What do you think of the ammo arrests in Turks and Caicos

I think the law is a little over the top.

I find myself very short of sympathy for gun humpers.

Overall, I'm conflicted.

Yep, exactly the same. You have to follow the laws of the country you are visiting. walkingman Apr 27 #7

Carry on luggage is pretty small. Phoenix61 Apr 26 #4

It seems excessive, but part of being a responsible gun owner is policing your ammo NickB79 Apr 26 #5

Only an idiot would have ammo in their luggage for a weapon they don't have with them.

No sympathy.

Where could you “accidentally” stash a bag of ammo? If it was in a weird side pocket and there was nothing else in the pocket maybe but if it was next to his toothbrush….
On a side note, I used to vape nicotine which carries a $2,000 fine in Singapore. I ripped my suitcase apart to make sure there wasn’t a lost cartridge tucked away somewhere.

And I find it extremely stupid that he used the same bag to travel on a plane that he used for the shooting range. Range bags are cheap; use a dedicated one for your guns.

Sincerely, a lifelong gun owner.
