afraid of everything fight like hell in danger
situation, so you never know until it happens. Unless you have had experiences in dealing with different dangerous situations before, then you have a
good idea of what you can do. This is why we have law enforcement because they are given enough situations to be able to respond in some fashion to
help, Hopefully!
Now, in my home and in a situation of someone armed breaking into it trying to harm my family it will be settled quickly with two to the mass and one
to the head, danger resolved and then 911 call.
In Mexico you just have to use what is available in your house and that again is up to the person living there. In Mexico or USA just because you
cooperate does not mean you will be unharmed or not killed, so again the decision to live or FIGHT is up to you. Hopefully, none on this Bajanomad
site will have to go through such a choice but some have. Some here have been very fortunate, however some have not been. May God watch over all of
you and make sure those doors and windows are closed and locked at night. Big Dog or Dogs, Stun gun, Loud Alarms and baseball bat for a couple makes
for at least a chance while in Mexico, however if they have a gun then all bets are off do what you need to do. Take Care & Travel Safe==="No

Thank you...
I do think a tourist has a right to protect himself from death as much as another person. Alas, not like the old days when having a gun on a Mexican
trip was 'normal'.
When did guns used as a tool by honest people become a bad thing and guns in the hands of criminals baecome a standard thing?

OK...beat the guy to death with an issue of Penthouse. Whatever you do, just make sure he's dead before dumping him in the desert.

This and 1 other thread seem to be good end of the yr.
rants/vents. Am I to conclude that use of a gun
would land a Gringo Tourista in the Carcel?
I understand the use of the Wasp Spray will possibly
result in permanent blindness? again sounds like
time in prison. D, correct me if I'm wrong, but
isn't Pornography illegal in Mex? Whats a guy to do? I volunteer to
bring incarcerated BN's churros with files baked in

I don't think so. There was a time not too far back, that mags like Penthouse and Playboy were unheard of here, but that was probably only tradition.
Now, they're most everywhere in plastic wrappers so the kids don't gawk at them.
One only has to watch the weather on TV to see how times have changed here. It's a regular skin show.

From Wiki:
A clip is a device that is used to store multiple rounds of ammunition together as a unit, ready for insertion into the magazine or cylinder of a
firearm. This speeds up the process of loading and reloading the firearm as several rounds can be loaded at once, rather than one round being loaded
at a time. Several different types of clips exist, most of which are made of inexpensive metal stampings that are designed to be disposable, though
they are often re-used.
The term clip is commonly used to describe a firearm magazine, though this usage is technically incorrect. In the correct usage, a clip is used to
feed a magazine or revolving cylinder, while a magazine or a belt is used to load cartridges into the chamber of a firearm.[1]

Yeah, and we all know without a doubt that Wiki is the ultimate word on all information on the planet and is unapproachable in it's authority for
flawless and accurate dissemination of said knowledge base.
The term "Clip" comes from the enbloc 8 round metal clip designed by John C. Garand for use in his 1930's designed U.S. M1 Rifle, .30 Cal.
It has recently been perverted into a slang and incorrect term used by the contemporary uninformed (Hollywood and Gang-Bangers) and typically
untrained firearms owner. It then gets misused frequently enough for the population to believe that its true and gets entered into Wiki and from that
point forward regarded as fact. Ask any old guy. He knows. Or believe what you want.... H, out.

you can't expect people to forever stick to using 1930s american english. language is fluid, word use and definitions change over time. i think you
are pi$$ing into the wind trying to tell people how to use the word "clip."

Actually, the correct terminology probably survived until about when Miami Vice came on TV, but you are absolutely correct: We don't speak
Shakespearean English, the printed page is disappearing along with manners and common courtesy. Time marches on. Change is inevitable. Call it a clip.
I'll call it a mag. I give. H.
