People this is why you need a dedicated gun bag. Dont pack your guns and ammo in any old suitcase.
Or stop being scared and leave your guns at home.
You got that right.
@@RichardQuaid no one is scared of you, softy.
@@RichardQuaid Hey propagandist .... his rifles are hunting rifles.
@@deadsolarsystem6298 So. He's selfish, how hard is it to keep track of a box of ammunition?
It’s always wise to check one’s luggage for everything before packing it, especially when you are traveling out of the country
This is kind of like saying, I don’t know how that kilo of cocaine got into my luggage.
@@Drawkcab_Gnik Not obvious to these Oklahoma Xtians apparently. They were slow on the uptake. They found out now tho.
White...Christians.....Oklahomans....bullets......CLEARLY Republicans and President Biden will likely intervene to get them out. If they were clearly liberals Trump would let them rot over there.
Some countries, like Mexico, etc., will simply plant something in your luggage and then demand $10,000 or a year in a crappy jail.
lmao from all the republic*nt comments i see about never going there, it seems these plebs can't check their bags to save their lives
It’s 100% his fault for A) not checking what was in his own bag and B) not checking foreign laws. The rest of the world is not America especially when it comes to firearms. People need to learn to take accountability for their own actions
Never do anything to end up in a foreign jail
Including don't enter a foreign country
What you don't grasp is that if one doesn't know one is doing something, one might end up in a foreign jail. And, with the current administration in Washington, I hope these men don't expect help from our State Department.
@@kathleeneparker98 I do understand to review the laws where you are going and he is not the first Hunter this has happened to
)0( ok
Don’t let your wife pack your bag, especially if you’ve been fighting a lot lately. ... It’s not just 2 men being charged with this crime, but 3 men. ... I believe their wives are planting the ammo to set them up and get rid of them.
He said TSA missed it. Don't count on the US government for help.
They missed a box of bullets and now the entire government is bad, funny Americans …
“TSA screening in the United States may not identify ammunition in your baggage; it is your responsibility to ensure your baggage is free of ammunition and/or firearms,”
@@nicooosterlynck4030 TSA probably helped their wives set them up. 3 men are being charged with this same crime right now. ... highly suspicious
@@hanshansen3885 I’m sure America’s enemies will be glad to know this.
It's pretty well known that a shocking amount of illegal things actually gets through TSA. It's all security theater.
Other countries don’t play, like here in America.
People didn't learn their lesson after the Briney Griner incident.
Always be 100% sure what is inside your luggage and always pack your bags yourself
😅
wow if only the airlines warned you about that.
Funny how recently “3 men” are being charged with this same crime. Perhaps they’re letting their disgruntled wives pack their luggage? ... This smacks of foul play.
Yeah this is common sense. Literally the airports have been saying this on loop since September 2001. This is his own fault, no better than Britney Griner leaving weed in her luggage
@@lawrencetalbot8346 OK, if it’s so common sense, then can we please start considering that perhaps someone planted the ammo in his luggage, and the other two men? ... Someone setting them up perhaps?
You've got to always always go through your luggage when traveling. Other countries don't look at gun laws the same way.
It is possible that he did that.
Don't misinterpret this as ANYTHING TO DO WITH GUN REGULATIONS. This appears to be a law carefully contrived toward other ends.
Did he go through TSA here?
@@BillyColeII-dr6dk he said he did. TSA didn't catch it.
Try explaining that to an American who thinks they are number one everywhere and other people s culture and laws are silly.
Another one that makes the rest of us look stupid. You leave this country you must abide by their laws
Such a stupid comment
Time to remove that place to visit off your traveling list.

When you travel overseas or on a commercial airliner, it is the passengers responsibility to know what they should and should not bring. PERIOD
You're telling me you just started throwing clothes in a bag without looking into the bag?

@@deadsolarsystem6298 You have no idea where he went.
Exactly. States have different laws regarding pot and ammo not to mention the feds at airport security so you BETTER BELIEVE I would double check my bags before traveling overseas.

I had this happen to me. Went to Texas on motorcycle. Forgot I kept bullets in side compartment. I used to say the same. It can happen to anyone
This island main subsistence consists of tourism. All the state department needs to do is to claim this island “Travel Not Recommended “ and their economy will crash. More than 50% of their tourists are from the US. It’s very simple, let our people go or loose half of your business coming to the island.
I'd say that with all the publicity the State Department doesn't need to do anything. I predict the collapse of their tourist economy if they don't mend their ways quickly.
@@kathleeneparker98 Relax, they will not waste their resources to imprison someone all this time for an innocent mistake (if we get to believe this man). But kudos for them for having tough laws, so their islands will not be crime infested.
Dude why will the Biden administration do that for a fox news/Trump supporter? Most probably he will rot in Trukey
What an arrogant statement. Turks and caicos is a beautiful place with beautiful people. This man broke their laws. This isn't even news.
@@hus390(if we get to believe this man) Your comment was fine til you added that. Is there the tiniest doubt this was unintentional?

In this case, Biden would be right
Never, go overseas with ammo, stupid mistake… I don’t care if he knew or didn’t think about it! You are in a foreign country, they don’t care …
Three men are being charged. They are not the ones putting the ammo in their luggage. Someone is setting them up.
Don't take your hunting bag
Umm how did the ammo get to Turks and Caicos in the first place? Didn’t his bag get scanned on the flight there?
TSA kinda sucks at their job.
In 1994, a court in Singapore sentenced an American teenager, Michael Fay, to be lashed six times with a cane for violating the Vandalism Act. After spending 83 days in jail, he was released early on 21 June on grounds of good behavior, and left Singapore for the US the next day. In the US the kid would have been given a sentence of community service hours and fined instead of jailed and whipped with a cane; know the laws of the country you are visiting or you can be spending years in prison!
The two stories are completely unrelated. Michael Fay was purposely vandalizing property in a foreign country; this couple was stopped in an international airport with four rounds of ammunition which was clearly unintentional
In the USA, most don’t even get a slap on the hand.

How do you get bullets in your luggage. While packing for a vacation to travel outside of United States.
That's what I'm asking myself!
Good question. I wondered about that as well.
He probably used it for hunting or a range bag. It's pretty common for ammo to fall out of its flimsy cardboard box.

*Pardon* please They don’t want it.
There is a reason why my range bag doesn’t double as my travel bag and here it is. It also shows how alert the TSA is. When I went hunting, I took ten rounds. Before I left the hunting area, I accounted for all ten rounds live and empty. Putting my rifle or shotgun away, I accounted for all ten. Sounds anal but I never sat behind bars either.
Im guessing OKC's TSA is lacking on their security. Dont they scan any and all bags?
There's still a human element to that.
What does being a hunter and legal gun owner in OK have anything to do with the law in Turks and Caicos that imposes heavy punishment on anyone who brings ammo into the country? BTW, the USA doesn't allow any traveler to bring ammo into the USA also, and violators will face 5- 40 years in prison and a fine up to US$5mil for an individual....No country, including the USA wants to be like Haiti where the country is falling into chaos and violence because ammos had been pouring into Haiti from overseas....so every country has a tough law to ban travelers from bringing in ammo. The law in OK is not the universal law of the world.....
The source I looked at said up to 10 years and/or a fine of no more than $1 million and there's no mandatory minimum. The wording also makes a note of stressing "willingly" so perhaps claiming ignorance of just a few bullets that got misplaced has more weight. The higher limits are likely reserved for illegal dealers.
For this “crime,” intent matters far more than the actual action.
so what would happen if an gentleman from palestine was found with four bullets in his bag on his flight to vermont...what would you want the gov't to do then? is it the intent? or would you be pissed cause he's darker than a jar of mayonnaise? stop drinking lead paint you old a** boomer

Funny thing is they didn't catch it on the flight over

I wonder if they will actually hold him in Turks and Caicos. We have been there on a Cruise. The jail is so small and do you know the prisoners just go over the fence there and have drinks with the police and then go back to bed. It is very small and not much going on there. So how did they get in trouble there? Did they go by plane? Not sure they even have an airport.
Wow that many people don't check their bags before traveling out of the country?!

I hear you but I wouldn't be surprised if it's illegal in America to carry bullets.
As someone who handloads ammunition and regularly carries firearms and ammo in my bags, I feel for this guy. Its easier than many would think to overlook a few rounds in the bottom of a bag when firearms are a part of your daily life. I almost made a similar mistake .....had one round in some crevice of a backpack and only found it because I happened to hold the bag upside-down to give it one final shake before packing.
Same here. Had a loaded clip, stashed in a hidden compartment in my backpack that was forgotten. Luckily TSA allowed me to run it back to my vehicle.

@@distanceismyplastercast you must be one of the non-humans that never makes mistakes or misplaces small things and is neurotically on top of every single aspect of their life 24/7, so they can judge and shame others for being human and normal. I hope you don’t have a spouse or kids.
@@distanceismyplastercastlol, my guns are usually in safes if I’m not around. This scenario had nothing to do with a gun, just ammo. Unsecured ammo doesn’t usually fire on its own as far as I know 😉….if that were the case I doubt stores would have it sitting out on shelves just like any other item. I have two young daughters that help me make ammo sometimes, know gun safety, and love to shoot.
@joshs1566 how often do you have a bonfire or just burn yard debris? Neighbors down the road did that and their kids tossed ammo onto the fire. The shell went right through a bathroom window. Someone could have been hurt really badly. Ammo is not safe without a gun. You should know that. Do better.
This is just messed up, its clearly a oversight anyone with common sense could see that
No it's stupidity
Even a single stoner traveler dude like myself who has made many mistakes in his life would not do that, and I own many calibers. America needs to take some lessons from these small islands like this and Cayman, they take immigration and stuff very seriously. Some even have camouflage clothing bans. Fox, you can do better.

Lessons to be learned here and hopefully the consequences are not extreme. But my concern is how is TSA missing these items getting on a plane? With the amount of crime and possible threats coming in with our open borders, this is quite disturbing.
Responsible gun owners keep up with where they put their ammo. Even if he uses the same bag for hunting trips in the US anybody with a little common sense would always keep track of what they put in their luggage when taking an out of country trip. It's up to the traveler to learn and follow the laws of whatever country they're visiting.

A little strange…. 🤔 My question is how does ammo get into your suitcase?

@@suer3818that's like asking how a geologist could have misplaced a couple small pebbles. It happens, especially if things are small. What should he have done? Put an apple air tag on every bullet? 😂
I am sure your diarrhea will disappear soon, try closing your mouth.
Could be a Setup? How countries get big money from America
So lesson... vacation only in the US...and our protectorates.
You still can't fly with bullets, genius
Or find out if you can take guns, or ammo, or cocaine, etc with you before yo pack your bags.
I think the simple lesson here is that when you are in another country that countries laws apply to you when you’re there. Breaking the law and simply declaring that you’re an American doesn’t work. Obviously!
Plenty of better places to go than Turks & Caicos. Not worth it. Take your money and tourism somewhere else.
No, a stupid American was irresponsible, it's no one's fault but his.
Law is the same pretty much everywhere else. The rest of the World isn't populated by American idiots.
It would pretty much happen anywhere you go outside America. So the lesson is: do not bring ammo or firearms or even knives on vacation. Actually you can also get arrested if you have other offensive or defensive objects, like pepper spray or brass knuckles.
Vacation in the United States - lots to see.
@@hanshansen3885 There was no intent to bring on vacation a tiny amount of harmless-by-themselves rounds of ammunition. This incident needs to be addressed by its intent, first and foremost - _not_ the doltish, check-box style of interpreting and applying the law. The need and right for one to protect themselves exists no matter where you live in the world; regardless of what local weapon laws aim to achieve. Imagine only criminals, who already disregard the law, being the only ones with weapons. Now also imagine having enough blind faith and ignorant optimism in government as to think it could never become tyrannical toward you and that you, organized and bonded with your fellow citizens could not lord over the government the prospect of a too-costly revolution if said government overstepped their bounds too much and infringed too egregiously on individual rights.
I see how this could easily happen as it did happen to me. Fortunately, I was not arrested. my wife and I went on a cruise out of Fort Lauderdale. Packing, I used one of my bags that I had used as a range bag as I was a police officer and we would frequently go to the range for qualifying. We went through custom, check got on the cruise ship, and when I was unpacking, I found a live shotgun round that was stuck under the bottom padding of my bag. I immediately disposed of it overboard into the Atlantic Ocean, but I was thinking what if that same situation happened to me it would be devastating so I feel for this man. I hope it all works out well for him.
