    Hadn't even heard of the arrest.

    NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was arrested and detained at Cancun Airport in Mexico in January after a handgun was discovered in his bag while boarding a private jet to return to the United States following a vacation with his wife Samantha. On Monday, he was sentenced to 3.5 years in a Mexican prison while also being fined $1,100.

    Just caught word of this today.

    Why would anyone go to that ****hole?!?!

    There is a secondary lesson in this, Mexican Law, most of Central American Law, and some S.A. Law makes a big distinction between ‘’military’’ or magnum calibers and other cartridges.

    This is why cartridges like .22LR, .380, 38 Super, .270Win, .243Win, etc. are popular with Mexicans.

    The punishments are much more severe for military or magnum calibers.

    Also, as one who has had numerous Mexican ‘’gun permits’’; their LEO’s & Courts frequently deviate from the actual laws. ‘’La Mordida’’, (BRIBERY) is rampant, but must be paid to the correct person to be effective.

    I doubt that Busch will serve significant time. Some deal will be. made.

    LOL - Mordida - that was the first thing I thought about. Our company has an accounting line for that when dealing with Russia. It's impractical not to.

    I'd bet you're right.
    Money rules Mexico.
    Corruption is "cheaper" in Mexico
    Money rules the world at a higher price and with more zeros.

    We all have a price. I would venture to say to corrupt most of us here 8 to 9 figures would do the trick, and some of us much less.
    In Mexico, 3 or 4 is all it takes sometimes.

    Yep. And it’s negotiable.


    I used to drive down to Encinada from San Diego. We took the toll road and at every toll booth, the price was different.

    “50 cents”

    Next one was 75 cents

    Next one was a dollar.

    “Hey the last was only 50 cents”

    “Ok, 75 cents”


    It was hilarious.

    And was mild entertainment on the way to the best fish tacos I’ve ever had.

    He probably figured Hey I'm celebrity on a private plane so I can do danything.
    Yeah that's basically how it works. He must have really pissed someone off to get the plane searched in the first place.
    I find the interesting part of story is TSA did not find gun on outbound leg, and Mexico Customs did not find it on inbound leg.
    No TSA at private airports.
