Trouble in Paradise: Another Gun Owner Arrested for Ammo in Luggage at Turks and Caicos Airport

 

You’d think after all the news stories about guys like Ryan Watson and others who are facing more than a decade behind bars for accidentally bringing a few loose rounds of ammunition in their luggage while visiting the Turks and Caicos Islands, even folks who don’t own a gun would be double and triple-checking their bags before they head off on their tropical location just to make sure no errant ammo got tucked inside, while gun owners would have found a new vacation destination that’s more 2A-friendly.
