American Faces 12 Years in Jail for Bullets in Turks and Caicos

Рет қаралды 203,935

Ай бұрын

Tourists entering or leaving Turks and Caicos face prison time for possessing firearms or ammunition, as Valerie and Ryan Watson of Oklahoma are finding out. Ryan was left behind from their dream vacation awaiting a bail hearing for carrying four rounds of ammunition in his carry-on luggage. Turks and Caicos Islands are a British territory. The U.S. Embassy has warned tourists that gun laws there say being caught with guns or bullets comes with a minimum sentence of 12 years behind bars.

I remember one time I few to Vietnam with some shatter(marijuana concentrate) in my lower pants pocket I forgot I had.

Thank God they didn't have dogs at the airport those times because I would have gotten pinched for sure

TSA, and airport security in general, is a joke. I recently travelled and had a Leatherman Surge on my belt. That day I went through airport security three times, and immigration once without any problem. I didn't realize I had forgotten to take it off my belt until I was already at the hotel in my destination country. I was worried about getting home with it but, my return flight was the same with no one finding or taking it away from me.

@Not_Expat_Joe Very true. When I was a kid I went to England and back to the US with a folding buck knife in my backpack. Totally forgot it was in there from a camping trip I had taken previous. This was in 2005, so 9/11 was still pretty fresh. TSA never caught it.

That's precisely why it's essential not to use any luggage for flying or international travel to store firearms or ammunition. It's advisable to have a separate set of luggage designated as "sterile," meaning it's entirely separate from the luggage used for transporting or storing firearms or ammunition. This practice helps avoid any mix-ups and ensures compliance with regulations, reducing the risk of legal trouble. Even spent shell casings or any residue of ammunition can potentially lead to legal trouble if discovered during travel. This underscores the importance of ensuring that all luggage used for flying or international travel remains completely free of any firearms, ammunition, or related items to avoid any misunderstandings or legal complications.

Having and obsession with protecting your life when the police won’t always show up on time isn’t the same as obsessing with guns. Regardless, they shouldn’t have brought bullets to another country as said country has every single right in the world to enforce their own laws.

@Akira625 Ай бұрын

IMO, 12 years for ammo is rather harsh, but it’s their country, their laws. Americans who travel abroad need to always remember that the Constitution doesn’t travel with you, and to learn as much you can about the local laws so you don’t afoul of them.

@mayachelsie4072 Ай бұрын

I wish I could say that it was hard to not realize you have bullets in places, but I have had bullets get stuck in the grills of my shoes or bullets fall into my sweatshirt pocket and not realize it until a day or two later. But as many people have said, how did TSA not notice when going through security at their home airport? If it was a carry-on, what the heck. If it was a checked bag, how do you not notice that it was in a suitcase and not in a locked box with you know...everything else?!
