This is the only explanation that I can come up with. I can assure you that I know at all times where my firearms are, but I'm a paranoid idiot. (I also keep them locked up to the point that, IF they were needed, I'd be long dead before I got to them)

That made me laugh as well. That whole report is garbage. If I just read that little news clip with no other knowledge, I'd assume he's rotting in a Mexican jail as we speak.

Takes on a whole new meaning if his spotter tells him to "give him a shot."

I'm wondering if that bag is always on his plane and since his flights are FBO he didnt think the plane would be searched. I'm sure its not the first time he's flown internationally with it.

It's a matter of how you raise your children. Growing up our house we knew where all the guns and ammo was kept. Taught how to properly shoot and respect a firearm. Never once did the thought cross our minds as kids to take them out and shoot someone

I'm looking forward to the gun battle when they try and arrest him

Bush was sentenced to 3 1/2 years...IDK how he is going to get out of that. Maybe the Amigo can put in a good word for him.

I can see him getting out in 3 years with good behaviour. Although he will probably spend his remaining years living on the outskirts of society with a crack pipe as his best friend.

I don't own a firearm, but if I did, I can't imagine I would forget where I left it. This is unfortunate, and I'd imagine he doesn't have to end up fulfilling that prison sentence. But man, no excuse. Gotta be smarter than this. This sort of ignorance is just a bit too much for me to say "eh, mistakes happen"
Hopefully he doesn't have to pay any sort of serious consequences though. Not deserved.
All this aside, I do find this a bit amusing that NASCAR's biggest villain of the last 30 years, maybe ever, finds himself in this situation as he's starting with a new team.

Tbh the irony is that his new boss actually did shoot at some people a few years ago. Kind of like an initiation for him.

Translation is epic:
Cancun.- Kurt Thomas Busch, the speed car driver who competes in the Nascar Cup, will have to spend three and a half years in a state prison after being arrested at the Cancun International Airport, when apparently trying to travel to the United States United with a firearm without a license and six cartridges for the exclusive use of the Armed Forces.
According to the investigation folder of the Attorney General's Office ( FGR ), the arrest occurred on January 27, when elements of the National Guard responded to a signal made by private security personnel from the FBO flight terminal. private, at the mentioned airport.
The now detained man, originally from the state of Nevada, was allegedly found in his suitcase with a caliber firearm. 380, with a magazine stocked with six useful hollow point cartridges.
Therefore, two days later, the Agent of the Federal Public Ministry presented him before the Control Judge, who qualified the detention as legal and linked this foreigner to the process.
Finally, through an abbreviated procedure, the judge handed down a conviction of three and a half years in prison and a fine of 20,748 pesos.
Kurt Thomas Buschis famous in his country for coming from a family of racers, as well as for being a motorist who is frequently in the top positions of the Nascar Cup, the main stock car contest in the United States .
In this competition, he was champion in 2004, third in 2002 and fourth in 2009.

I'll tell you my experiences flying out of Concord Regional FBO, I park my car, get my suitcase out of the trunk and my laptop bag, walk in the front door and right out the back to the plane, pilot loads my ( our) stuff then we are gone. Everytime. They do have TSA for the public flights like American, Spirit, Allegiant etc... I have not flown international out of CR FBO but in my mind I dont see how it would be any different to board the plane.

It may have been secured in his baggage from Charlotte.

Not a Bush fan at all, but I hope that's the end of it, and he doesn't face any more legal problems. It's not like he shot someone or anything. He just packed his bag ....... like Griner did.

Well that would explain how he got it to Mexico no issues. When we went through security/customs upon arrival I don't remember any kind of x rays and none of us had our stuff went through. But we were commercial both ways. Mexico must have something for outbound private flights obviously.

A coherent news item. Finally ...
Here is an explanation of the laws in Mexico and why Kyle Bush will not be doing jail time.

And a high profile NASCAR driver would probably want some protection travelling to a nation where the word "police" means absolutely nothing and cartels rule.

I thought the 3 1/2 year prison sentence was crazy exorbitant, but now I see you can buy your way out of it...because Mexico lol.

He went to Cancun, not Chihuahua city. Cancun is relatively safe.

He's no threat to anyone in Mexico, has no priors, and now isn't likely to come back. Letting him buy his way out sounds like a great way to operate. Why spend taxpayer money to lock him up for three years?

Hey, how do we know it isn't Samantha's weapon and that Kyle isn't taking the fall?

Well, it WAS kind of a girly gun. My wife has one and calls it "Short & Wimpy".

Well...you can get avocados from the Dominican Republic or Peru. It is a principle. Bush was convicted to serve 3.5 years in jail. Seriously! This is so incredibly backwards. And the government of Mexico should recognize this. Fine the man and move on.

"Ah. Which principle would that be?", I asked, knowing both our posts aren't long for this forum.

I can see them making a prisoner swap with Cartel Kyle for El Chapo
Do you think that being caught with a gun because you forgot to unpack it, should be punishable by three and half years in prison?
