This isn't the first place I've seen this story, it made Drudge a couple of days ago. It really sucks and I feel for the guy; but there are two questions which came to my mind the first time I read it:
1) If they were going to Costa Rica, why were they driving through Mexico?
2) Why was he bringing a fire arm into Mexico? A 24” shotgun ain’t exactly the ideal dove gun.
The only way to drive to Costa Rica from the US would be to go through Mexico. I personally am not a pro gun person though so even though this seems completely bogus I have little sympathy, why bring a gun in the first place. Guns tend to cause problems not solve them.
if you're driving from the US to costa rica, bringing a gun is probably a good idea. never done it but i'm going to assume you'd spend a decent amount of time in sketchy areas where a gun just might save your lifeQuote:

Because that was the gun he owned and the U.S. border patrol said he was allowed.Quote:
