Doug,
Actually, for the firearms, I was thinking of alternatives, such as an air
rifle. I haven't checked into this yet, but is there some problem with air
rifles in Mexico? Yeah, it's not a "real gun", but a 1200 FPS .177 is
nothing you'd wanna to get smacked with...
Thanks.

Slingshot/wristrocket. :)
No kidding though, the wristrocket is a lethal weapon that some folks
even hunt with.
I wouldn't even tempt fate. First off anything bb gun is just going
to **** off any potential attacker. Anything less than a lethal shot
is going to simply get you hurt badly if not killed outright.
If you actually need a weapon get a hunting permit.
