    This time. There's more than one way to skin a cat, and rig a suicide vest.

    So why New Orleans? They still haven't recovered from Hurricane Katrina. Why on earth would that many people get sent to some place that's already in shambles?

    Ask Barack Obeyme, Z.

    Edit: maybe since they come from a country where everything is destroyed, Nawlins-in-shambles will seem nice in comparison.

    Or they would see there are armed persons present and seek a softer target.

    Yes. Number of times an open carrier has been singled out first in a crime: 0.

    “Open carry sets you up as the first target to be eliminated by bad guys.”

    No matter how many times I hear or read this, I am still amazed that people continue to spout this nonsense despite any evidence that it has ever happened. . . .

    Could it ever happen? Could you conceivably be taken out as the first threat in a robbery? Yes, anything is possible. But the fact is that criminals typically have tunnel vision and are focused on the object of their attack. Criminals are not skilled military tacticians. They are looking at the clerk behind the counter to make sure that he doesn’t pull a gun, not at the shopper getting ice cream from the frozen dairy counter. There have been instances where criminals have held up convenience stores with uniformed police in close proximity because they are focused on the cash register and getting in and out as quickly as possible. The probability of you being the target when you are alone is exponentially higher than if a criminal is walking through a convenience store shooting all the armed shoppers first before he robs the store. The myth that if you open carry a bad guy is going to shoot you first is just that, a myth.

    You are completely right about that, but I think it is just an easy way for them to get in, not to mention, as far as I know, the Mexico/USA border is still wide open.

    I live right on the border and go across several times a month. The border is NOT "open." I, as a US Citizen must present my passport and go through customs in order to gain reentry into the US.

    The river is patrolled by USBP and Texas DPS high speed patrol boats with M60 machine guns mounted. Good luck.

    Ahh the M60, a classic weapon. I miss those. Mighty fine weapon if properly maintained.

    The M60s are for show. When was the last time they fired on an illegal border crosser? Would never sound about right.

    Plenty of illegals are getting in. How do you think they are managing it?

    How long have you lived on the US/Mexico border and how much have you seen in person and how much are you just passing on information you heard from some other source?

    I haven't passed on anything. You're the expert and I'm asking questions.

    We have 11,000,000 illegal aliens and most of them crossed the southern border. How are they getting in?

    When was the last time, if ever, the border patrol fired an M60 at an ilegal trying to cross the border?

    A classic, sure, but the M240 beats it in every way. Biggrin

    The vast majority over-stayed visas.
