I wonder how many US citizens are incarcerated in Mexico’s jails. The following is an excerpt from the Consulate General United States Tijuana Mexico.

Guns are Illegal in Mexico
Snip
Don’t bring firearms or ammunition across the border into Mexico.
Don’t carry a knife, even a small pocketknife, on your person in Mexico.
You may become one of dozens of U.S. Citizens who are arrested each month
for unintentionally violating Mexico’s strict weapons laws.
If you are caught with firearms or ammunition in Mexico...
•You will go to jail and your vehicle will be seized;
•You will be separated from your family, friends, and your job, and likely suffer substantial financial hardship;
•You will pay court costs and other fees ranging into the tens of thousands of dollars defending yourself;
•You may get up to a 30-year sentence in a Mexican prison if found guilty.

I have a better idea. Don’t go to Mexico.
