Sorry fellas, I forget to close the browser on my phone sometimes and it leaves me logged in. I do work for the Border Patrol as an Agent. It really isn't in my scope as far as what you need to get across but... an birth certificate and drivers license should work, social security and driver's license.

To be technical about it, you really don't need anything, as an American citizen you have every right to be here. But based on the nature of who is crossing out border they need some way to verify who you are for security reasons. Basically hey want to make sure you are not a terrorist. If you have your birth certificate and a drivers license you should be straight.

Perfect. Then I guess i'm going to mexico tomorrow.

Another question. What about traveling with my side arm? Locked and unloaded when I pass of course.

Do NOT go into Mexico with a gun or at least be aware of the risk you are taking. That is a major violation there and if you get nickced on their side of the border you can be in a world of shit in a hurry. This is serious.

Major violation or not, EVERYONE has iron over there. It's not a bad idea logically to bring it with me. I was asking specifically for entering the US with a registered hand gun, to an American citizen.

Even if I don't go with it, I have a good friend who made a call for me to "people" we'll call them to make sure that i'm looked out for. I just have a thing about traveling with my slug slinger, anywhere I go, it comes with me.

Don't go to mexico with it. The federal PD there will find it and will take it, and you, to a prison that has no rules like ours for well being. And on the way back if you got caught customs would shit the bed. They have no concept about dealing with armed citizens like I do. They sit in their box all day.

:iagree:

The difference between you and 'everyone' there I'd that the 'everyone' you speak of belong to organizations that contribute Billions every year to many politician's ummm shall we call them "children's college funds" (safety and hookers) You sir, don't lol. Unless you are holding out on us!

Well. uhm, yeah I uhm no contributions, uhm but yeah. We'll leave it at that.

So, little update on the truck. The seller sent some VERY high res pics today. Trucks been repainted and has some orange peel but nothing that cant be wet sanded. Also found out while speaking to his wife (translator) that he's Federal P.D. and can bring the truck across the border for me to chula vista. Which just so happens to have an AAA office as well, so i'll be able to obtain the temp permit to drive it home. Woot! So friday i'll be making my trip to get my new truck.
