Personally, I would not go to one of those shit hole countries, you are really asking for it. Personally for me, there is plenty to see and do right here in the good ole USA. Love the slogan, "See the USA in your Chevrolet," remember Chevrolet used to be the sponsor of Bonanza?

Watson is home, but her husband, Ryan Watson, is in jail on the island and facing a potential mandatory minimum sentence of 12 years behind bars after airport security allegedly found four rounds of hunting ammo in his carry-on bag earlier this month. Last year, a judge found Michael Grim from Indiana had "exceptional circumstances" when he pleaded guilty to accidentally having ammunition in his checked bag. He served almost six months in prison. "No clean running water. You're kind of exposed to the environment 24/7," he told CBS News. "Mosquitoes and tropical illnesses are a real concern. There's some hostile actors in the prison." The judge was hoping to send a message to other Americans. "[His] sentencing was completely predicated on the fact that I was an American," Grim said. Drop a hellfire or JDAM on the judge's house. Sometimes it really is better to be loved than feared. You want to stereotype us or discriminate based on our nationality? Fine, sometimes we'll live up to the worst of stereotypes, and you won't like it, asshole. |

Costa Rica doesn’t have a military either. Why would your Cajun navy want to attack an island that just keeps to itself? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Too-Tall: Not ammo, but still... So there I was.... Combat Engineer, doing some fun stuff on the range during the week. Come Saturday, flying from Brussels to San Francisco via New York. Security and boarding the flight to New York went fine. Arrived in New York, transfer time! No idea how or why but found myself in a line that went through a separate screening. Had to stick my hands in a thing resembling one of those air dryers in a bathroom. Felt a puff of air. *sound of sirens* I look up at the TSA guy sitting in the booth controlling the thingie. He was wearing glasses, and I could see the reflection of the computer monitor. It was flashing bright red. That's about the only thing I could do, since a splitsecond later I was surrounded by 4 dudes who all but lifted me off the ground by my arms. Was taken to a separate room with a very thick door, lots of locks and no window. It took about half an hour including a call to the Centre of Ops in Brussels to confirm who I was to get them to relax. After they told me I was free to go, I said no problem, but wouldn't it have been more useful doing this check prior to flying to the US? They kindly asked me to carry on with my travel, so I did. Several showers between the range and the detection, guess the RDX was still in my fingernails... As retarded as TSA is, they don’t run the security in Brussels airport. Maybe they should screen better in waffle land? Or just keep out and kick out all the “likely bombers” of the euro zone. Glad it worked out ok though. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RedAngus: No thanks. I flew to PA last year for a wildlife capture CE, had my 1911 and a backup with extra magazines for both in my checked bags. Flight was supposed to land in Newark for a 30 minute delay, then on to PA. Once on the ground in Newark, they said we had to disembark and claim our luggage, then transfer to another plane. I declined to claim my bag. They got nasty about it, but I told them I had checked it through to PA and that's where they could deliver it. Period. LOts of arguing later, I got on the plane and departed. My bag was on the carousel when I arrived in PA. I have no way of knowing for sure, but my guess is I would have been arrested for illegal firearms had I claimed possession of my guns in NJ that day. Something seemed mighty weird about the encounter. I fly to NH almost every year with guns and this is my plan if a flight is diverted to a conus dictatorship and I’m asked to claim it. Nope it can go onto the destination because that’s what I paid for them to do. If they refuse then I’m leaving it there and filing a theft report with the FAA and ATF. Don’t care what’s in the case I’ll buy another. Lots of countries governments hate foreigners Americans in particular. I have no plans on leaving the USA for vacation to another country but if I ever do damn skippy I’m checking every resource I can before I buy a fucking ticket. As others have stated just go with bare minimum and source what you need there. Goes easier. They are punishing an American that’s all they care about. |

As it’s making its way through the city, the bus driver takes several side streets to get around the heavy rush hour traffic. Of course, I’m looking out the window, wide-eyed, taking in all the sights of a different country. After noticing something, I turn to my parents and say, “Thai people must really love their pets”. My mom says, “What makes you say that?”. I replied, “They sure have a lot of VD clinics. We passed 5 in just the last 2 streets”. The whole back of the tour bus starts laughing. I’m puzzled, and as my mom’s wiping tears from her eyes, she says, “And what do you think VD Clinic stands for?”. My dumbass says, “I thought it meant Veterinarian Doctor”.

Turns out, the big bag of peanuts I bought at Walmart had 3 or 4 live 22LR rounds in it. Odd headstamps, no I didn't think of taking pictures of them. I was picking out the peanut shells and skins before leaving Lucerne, Switzerland for the Zurich airport when I found them. I tossed them in a dumpster. My host freaked out when I told her. She thought someone would be killed if they "went off". Never again will I carry food stuff in original packaging without checking through it first. Ironically, you made it through three airports that would have turned your asshole inside out and thrown you in jail, then discovered it before Zurich airport, which wouldn’t have really cared.

This was only a few days after air travel opened back up after 9-11 so they were super tense. I was in that room for a few hours while they tried to reach my deputy son for him to confirm we had been shooting with that bag present. Which confirms the exact reason why I have luggage specifically for travel-only, and range/firearms bags for range/firearms use. Oh noes! I guess some ‘Muricans need to stay out of that shithole known as Florida

Not that I could ever afford to travel, but if you CAN afford to travel, you can afford to buy separate luggage that never gets used for anything travel.
If you've ever had a piece of luggage, backpack, purse, carry-on, or anything like that in the same room with guns, forget using it. It's not worth the risk u less you have your own X ray machine. Also, fuck anyone who thinks we need laws like that anywhere on earth. |

Fuck travel advisories I guess....

Living here for 3 years and I never even saw an argument let alone anyone needing to use a weapon for self defense. ETA also learn what the laws are for any country before you visit there. In one country, Singapore, for example it is illegal to chew gum or smoke cigarettes in public and some drug possession might earn you the death penalty. Learn the laws of the country you are visiting ? LOL Welcome to the United States , please learn the the US code of federal regulations before you enter . And if you are visiting a state please learn that state's laws as well . Oh , by the way can you read English ? /media/mediaFiles/sharedAlbum/dumbass-27.jpg The poster that I quoted stated . "If you can't carry a gun and ammo there, it's a shithole country" and my response was the post that you failed to understand. I'll say it again. Double down if you will.

If you don’t want people to think you’re a scaredy cat, simply refrain from telling them the rationalizations as to why you’re afraid to travel. Talk about anything else. |
