Famed NASCAR driver Kyle Busch has been sentenced to three-and-half-years in prison for gun possession without a license in Mexico, authorities there said late last week.
It is not clear how, or if, that sentence will be assessed.
**SNIP**
According to Mexican authorities, Busch placed his luggage on the platform and x-rays took note of “a pistol-type firearm caliber. 380 with charger supplied with six hollow point cartridges” inside.
“When it was discovered, I fully cooperated with the authorities, accepted the penalties, and returned to North Carolina,” Busch’s statement continued. “Discovery of the handgun led to my detainment while the situation was resolved. I was not aware of Mexican law and had no intention of bringing a handgun into Mexico.”
On Jan. 29, the charges were presented by Mexico’s Agent of the Federal Public Ministry to what is termed a “Control judge” under an “expedited procedure,” deemed legal, and Busch was sentenced to three years and six months in prison as well as a fine of 20,748 pesos, or, roughly, $1,080, the Mexican press release said.
A Mexican legal website run by an online law firm explains that “[t]he expedited procedure is a mechanism that speeds up criminal prosecution proceedings [and] is applied in custodial sentences not exceeding 9 years or in others of a different nature.” A Mexican law review article written by a member of the judiciary says the procedure “is considered as a form of early termination, in which the defendant has agreed to be tried based on the data.”

Biden would only do that if he was homosexual or a transvestite.
“..It ain’t your grandaddy’s .380. They are much more effective now than when they were first developed. Definitely better than nothing in the SD areas....”
Agree.
My wife carries a .380, and I sometimes do in the summer as it’s a lot easier to conceal. Some of the modern .380 SD ammo can pack a pretty good wallop, especially at close range....IF one can find some available these days. Of course, shot placement is everything no matter the caliber.
It’s not the big, bad, scary 9mm Biden lung blower-outer though, but yeah...waaayyy better than nothing at all.
Looks like he got out of Mexico and so he is safe.
But there are similar horror stories with no such a happy end.
I remember a truck driver with semi loaded with guns who made wrong turn in El Paso and was told to make U turn in Mexico.
He ended up in Mexico jail for years!
They confiscated his truck with all the load too!
Now do Eric Holder.

Yes, Kyle Busch is a white guy. He'll rot in prison.
How did he get the INTO Mexico in the first place?
****supplied with six hollow point cartridges” inside. ***
The US press would have called them “Dum-Dums.” since the first came from the old 1890 British arsenal at Dum-Dum in India.
Sounds more terrifying!
I think Kyle has made his last trip to Mehico.
