I went to Acapulco in 1985. We stayed at the Acapulco Princess and were told that we could not wear jeans. Nice place. While there we were told to stay in the city and to not go on the beach after dark. They had the city safely protected for the tourists. Our money was their lifeline. Looks like it is really messed up now.
Maybe one can get one of the bammy/holder f&f rifles for protection..
