And yet folks go to Mexico for all kinds of hunting, bringing in guns and ammoMexico has jailed visiting Americans for having ammunition --- even empty cases. A U. S. Marine got lost and, carrying his service rifle, wound up in Mexico, was caught and jailed. Venezuela is living under a dictator, so the news here should not surprise people.
The problem with Mexico is evidenced by the lost marine; you can evidently wander across a border if you're lost. Another driver missed a turnoff, had to go into Mexico to turn around, but got caught with ammo! You need to be careful down NEAR the border so you don't CROSS the border.
If you have that problem with accidently finding yourself in Venezuela, there's a problem .... somewhere....
This is done with the proper paperwork and guides oversee the process. However, I have traveled to Mexico many times. I am super paranoid about accidentally having loose rounds in my bags.And yet folks go to Mexico for all kinds of hunting, bringing in guns and ammo
I agree on that; you hear horror stories about someone using a range bag while traveling and it had a spent .22 shell; however, I was just addressing the aspect of not ever bringing a gun into Mexico (and the other threads saying the same about NY, NJ, etc.)This is done with the proper paperwork and guides oversee the process.

Just think, it was just 2012, when Venezuela govt. took away all ammo and guns, from the general public. Now, inflation is 1,000,000% and they had to close all the zoos' because people were so hungry, they were eating the zebras, and all the other animals. All in 6 short years. Very sobering, and yet, so many want the same path. Our guns are the last man standing, in this game.
Get caught with hollow point ammo in New Jersey.
I was thinking, Chicago or LA, but NY too.Venezuela / New York City same difference.

There's more to these stories than what is first reported.
There was outcry on the UK gun boards a few years back because a guy was charged for having a few cartridges that weren't on his ticket. When the whole story came out, it turned out the police had been interested in him for a long time, for other reasons. He eventually was jailed for illegal manufacturing of firearms, as well as some unsavoury videos if I remember correctly.
You can bet the guy in the original story attracted the attention of the police way before they found the cartridges, and the real reason he is "interesting" is yet to be revealed.
