I guess I'm just paranoid, being a "new" gun I want to keep it in good shape since I paid a premium for one in good shape. I ordered a crate of Chinese surplus from Wolverine, it's cheap enough that even if I only use a bit of it and don't like it I won't really care
As for Mexico, pretty sure it's fine there so long as you're not crazy rich or getting mixed up with drugs. If you're rich you should have security people, if you're playing with drugs you're taking a risk already so yolo?
