I've read threads about machetes, air/flare guns and now...cross bows. It doesn't matter if they are legal. What matters is if you will be allowed to
keep them. I don't know what the odds are but your chances are always 50-50.

Jerry, I one got a tent trailer accross the border into Baja using a Nordstrom receipt. True story. I asked him to stamp the paper and he did! Used
the stamped paper again later.
I fly fish when I am not doing other stuff that is not flyfishing.

cross bow?
I am curious as to why you would be interested in bringing such a thing into Baja? I have known many people who have brought
longbows, compounds, etc, but never a crossbow. I am assuming this will be a defense weapon?
Interesting mental scenario. Reminds me of the mob scene of shark hunters in JAWS....arrows sticking out of some dead nurse shark....dynamite sticks
tossed..jeez, what a sight!
I can picture the poor bandidos now.....

Spear Gun..
When I first started to scuba, I was given a pneumatic, 16", pistol grip/trigger spear-gun. The short legnth and pistol grip made it very easy to
manuever and shoot. It had a hell of a punch and went right through a halibut head, from 6' away, with no problems.
I imagine it would stop someone right in their tracks. Even if it were a bad shot, the spring loaded double barb spear head will have enough of a
horror factor to subdue just about any ill intentions. It's also as legal as can be wherever you are. Just be sure to accompany it with a mask and
snorkel.
I also carried a machete and pepper spray which were also legal. Luckily, I was never in a position to need anything against another human being, but
with all the latest violence, I think it would be a good idea to have SOME sort of defense. A damn shame isn't it?

Okay, imagine the scenario.....folks getting accosted:
'Honey, have you seen that box with our assorted weaponry? "
" You mean that milk crate with the swords and nunchucks? It was over there beside the barbeque last time I saw it. "
"No, the other box, the one with the sharpened garden implements and the C-4....you know, that one the kids gave us before we left the Ensenada
Walmart/"
"Oh, I left that in the trunk of the car....just a minute, I will see if I can find the car keys. Can you ask those guys to wait a minute .... what do
they want, anyways...."

Why would you need a paper to take a tent traileer into baja??
