This turning into a guns vs no guns thread. It will be shut down if we don’t keep it civil. You have a right, at least for now, to own and in some cases, carry a firearm. We also have a right not to. We accept the consequences of not owning a firearm just as you should accept the consequences of owning/carrying a firearm. I have been to NYC, San Antonio, Chicago, London, Paris, Monterey Mexico, Istanbul, Anchorage, Seattle, Portland, St Louis, East St Louis and many more. There’s a song in there somewhere. The point I’m trying to make is we aren’t afraid to go to these places and we don’t feel a need to be carrying a weapon.
As for the woman traveling to Mexico, I wouldn’t advise it. Not only would would she have to worry about criminals but the police and the military. Not worth it.
