Re: PISTOL STORAGE WHILE ON VACATION?

I went with the nano 200 gun vault. It did its job while we were in Nueva Progresso, Mexico.

those $15.00 pack of 5 Esplendido Cuban cigars are fake.

Re: PISTOL STORAGE WHILE ON VACATION?

I know the previous were kidding, they were not prior to that. Uninformed people are dangerous, not Mexico:

44 gun related homicides in Chicage, 2013
1 in Nueva progresso, Mexico since 2009

Still waiting for the CHL since Dec. 20th.

Re: PISTOL STORAGE WHILE ON VACATION?

This has got to be a group of trolls, the people saying "don't go to Mexico with guns". I never, ever said that. My question was how folks stored a pistol while in Mexico. I get it: don't take a gun to Mexico. I bought the Nano 200. It fits my LC9 like a glove. ≈$32.00 online, looks like i...

Re: PISTOL STORAGE WHILE ON VACATION?

Thanks for the offer, but theres only room for two in our pickup. I bought the nano200, that's what I'm using while parked in Progresso. I'll answer why anyone would go to Mexico: it's a great experience. Being there is exciting. the goods they have are $$$. what a variety of stuff! Cuban cigars, OH...

Re: PISTOL STORAGE WHILE ON VACATION?

It looks like the nano vault is my best option. I've never had a problem parking in the progresso, Texas lot and crossing the bridge on foot. I drive the "backway" from South Padre Island to Nueva Progresso, and want my pistol with me. Thank you, RJGOLD. I'm going with the nano vault!!!!!!...

Re: PISTOL STORAGE WHILE ON VACATION?

Sorry to go off. Not everyone believed that I was driving into Mexico with a gun. I was hoping to hear about others experience concerning handgun storage while out in a vehicle where a gun is prohibited, without a lock box (other than the glove box), not wanting to hand it off to a pawn shop, bank o...

Re: PISTOL STORAGE WHILE ON VACATION?

Really people? I have zero intentions of driving my truck into Mexico, especially with a gun. I only tried to find out what others do in a similar situation. I WILL park on the Texas side, there is a big parking lot at the Nueva Progresso bridge, TEXAS SIDE. REALLY? This is what I said two days ago:...

Re: PISTOL STORAGE WHILE ON VACATION?

I'm not afraid of Nueva Progresso, Mexico, the deals are too good to pass up. We did stop going to Matamoros, I must admit. We have this theory: go early, the bad guys aren't up yet. I see senior citizens there every trip. I plan to lock the pistol in the glovebox. No one has commented on that metho...

PISTOL STORAGE WHILE ON VACATION?

We will be on South Padre Island for a week. The motel only has a front desk safe, none in the room. We ALWAYS go to Nueva Progresso, Mexico. The wife doesn't even want me to take it, what to do? While in Mexico, I think my only option is to lock in my trucks glovebox, which I'm a little uncomfortab...
