**Mr. Busch says that he had forgotten the firearm was in his bag and never had any intention of bringing it into Mexico.**

If he’s telling the truth, he’s pretty sloppy with his firearm awareness.

If a lie, he’s portraying himself as being pretty sloppy with his firearm awareness.

“That is how Mexico works.”

True. Had a cousin imprisoned in Mexico City for counterfeiting in 1970. He was indeed guilty of the crime and sentenced to 10 years. My uncle and father went down to Mexico City and paid the DA $30K in cash and 3 days later my cousin was in San Ysidro waiting for my uncle to pick him up.

“I forgot it was in my luggage ...”

“I didn’t know Mexican law ...”

What a dope.

NASCAR flies their own planes. Each racing team has a couple. They do not travel thru any inspecting agency.

He bribed his way out of it no doubt. That is how Mexico works.

...in addition to giving them the revolver.

One wonders if his wife wasn't trying to set him up. "Here, honey, I'll pack your bag."

NASCAR suspends driver Kurt Busch over domestic violence allegations

https://www.foxnews.com/sports/nascar-suspends-driver-kurt-busch-over-domestic-violence-allegations

Kyle is Kurt’s brother- They should know that they are under a microscope al the time- in kyle’s case though, supposedly new info has come forward disputing the ex girlfriend’s claims- The female judge though likely won’t budge=-

Right! Good flick though my favorite part of the movie was Moroder's soundtrack, especially the piece called "The Chase". I think Art Bell used it as his intro music for the longest time.

I have heard that, if you have money, living in a Mexican prison is not too bad.

I’m sure getting out of jail and back to North Carolina cost more than the $1,100 fine. A lot more.

My favorite line,

“For a nation of pigs, it sure’s funny you don’t eat ‘em.”

I heard Oliver Stone eventually apologized to the Turks for writing the script.

I take it that Kyle Busch flew a private airplane down to Cancun, and that's why the Mexican authorities found the pistol, not TSA.

All in all, Kyle would have been in much more trouble had the U.S. TSA found the firearm rather than the "$5,000 and this all goes away, Mr. Busch" Mexican Federales.

It was $1100 and 3 years in a Mexican prison. If you want to skip the prison part, it’s going to cost you a lot more than the $1100;

Speaking of which, it used to cost at least $10,000 to walk if one got caught with a gun at Love Field in Dallas.
