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. |

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. |

Something seemed mighty weird about the encounter. @RedAngus I thought there are federal laws to avoid getting in trouble with this kind of nonsense. 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. |

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. |
