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....

Alex
