[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3100587, member: 5412"] I have no clue what it is like down there now. But when I worked for a company that built oil field drill bits back in the 90's, we had to open a manufacturing facility in Caracas Venezuela because the government required everything to be built in-country with no imports, just prior to the government takeover of the oil companies by Hugo Chávez. Massive political unrest with kidnappings for ransom the norm as the economy was going into the tank. The company hired armed guards for the crew that was sent there to move our machinery and start up the product line to build the bits. It seemed money was the weapon of choice. Bribes had to be paid to everybody. With the drug trade, corruption, and political issues going on down there right now, It's not a good place. Open gun battles in the streets for turf, etc. Sounds like Chicago huh? Don't know the circumstances of the "investigation", but I'd sure take something with lots of firepower, because your likely to meet someone with just as much if not more. Can you even import firearms? Edit: I see you can't. [/QUOTE]
