I just heard the tail end of this on a radio show today. I think they said that the guy was shooting skeet in Turks and Caicos, and left a few shotgun shells in his pocket. Considering they say firearm possession in the T&C is illegal - shooting skeet there is quite the feat.

Clearly the punishment fits the crime, gosh, might as well behead the guy, such a heinous crime. Oh, and the real drug and gun smugglers, please use security line bravo and have your cash ready. To the rest of the world, "Turks and Caicos is great, we are tough on crime, please spend your money here."

If they wish to be that way about it, let 'em. Just don't go there. Joe Bob nailed it pretty good back on page 3 of this thread. Spread the word to avoid that chithole and the greedy azzwipes that run it. I sure hope that guy can get some help from the U.S. government, but with our current administration I wouldn't expect much. The guy's married to a woman and obviously shoots guns. So he's not in a protected class. Now if he were a transgendered activist lunatic I'm sure the U.S. Government would have him out of there so fast his head would be spinning.

Considering they say firearm possession in the T&C is illegal - shooting skeet there is quite the feat. My guess would be at some kind of licensed club or range where they own the guns. As I read this - you must be licensed to purchase or possess ammo and you must be licensed to discharge it. 3. (1) No person (other than a licensed gunsmith in the course of his trade)
shall keep, carry, discharge or use any firearm or ammunition unless he is the
holder of a firearm licence with respect to such firearm, or in case of ammunition
he is the holder of a licence for a firearm which takes that ammunition. That seems to preclude non-TCI people, non licensed people from possession/use at all due to lack of license.

I sure am glad Mississippi is different from the eastern states. My wife and I were heading west out of Jackson and TSA called us over - held up a 9mm hollowpoint that had remained in the bottom of her bag after we had cleaned it out and properly packaged her CCW pistol in checked luggage.
He asked, "What would you like to do with this?" Offered to drop it in the trash if we didn't want to take the time to get it into checked luggage.
Just that simple, just that easy on all involved. Yay, Mississippi!

I'm sorry.The guy is a dumb ass. You don't go to Caribbean to shoot skeet. And you sure as hell don't leave shells in your carry on luggage. What a putz.

Why do people delight in traveling to poor countries where they're disliked / unwelcome.
Sense of arrogant superiority, maybe ? Warm sandy beaches and drinks with little umbrellas in them. Turks and Caicos is a cesspool. MANY better places to go. Yeah, but is it a CHEAP cesspool? Probably. But, I don't look at costs for a vacation there anymore because I've had many friends go there and tell me what a schithole it was when they got back. Doan know... Ain't never been... Haiti 2.0? No. Don't think it's that bad, but they view Americana as chickens to be plucked and they are aggressive toward that end.

Some folks ain't rich like us thought, and have to go where they can afford.  Geno, There is so much bad press out there for Turks and Caicos I find it unbelievable that people will still pay to go there from the US. People still go to parts of Mexico that are cartel controlled. And there's some that still go to the Middle East, Egypt, N Africa, etc. As much as I'd like to go to some of those places, I'm smart enough to know it likely ain't a good idea if I want to come back. I hear you. I've been to MX many times, but don't currently have any desire to return. Love the DIY fishing there. I've been many times to places where I may not see another human all day long. It's an incredible experience. But, in terms of risk vs reward, it's just not a good idea any more. Especially since crime and the cartels have become commonplace in tourist areas. I'm more inclined now toward a mountain stream in WY, MT, or river in NC.

On this evening's national news, the guy's wife described them as gold-colored "bullets" in a zip lock bag detected on the way out. Much like the press, I don't think she was bright enough to know the difference. That being, we still don't know if they were empties, loaded rounds, or slugs. Same as CBD oil in Russia. Just don't do that.
I suspect a few $$$ in the right pockets can get him out.

I suspect a few $$$ in the right pockets can get him out. He's straight so Biden won't help him out. You have to be a pervert to get his attention.
