Went shooting in Mexico

and my extremly drunk friend "borrowed" a fully loaded handgun. Note, 5 min later when walking back to our hotel he takes a swig of tequila screams on the top of his lungs, ay! ay! ay! and starts shooting the gun in the air. Within 30 seconds a jeep with 4 police with rifles are pointing their guns at us screaming in spanish. We all hit the deck and were thrown in a Mexican Jail. When my friend fessed up, my other 2 friends and I were cut looose. We then had to run to a bunch of ATM's maxing out our daily withdrawl limit to make bail for our friend and went back across the border.
