  1. I know this is outside of what's being ask here but have you considered flying? $800 pesos one way with Aeromar from GDL airport and only 55 minutes of travel.
  2. Any elaborations beyond sending condolences is in very poor taste and insensitive. Thank you for pointing that out CG.
  3. They remind of the "public housing" built under the Erich Honecker administration in the former East Germany. Talk about depressing.............
  4. Keep in mind that those poor bastards stealing the gas are mostly selling it to narcos at a reduced black-market price to enable them to continue transporting their "wares" throughout the country, killing and mameing while the rest of the population is suffering in long gas lines. I don't have much sympathy for them except for the "taco vendors and nursing mothers" that may have become part of the fry. Anyone participating, aiding the narcos, especially people in positions of authority (Peña Nieto) need to meet their well deserved final fate. God Bless AMLO in his efforts to combat this decease and for being a man of his word! How refreshing for a politician!
  5. Has there been any progress on investigating the legal questions involved in importing personally owned, legal calibers from US to Mexico?
  6. I was looking at some property in San Juan some years back on their water front street (properties on lake side of street were lake front lots). I notice a manhole cover open and raw stinking sewage with all the disgusting chunks of fecal matter and paper that one might imagine, gushing at a considerable volume and pressure, streaming down one of the side alleys directly into the lake. That answered the swimming question for me! pm
  7. Thank you for taking the time to contribute here SMUNOZAM! I will look into all of your suggestions. No conosco Merida, el ultimo hogar de Pedro Infante. Un dia quiero investigar su rumbo. Entiendo que es una ciudad colonial muy bonita. Gracias de nuevo y le regreso saludos del lago! pedro malo
  8. Oooo, you could have had something very valuable there had they not been tampered with. I assume they are display legal since they are non-functioning but don't know for sure. I've been to restaurants in Mexico that have old shotguns and Mexican Mausers hanging on walls. Assume that is the same situation. Boy, if they were mine I'd be investigating how best to restore them. Doesn't take too much heat to melt lead......... Bad idea though since then they might not be legal anymore, but worth a ton of money if not damaged too much.
  9. Thank you for clarifying the facts and for bringing up this topic again. These have been the most informative posts on this subject so far. I bookmarked the Mexicoarmado website, no idea this existed in Mexico. I'm an avid collector of rare firearms, most of which would never be allowed in Mexico and will eventually have to liquidated. I do have a couple pieces that I'd love to hang on to and if possible, import to Mexico. One is an old S&W Target Master in .38 special with the 6" barrel and target hammer and trigger from the mid-50's. It was my uncle's pistol and the very first pistol I shot as a kid so it has considerable sentimental value. Will play it by ear I guess. The military gun store came up the last time this subject was raised but I don't remember anyone commenting on having bought there. Remember Spencer was looking into the law on importing personal firearms from the US. Are you saying it can be done with a Mexican permit costing $4000 pesos? I can understand that coordinating with Aduanas could be an issue but why would ATF be involved? Why would they even have to know if you took your favorite piece with you and crossed into Mexico? As long as you satisfy Mexican law, what do they care if a gun leaves the US? Again, thanks for starting this topic anew and for the additional info provided by you and vetteforron! Hope someone will eventually buy and share their experience from the military gun store. In the meantime, any posts regarding this topic will always be welcomed by myself.
  10. I've heard of similar nightmare stories including that of an old timer that lived on the Arizona border that would cross to buy medication in Mexico. He was an avid hunter/shooter so before crossing he would routinely scour his pickup for missed rounds. Then one day he missed a .22 round wedged between windshield and dashboard. It was noticed by an observant border official and he was arrested. He spent years in prison and his wife spent their life's savings trying to get him released by sending funds to his Mexican "attorney" who would always tell her "just a little more money and we should be able to get him out". Definitely not worth the risk breaking Mexican law!
  11. Yes RV, I'm very much aware of this. Interesting though, that once here, it could be registered with no problems.............
  12. Thank you for this clarification El Saltos. Do you know of a legal way to import a favorite family heirloom that would fall within the acceptable legal prerequisites for caliber, etc. that one could then take in to be registered? So I'm to understand that if somehow my own firearm were to find it's way into Mexico, I could then legalize it with the military? Thanks!
  13. Not sure if you have much of a choice than to go through the D.F. gun store. Given the restrictive law, are private sales (private citizen to private citizen) gun purchases even legal in Mexico? Registration with the military is the only legal route. This topic has been discussed here before. Spencer understands the law regarding firearms. Hopefully he'll chime in and be able to answer your questions..........
  14. So could the TIP still be applied for online, given it is a Mexican national with US Permanent Residency applying? Seems like the selections and categories for the TIP application are worded towards foreigners (Extranjeros) on the website. Would a Mexican with US Residency apply for the TIP in person at border?
  15. Good point snowyco. Where did you find the Paisano Program dates on the Segob website? I can't find them listed there. Thanks.
  16. Excellent advise snowyco! This is very advantageous to know. Between the 3 of you, I'll now be able to plot my failsafe strategy. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Thanks!
  17. Thank you Jim! So would my wife need to be a US citizen to get the TIP or is a US Permanent Residency card enough?
  18. I'll have to ask how my neighbor did it. He is Mexican and lives in Joco. He also holds US citizenship. He went to the US on vacation where he has a US plated car and drove the car back to Joco. He must have done it as a US citizen with a TIP?
  19. I'm wondering if anyone has information on whether a Residente Permanente or a Mexican Citizen can bring a US plated car into Mexico on a Temporary Importation Permit? I'm a RP and my wife is a Mexican born citizen. We'd like to bring house stuff from our US home to our home Lakeside. Could I bring in my US plated pickup on the TIP as a Residente Permanente or could my Mexican wife if I put the truck title and registration in her name? I have a Mexican neighbor who had a US plated car and took it to Mexico on vacation. Can we do this legally too? Any information or personal experiences appreciated!
