Fortunately, AZ and NC are 2 of only a few states that still allow open
handgun carry.

Thanks for filling me in, Mike. And yeah, it's quite unfortunate the
situation
down there,, and it's probably not going to change anytime in the near
future...
Cheers

Hi Alex and List,
I know this question was directed at Melanie, but I was just talking
about this to another collector, so I will say what I told him.
There is a vicious and violent drug-war going on right now between the
Mexican government and members of various drug cartels. The cartels
are very brutal and do not care for outsiders or bystanders. They
will kidnap, torture and shoot anyone who crosses their path. It is
very unsafe to go out into the countryside away from the
heavily-policed tourist areas. Just recently a meteorite hunter went
missing from the area near the Allende fall and has not been heard
from since.
Best regards,
MikeG

Hi Melanie,
could you please explain to me/us European(s) in a bit more detail, why
you
think this is so down there in ole Mexico?
On a sidenote: I heard and read from some European visitors of the latest
Tucson show that people use(d) to walk around there with guns ´n weapons
for
their own protection. Is that just "normal practice" down South or
elsewhere
in the country?
Well, nothing but just a question....

Northern Mexico (were the deserts are) would be quite a dangerous place
to
hunt
meteorites.

I think they will BE. As most scientists and knowledgeable collectors
will tell
you, a meteorite doesn't care where it lands. I think they will be
greater
appreciated when the economy gets better and there is very little left to
argue
about. They are not mere commodities as some would like you to think and
they
are not a readily renewable resource. I feel it was very fortunate for
them to
fall in Northwest Africa where the climate preserves them well and the
world's
best recovery team was there to collect them. The gold rush has been over
for
some time reaching its pinnacle a few years ago. It is time to find the
next
plateau, will it be the Mojave or Mexico?
Happy Collecting.
Adam
