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

[Stinky The Clown]

I think the law is a little over the top.

I find myself very short of sympathy for gun humpers.

Overall, I'm conflicted.

1. Assuming they will be incarcerated on the dry sliver of land called Grand Turk, I pity them. Dumb

[MineralMan]

2. IDIOTIC.

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

No sympathy.

3. Like someone entering Russia with a THC vape?

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

Reminds me of the movie "Midnight Express" (1978)

4. Carry on luggage is pretty small.

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.

5. It seems excessive, but part of being a responsible gun owner is policing your ammo

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.

6. I would be onboard if it were more than two rifle rounds
