Looks like this is updated info after this morning’s ping.
I’m sure you’ve heard this alot, but please be careful.
You would think the MSM hacks would at least be more concerned about their fellow journalists. I sure don’t see any of them running down there to report what’s going on.
Mendez 47th Journalist Murdered in Mexico
http://college-ethics.blogspot.com/2009/02/mendez-47th-journalist-murdered-in.html
[snip]
According to the tally kept by the National Human Rights Commission (Comisión Nacional de Derechos Humanos, CNDH), Méndez is the 47th journalist to be murdered in Mexico since 2000. This figure includes both journalists who were clearly killed in connection with their work and those who were killed for unclear motives. He is the second journalist to be killed since the beginning of the year in Mexico.
Now how foolish would that be?
Or you can move to a state that honors the second amendment by not infringing on it and has open carry. Better yet campaign in your state to do away with it's infringements on the second amendment. Exercise your rights or loose them.
Last night, my gfs idiot friends were trying to sell us on vacationing together in Mexico this year.
I wouldn’t spend one minute in that 3rd world hellhole.
Narcotics smuggling. Smugglers have bee using them for sometime now.
You go to Mexico to see a dentist? Let me guess, it’s cheaper. You know why it’s cheaper? They don’t have to get an MD before going to a short course on dentistry.
I'm going abroad for my doctor care once ObamaPlan takes effect - I just found out my neighbor and I got assigned to the same vet!
American dentists do not have to have an MD degree....perhaps you are thinking of Psychiatrists...they do have to be MDs.
American dentist have much more medical school training than Mexican dentists. American dentist have a doctors degree.
Educational Requirements to Become a Dentist: Dentists must have a license in order to practice and students must attend and graduate from a dental school that has been accredited by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation to be eligible for licensure. Along with completing a program, students must also pass exams. Many students enter a dentistry school after completing a bachelor's degree program in a related subject.
Oral And Maxillofacial surgeons would have to have an MD degree...at least I cannot imagine they don't need one.
Dentists are allowed to write prescriptions....but it is a special allowance and only covers antibiotics, anti inflammatory drugs and very limited amounts of pain meds. If they were MDs they could prescribe anything at all.
In Juarez you can pay a quack MD a few bucks and s/he will write a script for anything...even something as powerful as Fentanyl. There was a stoopid girl in this town that got some Fentanyl patches and poked holes in the membrane and dripped drops of it onto her tongue....she fell over stone cold dead....what an idiot.
In Mexico you don’t need a prescription, the pharmacy will sell you drugs that in the US you would need a prescription for, and the fact remains, in Mexico you can become a dentist with much MUCH less medical/dental training than in the US. I don’t care if my barber has an inferior education but I sure as heck care if my doctor/dentist has one.
I know you’re joking, and I’m sure you know that if you cross the US-Mexico border with a firearm OR ammunition of any kind and they find it in your stuff, you’ll likely never get out of what passes for a jail down there.
Right now I think the safest way to see any part of Mexico is on a Carribean cruise that puts in at for example Cancun. Spend a day there, then get back on the boat and sail on to the next port of call.
When my wife I drive there, we go straight to places in Reynosa and Matamoros called Garcia’s, which offer secure parking, top-notch restaurants, shopping (including liquor; on my last trip to Nuevo Progreso I picked up a 1.75 liter bottle of Jose Cuervo Gold for $17.50 American) and pharmceuticals (legit - not recreational). These places are within 100 yards of the border with no stops in between.
I think there’s a Garcia’s in Nuevo Laredo as well, but we don’t go there anymore.
If you want to see a dentist in Mexico, the best place I know of for that is Nuevo Progreso. You have to park your car on the US side and walk across the bridge.
Two caveats: First, look for an office that has lots of gringos in the waiting room and pay no attention whatever to the hawkers on the sidewalk. Second, be aware that these guys want to sell you as many services as they can. I went in for a cleaning and paid $20, but the hygienist said he counted 15 cavities which at $20 each would’ve been another $300. I declined and later went to an American dentist who told me I had none.
Dentist only complete Dentist school & have limited medical knowledge related to their profession. Oral Surgeons hold MD License as well and choose Oral Surgery as their specialty. When General Dentist try to cross the line and do as surgeons do like putting people completely under with IV’s bad things can happen. Be leary of a Dentist wanting to do things beyond their job description.
A friend of mine convinced me to NOT get a CC permit — his rationale is that it creates one more public record with your name on it. Makes it easy for the Obama-troopers to come after you.
___________
I disagree. It also makes it really easy for them to arrest you if they catch you with it and the laws are clear. having the CC doesn’t mean you didn’t sell your weapon and decide not to carry it.
If you are caught with a wepon and do not have the CCW, you can get in trouble for doing absolutely nothing at all.
Now how foolish would that be?
__________
VERY foolish, the laws are clear, why give them a chance to arrest you?
At least for now in TX you do not need a CC to carry. You only have to be traveling.
