BB guns in Mexico
Taking my boat down to Sonora next week end. The kids have 3 BB guns on it.
I would just take them off, but the boat is already in AZ and I'd have to essentially throw them away.

Throw them away, they cost nothing. Mexico is Mexico, rules change, Who knows what could happen. Why risk it?

I think they are OK as long as the BB caliber isn't military or police size.

They are totally legal, HOWEVER; I strongly suggest unloading them, put the BB's in a little bottle or back in the box while you're travelling, then
plink away all you like... .177 or .22 air rifles are totally legal. Mine has two notches (skunks) on the stock.

Woody, if it's air-powered, ok. Rimfire, NADA. Even a .22 rimfire round will put you behind bars.
I did without for many years; back in my 'pony-tail' daze and traveling single, I was searched by a contingent of Federales in Bahia LA (late '90s)
and they found just BB's in my trailer; they went ballistic on me. 2 hour long search, I wasn't worried; the rifle was Stateside. They were lividly
pizzed they didn't find my BB gun THEN... since, legalese states it's ok, I've pressed the issue, when asked said ''yes, here it is'', showed
unloaded, no problema what so ever.
You'd think things would change in Baja.... dang, they do! AIRE ES OK.

If you are going to cross at Lukeville the bar on the right going into why will store them for you. If you are going thru buckeye drop them off at my
house. Pick them up on the way back.

I accidentally left a pump bb gun in the back of my van. Just your fully loaded Daisy standard issue. Three Mexican inspection guards at the San
Ysidro border, including a female, took turns laughing and shooting it at the wall before throwing it back in the van. Nobody said anything.

Air guns
Air guns are legal in Baja N&S. Shooting or shooting at any of a myriad of protected species, or in a nature preserve, or in most parks, or too
close to this or that can be an expensive nightmare at best and up to nine years in prison at worst. Do your homework before you use any kind of
shooty thingy down here. Anywhere, actually.
Certainty is the child of ignorance, knowledge is the mother of doubt. Question everything!

I could have sworn that I read that somewhere a while back about pellets and bbs.

The pellet gun question has been asked many times. Of course, it's all up to the Mexican official asking the questions. But here is the written law
and some answers, for what that's worth. 'Nothing is as it says' is the norm.

I'm one of those that is hinky about anything that requires
an interpretation by Mex Customs or an 18 yr.old Mex Army
kid, just never seemed worth it. At the Checkpoint so. of
Ensenada, this Mensa is looking at a glue applicator I had for inflatable repairs, here I was explaining it was not a
hypodermic, just glue plunger

I considered taking one of my pellet guns down to my house in BOLA but decided to bring a wrist rocket instead.
