I was reading the local paper here in South Texas a week or two ago about a woman arrested for trying to export ammunition to Mexico. She was a Mexican national about whom Customs had suspicions when she crossed over here. They followed her to several gun stores where she loaded up on various types of ammo. She had thousands, THOUSANDS of rounds in her van when arrested. She said that she was paid a certain amount per box she crossed back into Mexico. She was arrested on an unspecified felony charge.
I know that it is illegal to carry your arms/ammo into Mexico under Mexican law.
Is it illegal by American law? What might her crime have been? Illegal for non-resident to purchase ammo? Illegal to export? Is there some kind of agreement in place where American customs arrests people in Texas who intend to break Mexican law? What gives?
