Yea, probably... I can't get my mind around what it would be like to live there. It's basically illegal to own guns, but threats to your life and property are very real - and even perhaps common. The police may be police or they may be worse than the bad guys.VMI77 wrote: Well, that would depend heavily on local knowledge and how much money you have.

Citizen criminals... At least technically:gthaustex wrote:Good for the citizens. I hope word of their exploits continues to spread as well as their actions and emboldens others who have had enough of what is close to anarchy in some places...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Mexico" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;:
Under this clause, only citizens who have been granted a license to carry can lawfully carry a firearm outside their homes. Beyond military and law enforcement members, these permits are only issued to persons who qualify such as those employed in private security firms, those who live in rural areas, or those who may be targets of crime (politicians, public officials, wealthy citizens).
In other words, like the cartels, they're bearing firearms illegally...
Mexico... A shining example of how tougher gun laws don't equal less gun violence.
