There is one rather prominent poster here who had to take his boat into an unscheduled port call in Mexico, and had to throw several weapons overboard because it was perferable to spending several years in a Mexican prison for having illegal weapons.

Yeah, I threw three Ruger products overboard on the way from San Diego to Panama. There was no realistic alternative, for many reasons too painfully detailed to go into here. But I may be the one gun rights type guy who ever really lost guns overboard. But we shot the hell out of them first. Tried to burn out the barrel of the Mini-14, quenching it in cold ocean water from the swim platform, and loading and firing, we couldn't make it stop until we were out of all 5.56 ammo. There should have been a Ruger camera crew to film it. Vivid in our minds, though, the crew on that leg.
