I've just begun my research on moving to Mexico or Costa Rica and would like to know how difficult it is to bring my pets (6 dogs & 1 cat) to either of these destinations. Also, and more important, my father passed away recently and I have a collection of his old and not so old guns (some he built himself) that I will not part with. I've read that you cannot bring guns into Mexico, but is there any way possible, maybe if the firing mechanisms are removed? Any help or advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
