For years have persued my hobby out of the country (live in S. AZ) but with the gun battles in the streets S. of the border and the long lines to get home, it is safer and not that much more $ to stay home and play. Have met with one gal and after I was good with the fact she was the real deal I had a great time. Any suggestions for avoiding a brush with law type folks?

The key is research, research, research!!!!  Get VIP membership, read reviews, look at websites, talk via PM to other hobbyists in your area.

Any girl you want to see should have several reviews, like maybe 8 or more, from established reviewers.  You can click on the reviewer's handle and see how many he has done.  Be wary of girls with only 1-2 reviews and reviewers with similar numbers.  While you may get lucky with one like that, why take the chance.

If you do your background research, you are really lessening your chances of a brush with Uncle LEO.

Happy hobbying,
