Can an American citizen take an air rifle across the border? Has anyone legally done this? I cannot find an answer to that question! Maybe someone
here knows....

God only knows what the law is but, Cabelas sells a pellet gun that goes 1200 feet per second. Dont know how far it does that but it's 22 caliber and
about 400 bucks. anyway, if it's legal, and I believe it is, thats pretty good fire power. Oh yeah, it's a rifle .... not a pistol.
Interested? go to cabelas.com
Oh yeah ..... I have seen pellet guns for sale at Gigante also but, it was a while ago.
Later .... Dennis

 There are air rifles available to buy at stores in Baja but I didn't think
much of them. As far as taking one across the border its supposed to be legal but I was advised not to because by the time they found out it was just
an air rifle I would be handcuffed in the back of a car. If I were going to try it I would leave it in the trunk of the car, walk across and tell them
what you wanted to do and if they didn't have a problem call back to your partner and tell them to come ahead.

Believe it or not, you may want to consider a good paint ball gun. I have seen them that can move the paintball at more than 1800 feet per second.
( .38 Special +P loading fires a 125-grain bullet at 945 ft/s for a muzzle energy of 248 ft·lbf. A standard-pressure .38 Special only makes 850 ft/s
for 201 ft·lbf of muzzle energy )
they are legal to bring into Mexico, and they are also sold here. There is a paint ball place in Tijuana.

QuePasaBaja has got this gun stuff figured-out. Unless the arresting officer has other ideas about it?

Good idea and info on the paint ball gun. Im going on-line and read the adds for them. I'm looking for one with claims that it will penetrate a
mans chest. What color would be appropriate for that?

Are you sure a paintball gun can have a muzzle velocity 1800 fpc? I sell them and most are just under 300 fps. If so, please forward the makers
name.

Paintballs hurt. I got shot by one in a drive-by shooting while working on my car. I had a jacket on and it still left a big welt. The perps were
hauled into court because on assault charges they hit a kid in the face and injured his eye, so you definitely can do some damage with one.

I took a chance and put an air pistol in my bag for the airline to take to Loreto. I got caught at LAX---but they didn't make a big deal of it. Just
told me to let them know the next time. When I got to Loreto, they checked my bag and found it and said it was not a problem.
If there is no fishing in heaven, I am not going

Well, I dont know. What I think I know is that a gun of any type in an airport is going to draw attention and a gun in a mexican airport could open a
big can of worms until it's all sorted out. It could be quite a while before the letter of the law is brought into play.

air guns
If you are contemplating using an air rifle or pistol for personal protection, consider this; they lack shock power and will tend to really pee the
target off. I have been shot with both and the result was exactly that.

Personally, Im not planning to use one at all but, as I mentioned way above a few days ago, Cabelas has one advertised with a muzzle velocity of 1200
FPS. That would do a lot more damage than wet pants.
Actually, these guns can be pretty sophisticated, so it seems. They use them in the Olympics, I suppose for target shooting.

Paintball guns shoot fast and hard no durty booty. But if you're thinking of using one for personal protection, ask around caus' last I heard the bad
guys were still hurling lead and that makes your paintball gun look like a pea shooter. If you make it back from Nuevo Lareto with your paintball gun
give us a holla, tell us how it went...okie dokie!!?

Taking a BB gun to a gunfight doesn't sound like a good idea.
