GARBAGE! He had just returned from the Middle East and was on his way to San Diego moving there with EVERYTHING HE OWNED. He got stuck in a very poorly marked lane to Mexico that appeared to be for San Diego and there was no way to change lanes. He was forced to follow it into Mexico and when he got there, he told them what happened and declared the firearms in the back and that he just wanted to turn around and return to the states.
Right. You see, here's the problem with that... He also claimed he had never been in Mexico before, when in fact he had crossed the border several times.
The Complex Case of a US Marine Held for 'Accidentally' Taking Guns to Mexico | VICE News
Mexican authorities stopped Tahmooressi on the night of March 31 after he had entered Mexico with a 5.56-caliber rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun, and a .45-caliber pistol, as well as more than 400 rounds of ammunition. Alejandro González Guilbot, chief Mexican customs officer at the Tijuana-San Ysidro border, told VICE News that the firearms found on Tahmooressi were not locked in a container, out of reach, and unloaded, as required by California law.
Tahmooressi initially told Mexican authorities that he had never been to Mexico and was unfamiliar with the area.
Later news reports, however, revealed that he had in fact visited the country on at least one previous occasion. In addition, his mother, Jill Tahmooressi, told VICE News that the reservist had been to Tijuana at least once before to party with friends, and that she was aware of a girlfriend whom Andrew had met in church, who is from Tijuana but is a US citizen living in San Diego.
Oh, it gets better. IN addition to this guy getting arrested in Mexico and Indiana, he also got arrested in Georgia for a DUI. Outstanding ******* citizen.
The 26-year-old Tahmooressi, who lists his home as Daytona Beach, Fla., was held in jail overnight and then released Thursday after posting a $4,000 property bond.
Yup. Solid citizen.
I have far more than that pictured an arms length from me right now and if I was moving somewhere with everything I had, there would be even more.
If you have that many guns, you have problems...
