Texas Ranchers notified by State Govt about Cartel IED’s and violence increase

Agreed. As time passed I realized I could have been more neighborly even though they had treated me as though I was a gun crazed kook. But even today I still would not jeopardize my safety, freedom, and property to defend them. Had I gone out there, I potentially would've put myself in the position of having to defend myself for someone else's problem. Had I been forced to shoot the person, I surely would've spent at the very least that night in jail. And to further add insult to injury, the perp or the perp's family would've probably sued me and taken everything I own in a civil suit. Out of curiosity, what would you have done under the same circumstances?

OR the PD could have shown up, seen YOU armed and acted accordingly

What would have happened if the “perp” turned out to be their own family. I’ve seen the neighbors sibling show up in the middle of the night at their house. cause the girlfriend kicked em out .. again

Nah, I think we agree the cartels need to go. If the ones in charge want to use Predators and some high-speed operators to make that happen with Mexico's approval then I'd say go with god. Sicario was a good movie, and could be a good documentary.

Where we diverge here is that if they are on the Mexican side and shooting at Americans on the US side I absolutely wouldn't worry about getting approval from the Mexican government.

Oh, we don't diverge there. Send rounds our way and we send them back. We only diverge on sending operators or ordinance into an estate in Chihuahua without approval from the Mexican government.

I don't disagree with that. One caveat though. If the Mexican government doesn't allow us to pursue enemy combatants and they won't pursue them theirselves then we have a problem.

That's a tougher call. Cross the border with something harmful and they can expect a .338 pill to the dome. Violating another nation's sovereignty is another thing. I was onboard with bin Laden, it's tougher with a drug dealer when a lot of Americans really like their drugs. Hell, from my 20s I can say you'll never, ever feel better than you do after a few lines of coke and dancing with some pretty young thing. Bar none, that is the most euphoric feeling I've ever had. I wouldn't do it now, but some of the drug trade is self inflicted because they do feel amazing. My only point here is operating on Mexico's territory without Mexican permission. Drugs aren't coming here without being invited, unlike terrorism. Some cartel mule crossing the border with a load of yayo is rolling the dice with his grey matter meeting 55gr of lead but going there is a bit different.

Don't misunderstand me brother. I am not advocating cross border raids for drug dealing. I'm talking about going after enemy combatants. That is people who have killed or attempted to kill Americans on American soil.
