The governors of Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and Virginia wrote a letter Tuesday asking the territory to show mercy to the Americans arrested on the island.
12 years seems like a long time, but a couple years of prison for bringing a weapon to a country that has illegalized those weapons and states very clearly that you can be prosecuted for bringing those weapons?
Oh, thanks, I thought I read the woman had ammunition only, but the four earlier tourists were carrying guns. They were apparently not!
Still, if the airport explicitly tells you not to carry firearm ammunition into the country under penalty of prosecution, and then you carry firearm ammunition into the country, you can’t be shocked by prosecution.
She got prosecuted for attempting to take the 2 rounds of ammo OUT of the country not IN. Those 2 rounds in cost about 40 cents (for both) here. Assuming they were 9mm rounds, as they are the most popular rounds around.
Yes, as far as I understand, the most recent arrest was made for possessing illegal firearm ammunition inside a country where firearm ammunition is illegal under penalty of prosecution.
Please back this claim up, because I honestly believe it’s completely made up. Because even someone else in this thread points to another case where it was just 4 rounds of ammo.
Make the world a safer place, Turks and Caicos.
