Went hiking today with a group about 60 miles from the Mexican border. There was a sign warning of illegals and drug trafficking. In the group of 7, we had a .45, .40 & .357 - not quite like the hiking I did in my youth! Didn’t need any of them today, happily.
However, at the picnic ground nearby, I spent an hour hearing only Spanish... ;>(
You got off lucky. You were hopelessly out gunned.
