Having said that, I do not and will not walk around life scared. I've been to Mexico many times, the first time via bus from Canada.. (3.5 days!) and I've yet to have a bad experience. I'm lucky though. If I lived there, being robbed is a matter of time, not a matter of if. I know I wouldn't live there without carrying a gun or two at all times. The people of Mexico would call me crazy for this, but it's just life. The police won't protect you, so that leaves it up to me.
If I was being robbed, they can take anything they want, except my family. My car, my clothes, my money, I'll fuckin gift wrap that shit for you. But if you want my family, I'm emptying my gun. If I die or go to jail, then that's life. It could happen anywhere.

if you wanna put yourself at risk and act tough do so, leave your wife and kids out of it, going there = putting your family at risk even if you get hurt and they are not there it will mean they will suffer, avoid the risk I understand you love it there etc but there is a good chance you get hurt right now end of story.
So the gun story and all that is great and you should protect yourself and your family but you should not put yourself in harms way its stupid, its getting worse daily there even with the recent takedowns of some big players, this is not some tiny thug shit there where u get approached with a 22cal junk they got teams there with ak's mp5's and they have tons of grenades this is way above what you can handle or single human with a handgun can.
For now its not a place to go at least the parts that are flooded with this shit and it seems to get worse by the way.
