If you travel with firearms, you always keep them and the ammo in their own bags. Don't ever mix them in with your luggage.

@jandoel Месяц назад

This probably sounds absolutely wild to anyone outside the US, but a lot of us just panicked at the thought.

@RobertDixon-sw3dz Месяц назад

His story has touched the heart strings of so many. Now his go fund me is approaching 250k. He will come out ahead.

I don't understand why people keep their firearms and ammo in their suitcases

@JonesyMcDanes Месяц назад

well they don't let you take them in your carry on so the suitcase is where they usually go

Nah, they just setting extra rules cuz they have more control 9ver their people. We have more freedoms. Shouldve been kore careful though.

Prayers from Edmond, OK. We have so many hunters in this state. It would be so easy to miss a bag in your suitcase.

If you go abroad, respect their laws! Why would you have ammo in your suitcase? The old "that is not mine" excuse doesn't work...

I believe this man. Why just carry bullets without a gun. Just bullets is crazy for a 12 year prison term. If he had a gun i can understand that. I hope he gets help from the US. He doesn't look like someone who would do this on purpose. This is so sad this happened. Better be extra careful when you travel to these other countries.

@tessamoland797 Месяц назад

International countries toughen up their laws because of what the nonsense that happens here in the US.

@bobcatbigpaws5597 Месяц назад

Why would he just take bullets. The bullets could be in a place he didn't see them. What kind of bullets are these. Are they bullets used for deer hunting. More needs to be checked out. These short videos is what they want us to see.

Either way he's an irresponsible gun owner. It's illegal in the country and he should face the punishment for it. Him and the other 2 guys.

@dang8326 Месяц назад

Anybody who hunts or goes to the range knows how easy it is to tuck a couple rounds of loose ammo in a pouch and forget about it. Shot happens. Places needs to have common sense about these things and use discretion instead of beimg lazy and just slamming people regardless of circumstances.

@boomskwadprezchannel1992 28 дней назад

For him to get through the airport while traveling to get to Turks and Caicos shows the privilege certain groups have by default in america. Dont do the crime if you cant do the time.
