Hey guys,
I was talking to Bink about our trip to Cancun (we'll be leaving this week - me on Wednesday... yeah, I've got a day for replies) and I asked him if he's bringing his whip, and he said he didn't know about whipcracking in a foreign country.
Just out of curiousity (I don't think I'll do FULL gear), what are the laws regarding bullwhips in Mexico? Does anybody know? Maybe I could just let it sit on my belt... might make for some good pictures. lol
In Christ,
Shane

Well... I only caught two mistakes, and those are that it should read, "tu látigo." Seems you wanted to be grammatically correct with the accent in "police." Other than that - looks good.Snakewhip_Sable wrote:Both my bullwhips were made in Mexico, so it should be okay to use or carry one if you don't hit a cop with your whip.
"Debe ser bien si usted no golpea a la policía con el latigo." <--that's probably not even close, is it?
¡Buen trabajo, y muchas gracias también!
In Christ,
Shane

I've never been to Mexico, but I can bet that no laws exist for carring or using a whip. Such laws seem to be in vogue in more "civilized" countries in Europe... 
And, Snakewhip_Sable, your spanish sentence was pretty close. I would say it like this:
"No debería haber problemas si usas o llevas uno... si no le pegas a un policía con tu látigo"

I've flown from NY to Taiwan, back, and by bus from NY to Canada and back. There shouldn't be a problem if you put it into the checked baggage, and even if u had it in your carry-on, it'd be quite diffcult to use an 8-ft. whip inside of an airplane cabinet if they were implying you could use it as a weapon during the flight. I believe I read that in California, a whip is technically considered a "sound-making device", and isn't illegal. I would assume Mexico's laws wouldn't be much more strict than that.

Bullwhips are illegal to have on planes. This was talked about before. and the idea that they could be used to strangle someone with was brought up.Ghos7a55assin wrote:I've flown from NY to Taiwan, back, and by bus from NY to Canada and back.

You could also put ball point pens in each of a person's ears and smack together them until they touch, if you were so inclined.
But they won't take your pens.
Stow the whip - that way you can KEEP it. That's the way to go. Though when I got questioned about mine, it's because they randomly searched my CHECKED luggage - but they let me continue despite the dirty, dirty looks they gave me. The dirty looks might've been from my glib retorts though.
okay, there certainly were.

Oh, hey, they took my pens! I must have looked like someone who was thinking about doing that. This was shortly after 9/11...Snakewhip_Sable wrote:You could also put ball point pens in each of a person's ears and smack together them until they touch, if you were so inclined.

They made me pack my laser pointer, too. I can appreciate that, but it was also a bit silly. Soon we will have to fly naked. (Don't worry, they'll let you wear special paper clothes. But your own clothes will HAVE to be checked.
