Star'd & Flag'd, anti!

Sounds like he served and/or IS serving honorably, and OUR gov should
hurry down there to help him, it's only fair, since he helped our gov.

Besides, his guns were in the trunk of his car, it's not like he was 'packin'.

Making a U-turn, out of the crowded lines at the border, definitely gets
attention of the authorities, though...

It is unfortunate that he didn't have enough money to bribe the cops. The legal system in Mexico is so corrupt it makes ours look angelic in comparison.
