Crossing the Border

[fuzzwuzz133]

I'm going to Tijuana on a trip and plan on crossing the border. I know that it's illegal to carry in Mexico, but can I bring a ESEE Izula across the border in my bags? Or should I just leave it at home? Thanks!

Leave it at home. The Mexican court system is "guilty until proven innocent", the jails are notoriously bad (you have to provide your own food and clothing), and the cops don't have any qualms about arresting Americans.

I left my CS "Voyager" locked in the trunk of the rental car in Brownsville, Texas when my girlfriend and I walked across the border into Matamoros, Mexico. I knew better than to carry a knife there. One-way ticket to prison. Not worth it.
