The guy with the few rounds was careless/forgetful/dumbass and broke the island's BS law. However, it should be clear to the island's government that the guy wasn't some sort of criminal terrorist, and that's why people are calling the place a shit hole. Time to send him home with a fine or something. He's already been spending time in jail if they wanted to make an example out of him. Continuing to keep him there just reinforces the shit hole reputation IMO.
ETA - a seemingly nice place can still be a shit hole when it's a little too authoritarian for my liking. |

This is more a reason not to fly with ammo in your bag. Period. Especially on an airplane. Easpecially out of the country.
Turks & Caicos really has nothing to do with it. Arfcom GD Basement-Dweller's warped perception of reality has a lot to do with it. |

Maybe caning, too. More than a tiny personal (read single dose) use amount, pushing you into what they consider drug smuggler/dealer territory = death sentence. Want to be a retard and bring your THC vape? Roll the dice. As mentioned, you can get flagged and bagged in US airports. I’m not sure that there are ANY airports that are fine with unsecured ammo or firearms. |

Whenever you go to a foreign country you should check everything every pocket. It ain’t no secret some country’s will make an example of you if you screw up. If not sure check it twice.
IMO this is the equivalent of someone caught with drugs and saying they didn’t know they were there. Or ones who try and take their ccw gun into a court or wherever not allowed claiming they didn’t know they were carrying. |

There are supposed to be, but I have heard a few stories (in MSM news articles) of people getting arrested for just such circumstances (“possessing” illegal firearms/ammo in NY/NJ) that I wasn’t about to give them the opportunity to shake me down. Especially when the agreed upon conditions had changed, i.e., the guns were legally checked through to final destination but all of a sudden had to be claimed in a banned state and they argued aggressively for it. Make no mistake, checked guns in airline baggage are tracked accurately with all airlines through all states nowadays. No way the airlines in NJ didn’t know what was in my baggage. I could be wrong, but there was absolutely no way I was going to take possession of my guns and ammo in a state where they were illegal to possess that also had a history of questionable prosecution of such possession. I believe NJ also has a history of pulling over out-of-state license plate vehicles and searching for ‘illegal’ firearms/ammo that are actually legally being transported through the state. |

Besides the oft-missed contraband that makes it through TSA checkpoints which is enough to show that it's merely there to make you feel better, consider that if a terrorist sneaks a bomb on board and successfully detonates it in the air. How many casualties? 225 or so, maximum? So, to avoid this potential disaster, the government has now created TSA checkpoints. On busy days such as holiday travel days, you might have 4, 5, 600 people queued up, elbows-to-assholes, waiting to get through the checkpoint with ZERO security measures in place before this bottleneck. A few evil-doers with suicide vests on scattered through the TSA queue would make the body count of a single plane being taken out look like a good deal. Heck, add a few more with some firearms to open fire on the crowd before/during/after the explosions and you could bump up the casualty count even more... since there's NO security before the checkpoint. A few terrorists with guns covering each escape route? Yikes. They could just walk right in and do whatever they wanted while everyone is queued up like sheep being ushered into the slaughterhouse. WTF are Elbows-to-Assholes ? I would like to see that ! http://www.howlatthemoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/tumblr_nb1m7iYXUb1t1dqxlo1_400.gif I'm guessing you've never been in the U.S. military. Before you could choose your own pronoun, the military sometimes would use language that might cause hurt feelings. Ackshually, the term “I wanna see assholes and elbows” means, “Y’all better get moving, NOW! I don’t want to see anything but your rears, moving THAT way”. Get it? Those are body parts you can usually only see on moving people, from behind. It makes no sense for describing a crowd, or queue. The slang for that, is “Nut to butt” Not that I've ever heard. Or the use of the term "queue" by anyone speaking colloquial American English. “Queued” is in the very first post in the multiquote string. Considering how this thread has gone, I rest my case. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GlockCamper: I don't think he intentionally packed the damn ammo. Ever heard of a mistake? 12 years in prison sound reasonable to you for a few loose rounds being forgotten about in the bottom of a bag? And yes, I'll be staying out of Turks as well as your fucked up state. Like no one every lied about carrying contraband. Fuck him, get a range bag that never leaves the state without full consideration, |

Man, do you guys have dedicated range vehicles, too? Because a few rounds of forgotten ammo somewhere in your vehicle can get you jammed up at an international border crossing, too. Probably not 12 year prison sentence jammed up when crossing into Canada or Mexico, but still…
I have a dedicated range bag that would be really unsuitable for air travel, so that’s not much of a problem for me. My potential issue would be that I have occasionally traveled with firearms and/or ammo and/or accessories. I am not going to buy and store multiple sets of luggage for multiple destinations. Just be smart about it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AA717driver: DON’T EVER TAKE YOUR RANGE BAG ANYWHERE BUT THE RANGE!!!!! A friend I flew with was a reserve deputy on his days off and a Federal Flight Deck Officer. He did a Mexico City trip and they found a couple 10mm rounds in his backpack. He ALMOST ended up in prison—had he not been a FFDO he would have. Dumb mistake. You would think this would be common sense....but it seems like every idiot that gets caught with some ammo or a gun in their bag, used their range back to travel with....and forgot to clean it out all the way. Stupid all the way around..... |

Shithole latam / Caribbean nations all have way worse customs controls going into US than coming in. Wasn't that where he was caught? It's nearly certainly the US that ultimately the reason for this. It's painfully clear to me everytime I take a latam flight into the US that the US has cucked them into being total assholes on the way out, I suspect US gives them some massive incentive to find/limit contraband heading to US.
If you ever fly into Panama City, take note of just how much worse the controls are for the flights headed to USA than everywhere else. |
