RE: Guns onboard outside the 2 mile line?

You are right, the west coast of Mexico is treating boaters pretty well with few of the problems inland. And the Baja may be safer than SoCal for boaters. The Baja marine officials clearly understand the importance of US boaters. But I maintain taking a gun into Mexico is a bad idea.
Earlier this month several ex-US service men were recently indicted for running guns and RPGs*into Mexico by land and Pacific waters. You might enjoy reading about Arellano Felix the notorius drug lord who was captured on his fishing yacht off La Paz Baja 3 years ago. In plea agreements* he stated that Baja officials, police and CG were bribed and on his payroll.
I*routinely did business in Mexico until about 8 years ago. Not fun in the latter years due to endemic kidnappings, robberies and attempted bribery of workmates
