harder to eliminate at the end of a hunting trip. It does seem to me a rather casual relationship to have with live ammunition that it floats loose inside your gear bag.
It also seems just a tiny bit privileged to take the view that it should not matter how your host country views handling weapons and ammunition differently from wherever you are from.
I don't see this as a life sentence kind of offence, but I'm having a very hard time being sympathetic to fools who presume they are masters of the world because they own personal firearms. Which this sure looks like from the outside. These are certainly not the first Americans to make this kind of error, insulting their host country's laws and conventions.
Recall the story of a certain young American who thought it would be a hoot to commit vandalism in Singapore. His acts were intended insult and harm. In some Arab states he could have received far worse than a caning.
If I take these folks at their word that they intended no harm, I still have the explicit law of Turks and Caicos to consider. What the gun rights crews will make of this seems rather obvious. However any interpretation of the US 2nd Amendment bears no weight in Turks and Caicos. How do we not support a country who views weapons far differently than we do enough to make strict laws about how they are to be controlled?
