When talking about this topic, people who were a little confused because of the car ride became energetic. They all stared attentively and listened to the guy in front of them introducing the customs and customs of Tijuana.

"The Tijuana we are going to is located in northwestern Mexico. More than a hundred years ago, it was a small town with only a few thousand people. However, thanks to its superior geographical location adjacent to the United States, Tijuana achieved great success in the 20th century.

With leap-forward development, it has become the fourth largest city in Mexico, one of the cities with the fastest economic growth, and a famous national metropolis."

"Cut..."

The ramblings of the white guy in front attracted a lot of boos.

Is this what we want to hear?

Don’t you know what we want to hear?

We are all men, don’t pretend!

The white guy smiled slightly: "Then let's talk about the custom industry..."

Hoho~~~

As soon as I heard that the topic was mentioned, it immediately caused a wolf howl.

"The custom industry is a major economic pillar of Tijuana and contributes considerable income. The custom industry is almost synonymous with Tijuana.

Like many European countries, the custom industry in Mexico is legal, and the number of women working in it even exceeds 200,000.

Due to its proximity to the United States, most customers in Mexico’s custom industry come from here. The U.S.-Mexico border is a paradise for custom tourism enthusiasts, and Tijuana is the most representative city among them."

It was obviously not the first time for the white guy to go to Tijuana. He was familiar with the history there, and he was very familiar with various data.

His description made everyone feel itchy.

In short, in one sentence, Tijuana is now a famous red light district in the world.

Jack was also itching to say that he used to often go to the 4S shop technicians for maintenance, but recently the pressure was not as great as when he was at the CIA, and the frequency of maintenance was less.

The three-hour drive passed quickly and they arrived at their destination - San Diego.

The bus stopped in front of a motel, and producer Wendy took over the entire place. There were dozens of rooms, enough to accommodate all of them and their equipment.

"Here, help me~"

Several trucks full of equipment are being unloaded, including Swag and Sonny. They don't need to take care of other equipment, but they have always been responsible for weapons and equipment.

Jack called on a few people to help unload the car, and various gun cabinets were moved down and then carried to the room with the nameplate.

Several people from the props team left early yesterday just to come over early for modifications.

In today's motels, every room used to store equipment is fenced.

"Tony, have the gun procedures been reported in advance?"

Swager stopped a young man who was passing by. He was an external producer of the crew and was responsible for completing government procedures.

They were shooting gunfight films, using real people, and they had to report to the local government wherever they went.

Especially if I’m going to Tijuana in two days, which has already entered Mexico, and a large number of weapons are brought in and out of customs every day, all of this must be agreed with both parties in advance.

"Don't worry, the application has been approved a long time ago. Just make sure that the gun is not lost."

The external producer specifically warned not to lose weapons. In fact, there is a reason for this.

Although people have the impression that there are a lot of guns in Mexico, in fact, there is only one gun store in the entire Mexico that is licensed to sell guns legally.

Yes, you heard it right, there is only one.

This store can sell about 40 guns every day.

So where did Mexico get its weapons? All of this is actually thanks to its good neighbors-Texas and Massachusetts.

Texas is the state with the highest number of gun owners in the United States, and its gun laws are very loose.

Mexican gangs could not obtain weapons at home, so they turned to their good neighbor Texas.

They buy weapons in Texas and then bring them back to Mexico through smuggling and other means. A weapon that costs about US$1,000 in the United States can easily make 3-4 times the profit as long as it is brought back to Mexico, so many people buy weapons from Texas.

Texas sends weapons to Mexico.

The Mexican government even filed a lawsuit in a U.S. federal court, accusing several U.S. gun manufacturing companies of "negligence in the distribution process, resulting in a large number of smuggled guns from the United States into Mexico, resulting in the proliferation of gun violence in Mexico."

The Mexican government seeks compensation of approximately US$10 billion from these companies.

The sales of firearms in Mexico are very strict. As mentioned before, only about 40 people obtain weapons through legal channels every day.

But according to the Mexican government, U.S. gun manufacturing companies sell guns to Mexican gangs, which in turn flow into the hands of drug gangs.

At least 17,000 murders in Mexico in 2019 involved guns smuggled into the country from the United States;

In the same year, violence related to gun smuggling in the United States caused a loss of 1.7% to 2% of Mexico’s GDP.

The indictment states that more than 500,000 guns are smuggled into Mexico from the United States every year, and 68% of the smuggled guns are manufactured by the defendant gun companies.

Therefore, it is very likely that someone has their mind set on these guns. You must know that many of the weapons used by the crew are long guns, which can be easily sold for thousands of dollars.

Someone had already greeted them in advance, and Jack and others were fully prepared.

A room was transformed into a temporary weapons depot. Jack patted the wall, which was still strong.

The people in the prop team must have been specially reinforced, and the windows were sealed. After Jack put all the weapons and props into storage, he locked the door.

There are only four keys to this temporary gun room, Jack, Sonny, Swagger and Tallan Tactical's warehouse keeper.

And for safety, their residences are located on both sides of the gun room.

Everywhere was busy. The staff were moving various props and equipment into the warehouse. Swagger and Sonny were counting the number of guns. Jack came outside the room and stood in the corridor looking down.

Soon, the recorder informed that Wendy asked the leaders of each group to come to her room for a meeting.

Jack participates as a firearms instructor.

Wendy's room is located at the corner of the first floor, and when Jack arrived, there were already many people standing outside.

The room was too small to accommodate so many people, so Wendy simply stood at the door for the meeting.

"This is Carlos, the security consultant we hired in Tijuana. If you encounter any problems during the subsequent filming in Tijuana, you can ask Carlos to help coordinate and resolve them."

After everyone had almost arrived, Wendy introduced a young man standing next to her to everyone.

"Hello everyone, my name is Carlos. Later my people will list some precautions when entering Tijuana. Please pay special attention to not causing unnecessary trouble."

The young man said loudly. He was wearing a suit and his voice had a clear Mexican accent. On the surface, there was nothing obvious about it, but there were four subordinates beside him. At first glance, he did not look like a good person, a proper gang member.Chapter completed!
