I travel a lot, both with and without guns. And ammo has a way of ending up in the weirdest little folds of your backpack and clothes.

Sounds like ammo should be handled carefully

Okay, So good on you for admitting you are not capable of keeping track of your shit.

US government still shouldnt be stepping in to protect you from your flagrant disregard for competency.

If that's the case you shouldn't be trusted with guns and ammo

You don't sound like a very smart person.

You sound like a judgemental cunt

Dumb and tactless. The classic gun-nut combo.

You literally called him stupid. Wasn't that tactless?

Go read the person's comments. I think most will agree that their behavior is dumb in every sense of the word. They need to know that. Not that anything will change, but at least they've been called out.

Sooo you being tactless is okay, but them doing the same to you isn't.

Calling someone dumb for being dumb is not tactless. Calling someone a cunt for calling out their objective stupidity is tactless.

Both are equally tactless, and all what you are doing right now is mental gymnastics to feel superior to a guy that called you names as a reaction to you calling them names. You are the one who started not being civil here.

I travel with and without. I have bags specifically for firearms and ammo. That way when I travel somewhere that having just one round of 22lr might be an issue I use a bag that never had my firearm stuff. It eliminates the uncertainty.

Kewl. Till one actually slips by and you are getting 10 years in jail for it.

poor, poor persecuted gun nuts. why won't someone think of the gun nuts?! ah, they're truly the victims.

lol. go to Caribbean jail

Ah yes, "let's put them all to death for owning guns" crowd is here.

ah the 'violate sovereign nation's laws' crowd is here.

how many times do you think they should ignore their laws being violated? 3? 5? 12?

Ryan Watson, 40, of Oklahoma, a father of two who was most recently arrested for unknowingly having ammo in his bag on April 12, remains on the island. Both men previously told Fox News Digital that they had the ammo in their bags from prior hunting trips.

Michael Lee Evans, 72, pleaded guilty to having ammunition in his bag on April 24, according to local news outlet the Turks & Caicos Sun. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for June 18.

What a childish take.
